Wow! It’s not even close. Food banks can’t keep up with the need…
Question: “How long is this sustainable.”
Food bank director: “It’s not… for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

                Maryland’s Democratic Senate president blocks anti-Trump redistricting fight
                Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and House Speaker Adrienne A. Jones, two of the state’s top Democrats, want a special session to redistrict. Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson said no.
            
        
    
    
            🚨 MARYLAND: Your local leaders must hear from you ASAP. The only way Trump’s redistricting coup works is if blue states sit back and do nothing. Demand that your elected officials move forward to unrig the midterm maps and level the playing field before it’s too late: indivisible.org/resource/red...

                EXCLUSIVE: ‘People are using words like depressing and doomsday – feels like some sort of doomsday,’ one source told The Independent about the mood inside CBS News right now.
            
        
    
    
            “'The fact that we don't have money to pay journalists, but we have money to pay Bari Weiss between $100 and 200 million is indicative of what the Ellisons' true goal here is,' a network correspondent said. 'And it's not journalism.'"
