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.

Tonight, in Chicago, North Side rapid responders and community members held a vigil. At least ten people were abducted by ICE in Rogers Park alone today. We uplifted the message RESIST ICE in lights. We spoke out, sang together, grieved, and reaffirmed our commitment to defending our neighbors.

Republicans are mostly to blame for the shutdown (and I've said this since September). But Democrats knew that Trump flanked by Russ Vought would use SNAP as a pain point. Still, there's only one person who can end this: Trump. And he's shown no interest.

Americans go hungry as Republicans and Democrats point fingers amid shutdown
The whole exchange in the Senate about SNAP shows nobody is serious about stopping people from going hungry. Eric Garcia writes that Democrats aren’t blameless, but Trump bears the most responsibility

What is the history of member-driven change in the AAG?
Our archival research has shown that member-driven political activity has been common in AAG's history, including struggles around the Equal Rights Amendment; the US funding of contras in Nicaragua; and nuclear proliferation and war.

Self-serving politicians may want you to believe that violent crime is rampant and repeat offenders are to blame – but two things to remember:
1. Overall crime rates are at historically low levels
2. 74% of all jail bookings are for charges that are not "violent"
