Trump is now telling states to β€œUNDO” food assistance

He’s literally taking food from hungry Americans as he throws Gatsby parties with giant seafood towers

The bumper says 'rugged working man'.

But the cargo bed says β€˜cosplay builder with soft hands’.

Time to ban these fragile-man-mobiles from our cities.

Is Your Grocery Store Ripping You Off?
Robert Reich Is Your Grocery Store Ripping You Off?

Inflation is on the rise β€” particularly at the grocery store.

One big reason why?

Minimal competition opens the door to maximal price-gouging β€” and the opportunity to pull shady tricks like this. https://youtu.be/ad5GfgrPkYo?si=iDRiVN9_TsjGsD9k

🚨Republicans are attempting to impose a national abortion ban.
Posted 3 hours ago. Republicans are the party of supremacism, division, detention and death.

Thank you to Senator Ron Wyden for letting us know the MAGA Senate Republicans are trying to slide a nationwide abortion ban into the shutdown negotiations.

Hell no! They want to control every part of women’s lives and we aren’t having it.

F the patriarchy.

▫️State-specific variations, annual adjustments & household income can affect max amount

▫️Walmart's net profit (end of 1/25): $19.44B

▫️$3.00/hr raise would reduce or eliminate SNAP for some but, it wouldn't make it uneeded for all ⬇️ income individuals or families

James Watson, dead at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers James Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA who died Thursday at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

I see James Watson has died.

What did Watson discover?

Rosalind Franklin's lab notes.

Only we spell it 'S-T-E-A-L' these days.

One thing to do, especially if you’re a science writer or editor, is when you have occasion to mention the names of the discoverers of the structure of DNA, just say β€œWatson, Crick, and Franklin.” No one can stop us, and it is correct.

Oregon restores full SNAP benefits after judge orders Trump admin to fund program Gov. Kotek said 750,000 Oregonians received full November food benefits after a federal judge ordered the Trump admin to restore funding during the shutdown.

I’m proud that Oregon has taken action to make sure everyone can put food on the table this month.

Feeding our families shouldn’t be a partisan issue.

The President is playing political games with people’s lives, and we won’t stand for it.
