Dozens of States Sue Trump Administration Over Planned Food Stamp Cuts

The Trump administration has a rainy day fund that will keep SNAP from expiring in November. Trump is refusing to use it.

Funding SNAP isn't a choice he can make. It's a legal obligation. USDA must release the funds and stop punishing the American people.

Any of us who have ever had an older relative diagnosed with dementia know that these tests Combover Caligula keeps bragging about β€œacing” indicate that his basic mental competency is being tested-NOT HIS IQ! His repeated testing indicates that doctors and others suspect him of mental incompetency.

NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the tableβ€”then called it β€œrestructuring.”

The cuts:

πŸ“ŒNBCβ€―BLK (Black community coverage)

πŸ“ŒNBCβ€―Latino (Latino community coverage)

πŸ“ŒNBCβ€―Asianβ€―America (Asian American community coverage)

πŸ“ŒNBCβ€―Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed.

THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

Did you know that a typhoon just hit Alaska & displaced over 1,000 people and washed away entire communities?

If your media isn't covering this, it's bc these are Indigenous communities.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Of all the excuses not to show up to work while still collecting a paycheck, refusing to show up for 2 months so you can conceal info about sex trafficking because the perps are wealthy and powerful can only be conjured up in the toxic mind hive of Trump & House GOP leadership.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

OUR tax dollars are being used to bail out Argentina, OUR troops are being put on the ground in Israel & OUR soil is being used by Qatar for a military base of their own.
While OUR government is shutdown.
Anyone who believes OUR so-called β€œpresident” when he says he is β€œAmerica first”, is an idiot.

I Refuse to Stay Silent. Will You? Read more here.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

You know who takes a cognitive test? People whose family members suspect their loved one is suffering from dementia. If he kept getting β€œperfect” scores…they wouldn’t keep administering them. My take? He blew the first one he ever took. Now, they’re tracking the decline. I’d bet my hot coffee on it.

I really, really hope this was not a targeted attack. Because if this is where we are, there is no line MAGA won’t cross and it’s hard to imagine our democracy remaining intact.
