Trump was a member of the Democratic party between 2001 and 2009. So will DoJ investigate him for that timeframe?

I'm on disability I'm turning 63 in December. I'm raising a 15-year-old grandson.
My food stamps in Aug were 247$ October went down to 147$ now for this month 105$.
I'm happy with what I get for my grandson and me but this is ridiculous.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

For @msmagazine.com, I wrote about the WNBA and the issue of pay equity. By the time the WNBA was only two seasons in (1999-2000) the average NBA salary was 58 times higher than the average WNBA salary. Twenty-six years later, the gap has jumped to 116 times higher.
