As someone who has been on SNAP benefits in the past, what will happen Nov. 1 is that people will start diverting other funds towards groceries. They will choose to feed their families over making credit card payments, paying medical bills, car payments, etc. This is going to affect a lot of things.

Post a perfect album from 1989. Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, 1984-1989.

More Trump job losses as GM blames 3,300 layoffs on regulatory changes Americans are losing more auto jobs due to republicans' assault on domestic manufacturing, and China will be the country that benefits.

Lots of reporting on SNAP getting the details wrong.

SNAP is not set to run out of money on November 1. There’s money in the contingency fund to pay benefits.

The Trump admin is illegally refusing to deliver benefits on November 1, despite having funding to pay benefits.

Americans give President Trump exceptionally low marks on how he has managed the costs weighing on U.S. households, with 63% of the country disapproving of his handling of the cost of living.

Governor, delegation send letter to Interior over American Prairie State economy, grazing rights were the primary concern in the letter as ranchers worry about spread of brucellosis

These dipshits support the president’s plan to flood the market with Argentinian beef but they think that a couple hundred bison grazing on public land is the threat to Montana’s agricultural industry.

I am begging #mtnews to note that Senator Daines voted three months ago to cut funding for both SNAP and Head Start whenever you print his talking points that attempt to blame Democrats for delaying the programs.

"Mate, I can't do anything but tell it to you straight. This Canada thing is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The Canadians ran an advertisement showing Ronald Reagan being against tariffs. Guess what? Ronald Reagan was against tariffs."

Would a demolition company, especially one that works in DC, take a project like this without seeing plans/documentation that all approvals were in place?

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Per PL 87-286, the White House and grounds are a National Park System property, subject to the Organic Act. IANAL but doesn’t that mean anybody could sue for the APA violation of unpermitted activity?

Montana cattle producers push back on Trump's Argentina beef-import plan Montana cattle producers are raining concerns about President Donald Trump’s proposal to import beef from Argentina to help lower domestic beef prices.

Amazing how nobody in the Montana press is asking Daines, Zinke, Sheehy or Downing if they support Trump's plan to import Argentinian beef.

So then essentially anyone is allowed to bulldoze and build in a national park and if DOI/NPS doesn't enforce the Organic Act then nobody else can stop them? Seems like Trump just threw the doors open for rampant private development in every national park in America.

PL 87-286 says that the WH "shall be administered pursuant to" the National Park Service Organic Act of 1916. The only exemptions are for "administration" or "use and occupancy" by the President...bulldozers seem like a stretch.

This is just straight up illegal demolition of a national park.

Or maybe use less passive voice: an ICE agent shot a US Marshall.

I do wish just one of the news stories that let the GOP spout talking points about delayed SNAP and WIC funding would mention that they all voted to defund both programs three months ago.

And not just historic preservation applies. Under PL 87-286 the White House is a NPS property and explicitly covered by the Organic Act.

The President is for all practical purposes using secret donations to bulldoze a national park.

Yep. Demolition and construction on a National Park System property, paid for by secret billionaires. This is a staggeringly dangerous precedent for ALL national parks. It opens the door for privatization of America’s most precious public lands.

Screenshot of false claim by NBC Montana that the Open Society Foundations donated $3 TRILLION dollars to Indivisible. "Through a fund, the foundation issued a $3 trillion grant to the Indivisible Organization that was good for two years "to support the grantee's social welfare activities.”"

Wow THREE TRILLION dollars is some truly shameless misinformation.

The White House grounds are a National Park Service property, and this project does not appear in compliance with any of the laws governing national park management.

This will be a great precedent for selling off other national parks and public lands for privately funded development.

Montana Ag Network: How tariffs abroad are impacting farmers at home Farmers have been struggling to figure out what the future ahead of them looks like since the announcement of across-the-board tariffs this past April.

“Spring wheat, the pulse crops, peas, lentils, chickpeas, barley, none of those crops are looking like winners at this point. So it really doesn't look like there's not very many choices anyway that I'm aware of where you can, given the current state, make money next year"
