Folks, the $5B SNAP contingency fund has not vanished.
This meme is based on a sentence in the admin’s emergency appeal, taken out of context. They said they exhausted the $5B but still needed $4B more to fund November benefits. That is, they said they used the $5 to partially fund SNAP benefits.

Dear NY Times, a “loophole” implies a mistake or ambiguity in a rule that leads to unintended results. Calling the $800 exemption a loophole is an endorsement of Trump’s decision to revoke it. Just say Trump is costing consumers money by revoking a longstanding exemption, without editorializing.

I used exactly this prompt and it evaded the question 8 different times with follow-up questions before creating a fake link to a chart it clearly had not created. When I pointed out that the link didn’t work, it finally made this:

![On September 15, 2014, WWE and Warner Bros. announced a direct sequel to WrestleMania Mystery to be released in 2016. In February 2016, it was announced it will be named Scooby-Doo! and WWE: Curse of the Speed Demon.[6] Hulk Hogan was billed to be prominently featured.[7] However, on July 23, 2015, WWE terminated their contract with Hogan due to his racist comments; he has no role in the final version of the film. This film also marks the final film for Dusty Rhodes who already did voicework prior to his death a year before the film's release. It is the third co-production between Warner Bros. Animation and WWE Studios after Scooby-Doo! WrestleMania Mystery and The Flintstones & WWE: Stone Age SmackDown!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:d6jkysdrdu7ham7vii3bodyt/bafkreiahw25k3qw3vwwdkoglg7lasvrec3femrwkkwloqginiinhs43u6i@jpeg)

Never fails to impress me how quickly folks can take a post by a Black woman about a problem faced by Black women, and try to take out the race part and the gender part.

Whoa! I thought there was next to no chance of a deal to exclude the US from Pillar 2, even within the G7. Getting rid of 899 is good news. Probably not great news for the future of multilateral tax cooperation, but electing Trump in the first place probably put the nail in that coffin. #TaxSky

This does sound unsettling. Thoughts and prayers to the men of Texas for the difficult feelings they’re having as a direct result of the laws they passed.
