A 2020 study found that Amazon—which shares owner Jeff Bezos with The Washington Post—is one of the largest employers of people on SNAP.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"
Raid in Georgetown:
“Inside the building, the witnesses described selective, aggressive searches. “They turned over everything … every single bed in the Latino apartments. Nothing was touched in the non-Latino apartments besides the doors being destroyed,” one said.
To comply with a court order, the Trump administration is using the SNAP contingency fund but refusing to transfer additional monies to fund SNAP fully, which it could easily and legally do.

Could you imagine the reaction if Joe Biden admitted something like that?
Understanding the complicated web of federal law enforcement invading our communities can be complicated, especially when you're face down on pavement and unable to breathe.
Here's a handy guide to knowing which federal agency is violating your civil liberties and human rights at any given moment.
I really think we should do a whole series about facts like this:

Outrage Erupts as Trump Sends ICE to Polling Locations
With millions geared up to vote in a key off-year election, including a hotly watched redistricting measure in CA, Trump has ignited fierce backlash by deploying federal election monitors—sparking accusations of “blatant voter intimidation."
Trump's USDA is ordering grocery stores to follow a federal rule outlawing them from giving discounts to SNAP recipients whose benefits are currently frozen illegally.
So Trump's happy to finally follow the law as long as long as he can inflict pain and cruelty? Got it.
How can you "leak" a public policy proposal?

The guy owned his own business with his son.

This was pre earthquake but I’m sure the earthquake could have caused the same thing, I know the house jumped a few times and then the waves started and it was rocking like crazy.

Try removing the drywall in the laundry room above the leak to see what’s going on? In our case the main drain for the house was cracked. I can’t remember who fixed it.
