USDA Quietly Deletes Its Contingency Plan for Funding SNAP The 55-page “lapse of funding” document for USDA is no longer available online.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture had a plan to keep the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program running during a government shutdown by using contingency funds — but the document laying out that plan has now disappeared from the agency’s website.

Sorry but the Winsome Earle-Sears campaign bus catching fire is the perfect metaphor for her campaign, just incredible.

In Utah, Trump's Vision for Homelessness Begins to Take Shape The proposed site where Utah plans to place as many as 1,300 homeless people outside of Salt Lake City. State officials promise large-scale involuntary addiction and mental health treatment at Salt Lake City's edge. Critics see "a prison, or a warehouse." Listen to this article • 13:39 min Learn more By Ellen Barry and Jason DeParle Photographs by Kim Raff Ellen Barry, who covers mental health, reported from Salt Lake City. Jason DeParle, who writes about poverty, reported from Washington. Oct. 29, 2025 To glimpse the future of homelessness policy in the age of President Trump, consider 16 acres of scrubby pasture on the outskirts of Salt Lake City where the state plans to place as many as 1,300 homeless people in what supporters call a services campus and critics deem a detention camp.

They also vow stern measures to move homeless people to the remote site and force many of them to undergo treatment, reflecting a nationwide push by some conservatives for a new approach to homelessness, one embraced and promoted by Mr. Trump. With outdoor sleeping banned, removal to the edge of town may become the only way some homeless Utahns can avoid jail. Planners say the facility will also hold hundreds of mentally ill homeless people under court-ordered civil commitment and the effort will include an "accountability center" for those with addictions.

"An accountability center is involuntary, OK — you're not coming in and out," Randy Shumway, chairman of the state Homeless Services Board, said in an interview. Utah will end a harmful "culture of permissiveness," he said, and guide homeless people "towards human thriving."

Trying to stay grounded but damn they make it difficult.

"An accountability center is involuntary, OK — you're not coming in and out," Randy Shumway, chairman of the state Homeless Services Board, said in an interview.“

WTF 🤬

A police officer in Baltimore, Maryland, attempted to run over and kill a civilian who refused to answer their questions.

SCOOP: several days ago Zohran Mamdani was overheard saying he "needs" to eat dinner. An inside source confirmed he had eaten breakfast and lunch that day, giving him an estimated 2+ weeks without additional calories before he might have died from starvation

These fucks do not know what hard work is.

AI Is the Bubble to Burst Them All I talked to the scholars who literally wrote the book on tech bubbles—and applied their test.

"...with the casino-ification of the economy, the breakdown of a meaningful regulatory apparatus to rein in all of the above—well, it has all come just in time to give novice investors a vehicle to sink their savings into the vague promise of superintelligence."

These people are so god damn stupid, they're trying to erase the literal concept of gender in an ideological crusade against trans people.

Michael McLean @cornoisseur Follow I'm out strolling along Milwaukee Avenue, and a couple middle schoolers just handed me a whistle + information about how to resist ICE in Chicago.

In the US, school children are distributing whistles and information on how to resist the Trump regime’s ICE ethnic cleansing operations.

Promise?

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

She's getting her "treats" either way...

Houston, we have a problem.

And probably plenty of other American cities.

And this is before SNAP payments end.

Stressing once again. SNAP effectively is canceled across the country starting next month, and that's gonna hurt a fuckin ton.

There is a black mirror episode basically about the exact same thing as Amazon's Mechanical Turk platform.

It's supposed to be bad. It's horribly dystopian.
