Some residents of Southern California were under evacuation orders on Friday as an unusually strong storm system moved through the region, bringing with it a risk for flash flooding and landslides in areas recently burned by wildfires. The wet storm brought an initial soaking of rain earlier on Friday. But the worst is yet to come. On Saturday, forecasters expect heavier rain to raise the risk of flash flooding as the system pulls in additional moisture off the Pacific Ocean.

In his Thursday order, the Rhode Island judge, John J. McConnell Jr., admonished the Trump administration for opting to make only partial SNAP payments, saying the administration knew this would only further delay getting aid to people. He ordered the administration to tap into a $23 billion fund for school lunch and child nutrition programs to pay for full SNAP benefits in November. USDA, however, has repeatedly refused to tap into that money, arguing that it is separate from SNAP and that the government does not have funds because of “congressional failure” to appropriate new money. In court papers, the administration said it would not “raid an entirely different program” because it could lead to a shortfall in funding school meals.

Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, said on Sunday that he intends to subpoena Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the retired government infectious disease specialist, to testify before his committee if Fauci does not agree to do so voluntarily. Paul made his comments in a virtual address to a conference hosted by Children’s Health Defense, the nonprofit that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. founded and led until he ran for president. The senator has been a relentless critic of Fauci, who helped steer the nation through the coronavirus pandemic, repeatedly accusing him of covering up evidence that Covid-19 was the result of a laboratory leak, and of lying to Congress. Fauci, who has vehemently denied those accusations, had no comment on the senator’s remarks.

Food stamps: The Trump administration told states on Saturday that they must “immediately undo” any actions to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families, in a move that added to the uncertainty surrounding the nation’s largest anti-hunger program during the government shutdown. In late-night guidance seen by The New York Times, the Agriculture Department also threatened financial penalties against states. By Sunday morning, officials in several states said they remained unsure how the directive would affect the roughly one in eight Americans who rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program to buy groceries.

Screenshot of a Washington Post article with portions that mention how Trump's voters don't blame him highlighted in yellow. The screenshot reads: Americans are divided over whom to blame for the closure of government and its cascading impacts, according to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll released last week, but more U.S. adults blame Republicans than Democrats. More than 4 in 10 — 45 percent — say Trump and the GOP are mainly responsible. In MAGA strongholds, loyalty to Trump and his GOP have helped the president elude political consequences for felony convictions and impeachments. Now many of his supporters have extended similar grace during a government shutdown that is emptying the pantries and refrigerators of the most vulnerable Americans. “Stressful is not a strong enough word,” said Mary Little, an 80-year-old retired nurse and the widow of a Vietnam veteran as she loaded cornbread mix, coffee and cereal into her car outside First United Methodist Church of Bossier City, just four miles from one of Johnson’s district offices. She said she still retained pride for Johnson and Trump but was outraged at pretty much everyone in Washington who didn’t show enough empathy for the most vulnerable.

A recent analysis from KFF found that if the enhanced premium tax credits expire, as they are currently set to do on Dec. 31, ACA enrollees will see their monthly premiums more than double – rising by roughly 114% on average. An estimated 22 million out of 24 million ACA marketplace enrollees are currently receiving a tax credit to lower their monthly premiums. Even if those credits are extended, KFF found that the amount insurers charge for ACA premiums will rise by an average 26% in 2026.

But despite the outcry in Congress and the rancher industry group, the bailout has yet to erupt as a major issue for most grassroots supporters of Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement. Cupples, the Arkansas farmer, said even though he will have to dip into his savings this year, he would still support Trump if he were on the ballot again.

In Trump 2.0, American policy influence has shifted from its previous channels — agency officials, top lawmakers and staffers on key congressional committees — to a new reality where change comes suddenly from the top. The president and a handful of lieutenants have seized full control over policies once considered the remit of Congress and experts at agencies, including hyperspecific issues like tariff rates, high-skilled visa fees and funding freezes. Trump’s gravitational pull has forced CEOs to act as their companies’ top lobbyists, plying the president with gifts and concessions to secure their policy priorities.

MY BEAUTIFUL PROTESTERS AND RESISTERS: Respond to the tangerine tyrant's insanity by setting a new level of absurd. So silly even Fox News doesn't buy 'violent protests'. Let your freak flags fly high!
Black background with a suited figure spraying a rainbow and the following message NOTHING would make the Tangerine Tyrant happier than any tiny excuse to label protests as 'violent' and respond with brutality and force. Perhaps this is inevitable but my challenge to all of the awesome protesters and resistance as a whole is to be UTTERLY, COMPLETELY, INSANELY RIDICULOUS! Set the bar for UTTER ABSURDITY so high that ANY AND ALL FOOTAGE of the protests look as silly as possible so even Fox News viewers have a hard time believing any claim of 'dangerous antifa'. YOUR MISSION: SHOW HOW RIDICULOUS THIS REGIME IS BY SETTING THE BAR OF RIDICULOUSNESS

Map shows republican vs democrat districts in Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina for a total of 24 democrat seats in current section 2 of the voting rights act.

(The abuse of dedicated Civil servants will eventually have consequences even if they can't strike legally. There isn't an American alive in America who doesn't depend on dedicated civil servants. The abuse of these dedicated professionals is an attack on the services America depends on)
Screenshot of the following: Prohibition on striking: The Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 banned strikes by federal employees. This was reinforced by the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, which made it illegal for a federal worker to "participate in a strike" or even belong to a union that asserts the right to strike against the U.S. government. Criminal penalty: Striking against the federal government is a felony, punishable by termination and a ban from future federal employment. Dismissal for striking: The U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board has confirmed that participating in a strike is grounds for removal, regardless of the duration.

“We have a strained and severely stretched situation,” said Tom Fahy, legislative director for the National Weather Service Employees Organization, the union that represents the agency’s workers. The Weather Service has a famously dedicated workforce, he said, but workers can put in only so many long hours and extra shifts. “There’s a breaking point.”
