Well sure, but people are only SNAP-EBT customers if they’re using SNAP-EBT funds — it even says so in the USDA notice “offering discounts… to SNAP paying customers.” Pretty sure there isn’t a violation here.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Twin B started sophomore year at University of Minnesota today. Macroeconomics professor started class by projecting ChatGPT on the screen and searching for an intro to macroeconomics video, which he then played.

Sometimes posts hit so close to center that you shudder a little.
Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

As though there isn't an entire marketplace and thousands of social media accounts devoted to "looks exactly like [Lululemon] but is way cheaper."
Miller: "If you had a choice between a doll from China that might have lead paint from it that is not as well constructed, as a doll made in America that has a highly environmental and regulatory standard & those two products are both on Amazon, that yes, you probably would be willing to pay more."

What happens when China doesn't respond to the latest tariff increase by raising their own tariffs, but by dumping all of the US treasury bonds that they hold (about $750 billion)?

One of my favorite Saturday morning activities used to be sitting on the couch and letting the NHL condensed games autoplay on TV. I don’t even mind that they added ads this year. But how they managed to screw up the auto-play feature (it doesn’t work or crashes) is beyond me.

Apparently, on Roku and other streamers, you can pinpoint ads down to the last 4 digits of a zip code (the ones nobody uses) - Rs did this in 2024. We need to raise money to get Murphy, Mayor Pete, and other effective people on those ads. @mcuban.bsky.social
Chris Murphy Emerges as a Clear Voice for Democrats Countering Trump
The second-term senator from Connecticut is eschewing caution and throwing out the traditional political playbook as he seeks a broader audience for his critiques of the president and his agenda.

Okay, so I watched a bunch of regular season hockey last night and (not surprisingly) was disappointed because it was soooo much slower than the 4 nations.
Hear me out: 3 on 3 all the time.

Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason."

At what time today will Trump announce that Canada and Mexico have capitulated and agreed to ‘aggressively control’ (or something) fentanyl coming into the country, therefore, he wins and the USA is respected?Over/Under is 3pm eastern.

I’d appreciate it if someone would watch a few episodes of Pop Culture Jeopardy on Amazon and then explain to me why Colin Jost isn’t the full time host of regular Jeopardy. The Pop Culture version is a worse format and he’s still clearly really good at it.
