"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks.
I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:

It would be nice if the US had a system of government that didn’t allow the president to arbitrarily tariff whoever he wanted, except we very explicitly do, and since no one seems to care or react, then I guess the rules of our government no longer exist

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.
The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

Pretty clear that a lot of people jumped the gun on the motive behind Kirk’s assassination. The shooter:
1. Grew up in a Republican family
2. Donated to Donald Trump
3. Loved guns
4. Was steeped in Groyper culture
This isn’t a simple “raging leftist hated Kirk” scenario.

This is not about law and order—if it was, Trump would coordinate with the city and police on public safety.
Instead, he's planning to invade, intimidate and stage chaos all so he can swoop in and play the hero.
Nothing about this is normal. NOTHING.
