If SNAP benefits vanished tomorrow, feeding 42 million Americans for a month would cost about $7.8 billion.Thatβs less than 1% of the combined net worth of the three richest men in the U.S. A reminder of how obscene inequality has become and how easily hunger could be solved if we chose to.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

'This Isn't Justice... This Is Merely Accountability': Ex-Cop Found Guilty of Murdering Sonya Massey
"Accountability has begun, and we now hope the court will impose a meaningful sentence that reflects the severity of these crimes and the life that was lost," said attorneys for Massey's family.
"This isn't justice. Justice is Sonya Massey still being alive. This is merely accountability," Nina Turner said after an Illinois jury found white ex-cop Sean Grayson guilty of second-degree murder for fatally shooting the unarmed Black woman in her home after she called 911.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
Itβs corporate greed. Itβs an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

The Clock Is Ticking on New START Expirationβand a Nuclear Arms Race
Allowing the New START treaty between Russia and the United States to expire in 2026 could lead to an unconstrained race for nuclear weapons around the world.
Today marks 100 days until the expiration of the New START Treaty--the last remaining agreement that limits U.S. and Russian strategic nuclear forces. Once it expires, we will be left with no legal barrier to a major buildup of the world's two largest nuclear arsenals. (π§΅π)
