a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

SNAP, the country's largest anti-hunger program, dates back to the Great Depression and has never been disrupted this way. Most recipients are seniors, families with kids, and those with disabilities.

Food aid has never been cut off during a shut down.
Secretary Rollins is refusing to use USDA emergency funds for SNAP.
She was also the one who said no amnesty for farm workers because all the “able bodied” Medicaid recipients can do their jobs.
They want us sick, hungry, scared & poor.

Exclusive: USDA says it won't use emergency funds for food stamps
States also won't be reimbursed if they cover SNAP expenses on their own, the memo says.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.
I did it because the government isn’t.

While the EO on "antifa" does not have the force of law, it does provide an opening for local law enforcement -- who have banded together in their dislike of any reform or critique -- to harass, prosecute, and jail people they do not like, namely anyone who tries to hold them accountable.

Just as an aside on this: I understand Antifa isn’t an organisation and it seems like Stupid Trump. But I feel the next step will be for the regime to define who or what is Antifa. The parameters are specifically vague so anyone Trump doesn’t like can be branded a terrorist.

They claim Guevara “presents a danger to the community because he films and records [police] activities and shares his reporting with the public.”
