Republicans spent the last 50 years shipping all our manufacturing jobs to Asia and now they wonder why so many people need SNAP

1. My background is in CBRN defense. I was involved in the field long before the emergence of SARS-CoV-2.

I used to essentially discount comments on social media - especially this platform - as fringe, not representative of the real world. Sadly, this is no longer the case.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) actually told the press that Democrats would be the ones hurt most by losing SNAP.

To be fair, since he lives in Florida instead of the state he represents, maybe he doesnโ€™t realize 752,000 Alabamians rely on SNAPโ€”14.6% of the stateโ€™s population.

Pending before the court is Plaintiffsโ€™ Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order [Doc.

No. 3] seeking to enjoin, on an emergency basis, Defendantsโ€™ November 1, 2025 suspension of

benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (โ€œSNAPโ€). For the reasons stated

below, Plaintiffs have standing to bring this action and are likely to succeed on their claim that

Defendantsโ€™ suspension of SNAP benefits is unlawful. Where that suspension of benefits rested

on an erroneous construction of the relevant statutory provisions, the court will allow Defendants

to consider whether they will authorize at least reduced SNAP benefits for November, and report

back to the court no later than Monday, November 3, 2025.

All of this is true enough as far as it goes. But even more problematic is the fact that when the U.S. Coast Guard interdicts suspect vessels, boarding and searching for drugs, a quarter of the time they find no contraband.

We're not just murdering drug smugglers.
We are murdering innocent people.
