Federal judge orders Trump administration to fully fund SNAP benefits in November A federal judge in Rhode Island has ordered the Trump administration to find the money to fully fund SNAP benefits for November.

The President has always had the power to fully fund SNAP benefits in November. Now he’s being ordered to do so by tomorrow.
 
It’s cruel and heartless to withhold food assistance from Americans in need.

They Didn’t Have to Do This By passing Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, congressional Republicans have talked themselves into an incomprehensibly reckless plan.

“Congress is about to impose massive harm on tens of millions of Americans,” @jonathanbchait.bsky.social writes, “in order to benefit a handful of other Americans who least need the help. The bill almost seems designed to generate a political backlash”:

Not all of us, just the republicans. We need a few more votes in the house and the senate to block their daily BS.

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing.

Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle.

Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

Kristi Noem thinks her lie about Sen. Padilla not identifying himself is a real own when, in fact, her supposed inability to recognize a US Senator--who is the chair of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship & Border Safety--makes her goons' thuggery even more disgraceful.

American Panopticon The Trump administration is pooling data on Americans. Experts fear what comes next.

Trump and DOGE are not just undoing decades of privacy measures: They appear to be ignoring that they were ever written.

ICE Agents and Border Patrol took hard working migrants at gun point while seeking employment. If you have been impacted & need help call my office at 909 481-6474.

Right now Speaker Mike Johnson is calling republicans trying to kill a bill to give new moms in congress a leave without having to miss votes. Instead, he should be calling us back to put Trump in check and stop this assault on our economy & retirement. We must oppose these tariffs!

The Theft, Harm, and Presidential Grift of Privatizing the National Weather Service  Our investment in National Weather Service is repaid many times over in economic benefit.

"The country has invested in, and innovated through, this scientific public service for over a century, not for selling it to the highest bidder, but for the common good. Dismantling NOAA and the National Weather Service is a presidential grift that we must oppose."

Opinion | What Autocrats Want From Academics: Servility In 1931, Italian scholars were made to take loyalty oaths. Will that happen to us?

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...
