This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Remember when presidents used to actually make speeches saying hunger in America should not exist because we were the greatest country in the world?
Good times.

Exactly. I’m not worried about voter turnout as much as a fair election. I’m not confident.

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.
Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

In an unprecedented move, Austria is regulating rents for the entire country.
All apartments that already have government regulation have seen a total rent freeze this year.
All formerly unregulated units are also getting rent stabilization to limit landlord rent hikes.

Microsoft is now warning investors about the pushback against its massive data centers.
The tech giant's latest earnings reports says: “We also face community opposition, local moratoriums and hyper-local dissent that may impede or delay infrastructure development."

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.

Trump’s tariffs hit grocery bills hard: imported fruits & veggies could rise 5–7%, with Mexican tomatoes up 26–40%.
Families may pay $2,600–$4,900 more a year for food—proof that tariffs are just hidden taxes at the checkout.

So the government can spend $40,000,000,000 to bail out Argentina and $200,000,000 for Kristi Noem’s private jets.
But when it comes to federal food assistance, "the well has run dry."
This administration doesn't care about working people.

The government is entered its 3rd week of the shutdown.
But Trump isn't worried.
Instead of ending the shutdown he'll be hosting another $1 MILLION per plate dinner at Mar-a-Lago.
Guess the billionaire class can’t be bothered with the troubles of Americans missing paychecks.

In New Jersey a bill has been introduced to make sure data centers pay for electricity they use. This power surcharge would go toward modernizing the state’s electric grid.
