Maybe I'm being too critical, but this NYT headline really grates on me. It assumes the reader doesn't know anyone on SNAP, or isn't on SNAP themselves. Which, I think, says a lot about who is writing the news and who the NYT sees as its audience.

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.

A single person making $82,000 a year should not need a subsidized apartment. A family making $117,000 should be able to buy a home.
We need to build more homes until median rent is less than 30% of median monthly income and median home prices are less than 4x median annual income.

I think you should let him hang himself. If he says he hasn't been on the plane or to the house, then that gives
you a valuable PR and political currency. You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive
benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt. Of course, it is
possible that, when asked, he'll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political
correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime.

🚨BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes.
Read them for yourself. It’s time to end this cover-up and RELEASE THE FILES.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".
But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.
