This morning, the House of Representatives voted to advance its budget reconciliation bill, which includes roughly $300 billion in cuts to SNAP. The Senate will now take this bill under consideration. “A vote for this bill was a vote to increase childhood hunger. The majority in the House is turning their backs on families in need, putting families, including the 14 million kids who receive grocery benefits through SNAP, at greater risk of not having enough nutritious food to eat if this bill becomes law. “This proposal reflects the largest and most extreme cuts to SNAP in history, increasing red tape and bureaucracy for working families, cutting the value of future benefits and trying to sneak in billions of dollars in cuts by forcing an unprecedented and impossible cost burden onto states. These cuts will do nothing to improve the lives of Americans and will make it even harder for those who do receive benefits to afford enough food to feed their families. “We will continue to work with the Senate to reject the harmful cuts to SNAP in the House bill, and return to bipartisan negotiations that will actually strengthen and improve nutrition security for kids and families.”

US IRS chief to quit over deal to share data with immigration officials, report says The acting head of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service plans to resign over a new agreement to share the tax data of undocumented immigrants with Homeland Security personnel, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday, citing two people familiar with the situation.

Republicans used to say “undocumented immigrants don’t pay taxes.” Now the IRS is handing their tax data to DHS… So which is it?

Seems like you’d have to pay taxes to even have tax data…

3) emergency food supports that help kids get food wherever they are

Column: Martin Luther King Jr.'s son has a message for Donald Trump – and for America Suzette Hackney talked with Martin Luther King III about the convergence of Inauguration Day with the day of service that honors his father.

In times of division, we must turn to each other—not on each other. We don’t have the luxury of giving up. The path forward is through service, building community, and uniting this nation.

Yesterday they renamed it the Gulf of America. Today it's snowing on the Gulf Coast. I'm not saying I did it... but I'm also not saying I didn't.
