#Melissa has made landfall in #Jamaica, and has preliminarily tied the record for the lowest pressure of any landfalling hurricane in Atlantic history: 892 mb. That was last observed 90 years ago with the 1935 Labor Day hurricane.
The storm does not look like it even notices Jamaica being there.

Starting November 1st, SNAP benefits are being cut, leaving millions of people with limited or no access to food.

If you are able to help, help. Food banks also take cash donations, which allow them to fill the banks with what they know is most needed.

We are truly all we have.

Remember that this is what the Trump-Republican big, ugly bill was all about. It's Robin Hood in reverse.

Why would any Democrat vote for a continuing resolution that greenlights this regime's cruelty?
