Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Congrats @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

If you’re wondering what the future of the Democratic Party looks like, watch the young, brown democratic socialist on the TV right now.

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

We're currently at the "Jesus didn't say we should feed people"
portion of the fall of American Evangelicalism.

I think this is going to be worse than the depression. Instead of having a president trying to get us out of it we’ll have someone actively trying to make it worse all while lying and calling it a golden age

A federal judge has ruled that the acting U.S. attorney for the Central District of California — the largest federal judicial district in the country — has been "unlawfully serving" in the role, in part because the Senate hasn’t confirmed him.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

DID YOU KNOW?

Adam and Eve started wearing fig leaves because Nancy Mace wouldn't stop checking their junk.

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'"

I've saved her some time.

That is unfortunately the way our system of federalism is set up 🫠 it’s definitely time for major change in our system of government.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

A quick reminder that the House is not in session because Speaker Johnson CANCELED it, not because of the current shutdown.

Breaking on MSNBC:

Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

What did people do before SNAP?”

They died.

Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival.

They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore

The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

Lawyers allege cover-up after fed shoots at man during D.C. traffic stop Neither D.C. police nor the Department of Homeland Security have explained why the Homeland Security agent fired his weapon.

BREAKING: A Department of Homeland Security officer shot at an unarmed black man during a traffic stop in DC, and the DC police officer said he was told by superiors not to mention the shooting in his incident report. 1/ www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Parking spaces in my building go for $18 an hour which means the parking space earns more than the parking attendant.

When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.

A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.

I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

he’s gonna do it. by any means necessary. count on it.

I see that the United States' peculiar brand of Christian Nationalism includes judging the poor for needing SNAP benefits (judging is something Jesus said *not to* do) but not helping the poor with SNAP benefits (helping the poor is something Jesus told them *to* do).

So, basically, Johnson has given the House of Representatives a paid vacation for a month. Do any of you get a month paid vacation because your boss doesn't want to do his job?
