Working overtime to snatch food away from children.
⚠️ Feds sent a late night memo demanding states “immediately undo” any actions to provide full SNAP benefits.
(It’s unclear if there will be an effort to claw back benefits already distributed, but an expert says such efforts would not be legal.)

I guess I'm not going to Angouleme any time soon.
The short version is that the company in charge of the festival mistreats authors and its own employees (up to firing a victim of sexual assault last year) and that company has just had its contract renewed for ten years.

The only thing crazier than the Supreme Court saying that the Trump administration doesn’t actually have to give Americans the help they are entitled to is the fact that the administration appealed an order to feed the hungry in the first place.
Supreme Court temporarily blocks full SNAP benefits even as they'd started to go out

Started watching The Nero Wolfe Mysteries, a 2001 A&E TV version starring Maury Chaykin and Timothy Hutton. It's good! I love period TV.

I read this and immediately thought “well that would actually be awesome because then Marty can go back to the 90s where he probably had a really awesome time as a teenager” and then I was like oh wait his PARENTS would have been teenagers in the 90s and then I just sat here for like 45 minutes
