Trump administration will require SNAP participants to reapply for benefits
Food aid recipients are already required to recertify their information regularly. But the move is part of USDA chief Brooke Rollinsβ effort to overhaul the program.
USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins plans to make all SNAP recipients reapply and prove "that they literally are vulnerable and they canβt survive without it.β
The 'genuinely disabled'
The 'literally vulnerable'
They keep moving the goalposts.
They were never going to fund SNAP. It's eugenics:

at one point, i watched a cook county sheriffβs officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Clearly the players who play the sports we love to watch hate gambling; think it's ruining the game. The only people who want it are networks and the league. I think it's important to remember that. Whenever you fire up the gambling app, you're fucking with the people you love to watch every week

The thing is that if you get your data from DoorDash, it might be more convenient but the costs add up in the long run, because itβs really better and cheaper to just go directly to the data place and pick it up yourself.

This is because Intuit, Inc. gave Donald Trump $1,000,000 for his "inauguration." Intuit owns Turbo Tax, which makes money off charging taxpayers to file their returns.
The corruption is rampant and in plain sight.

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.
Did not expect one of the best paragraphs Iβd read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. Itβs like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Letβs get a grip on whatβs happening here.
