In MI, SNAP benefits have been ORDERED to be suspended by the federal govt. They are targeting the most vulnerable yet again. The goal of our federal govt seems to be to cruel at every turn to those who need the help the most while giving extra benefits to those who need them the least.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable
