⚠️ Feds sent a late night memo demanding states “immediately undo” any actions to provide full SNAP benefits.
(It’s unclear if there will be an effort to claw back benefits already distributed, but an expert says such efforts would not be legal.)

Trump is holding our tax dollars hostage and cutting off the funding that keeps 440,000 Minnesotans from hunger.
I just announced $4 million in new funding for Minnesota’s food shelves to help our neighbors weather the storm.

Today US Rep Tom Emmer called anyone who is going to protest on October 18 anti-American. This is a great day to call Tom Emmer‘s phone lines with some patriotic messages. Tom Emmer is the house, majority whip, a second place finisher. He has done nothing for Minnesota, but collect a huge salary.

Well, at least they are redirecting literary grant money to "foster AI competency" (clearly lacking in this AI generated 2nd paragraph), support for the military (as all true literature should do), and disaster recovery (books as sandbags?)

The GOP "Big Beautiful" budget achieved its goal: tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk. How did they afford it? By slashing benefits, gutting social programs, and raising taxes on the working class. Call (202) 224-3121 to tell your Rep this bill is bullshit.
