SNAP benefits feed essential needs while still leaving many hungry for more Journalist and author Adam Chandler explains what so much of the conversation about them gets wrong.

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net.

In this guest post, Adam Chandler sorts fact from fiction:

Man these people struggle with pronouns AND nouns.

It's this reason I'm feeling so hopeless. I don't know if msu has the backers and determination to do what it takes to compete these days. We're already gonna lose most of this roster most likely. Just feels out of reach

But I honestly don't know if msu values fb enough anymore to take any action this weekend. They don't have the funds, the backing or the draw to compete nowadays. And that's really depressing. If Smith.gets fired you'll need 3 busses to carry the players leaving. It all just feels hopeless.

Listen there were issues in a lot of places tonight but the fact is your defense did enough to keep you in the game and coaching and poor preparation took you out of it. When you had a chance to put pressure on, you coached your way out of it and gave um momentum.

This makes me sick as an @msu-athletics.bsky.social fan. He's a racist loser who does damage to MSU reputation by being on the sideline.

This might be the bravest man in America. This is awesome, embarrass those weak fake-ass losers.

Ha yeah the new coach has done a lot of great things, but that would be an other-wordly outcome Friday. :)

Surprised Indiana only dropped 2 spots and suprised Mich State not even showing up in the received votes after sweeping Indiana and at 14-2 (admittedly with a weak non-con).

I've been looking for it but can't find it yet. I see an updated RPI but not the AVCA.

Something tells me the cops who actually follow through and leave will be making the force better by doing so. Good riddence.

This is quickly looking like a game at the end of the year will be "when the dam finally broke"

Truth... So hard to watch.

This was the cover of one of Rocks first EPs. He can kindly FUCK all the way off out of Michigan. We don't want him.

How is it possible that people running a massive athletic department at a huge university couldn't see coming what the rest of us did. This meltdown is hilarious except for the kids that are being hurt by this circus.

Wow I didn't know the disparity was that big. Kind of crazy. But like you said, in the end if teams keep winning this all sorts out

Texas over Neb. by way of strength of sched? That was interesting to me. I know the win over PSU doesn't really look all that good right now but they've still beat Kent., Pitt, Creighton, Utah and Stanford. Tex has more ranked wins I guess. It's close for sure. Pitt should certainly rise

Clear targeting on Nebraska missed by refs on that completion on first and long. Remains the most inconsistently called penalty in the game.

You want to find a place where video games have put society in danger it's with this administration and they're small-dick energy thinking that real life is a Call of Duty game and they need to collect tokens in order to unlock DLC.

They are so patently pathetic.

This is the epitome of a weak, spineless man who always acted like a jackass but was never smart enough or strong enough to back it up puffing his chest out now because his older brother is with him. These people are the opposite of masculine.

What a complete embarrassment. Can’t wait for Europe to finish embarrassing us today.

US fans at the Ryder Cup doing their best to let the world know Trump isn’t the only embarrassment in the country. Too many making absolute asses of themselves today. What a joke.

Once again, these people do not have the training, temperament, and in many cases, the intellect to have a job like this.

These people do NOT have the temperament to be in this job. They're putting testosterone-fueled maniacs in positions where the key job requirement should be staying calm in difficult situations.

This guy might be the most destructive force against education in the country. He admits as much when he says he wants to "destroy" the teacher's unions. All in a state that was near last in the country in education under his watch.

Agree, there's a place for supercar EVs, just like ICE supercars. We've gone too far. Generally, EVs only need to move a car 0-60 in 6-7 seconds at best. Battery tech, charging, better use of energy will push EVs along. A 3.1 0-60 isn't going to influence people used to driving 180-HP 4-cylinders

What Kelsey Mitchell has done this season in Indiana is simply stunning. Ravaged by injuries she's been the consistent force and carried a massive load.

I can't even imagine what it's like for msu players to try to play right now. Gotta be just about impossible.

Really wish they could just all it halftime now and give the teams a chance to gather themselves. Pick it back up right here.
