Thinking a lot about humanity, anti-hunger policy, the Overton window, and what I'm going to eat next.
Was Wonderwall next?

We’re minding the shop while you take care of yourself. At least the best we can in this bonkers banana pants world.

still a mess but the CR included full year appropriations for USDA so should *should* be solid footing through October 2026.

But still a waste of time and energy for them to prepare their systems for partial payments in November 2026 if somehow we’re back here

And FWIW that memo is like 5 memos ago. This week has been a decade, my friend.

They had a piggy bank that like a petulant child they refused to use. Finally they were told the had to use it. But it only had enough for partial payments. Court told them there were other piggy banks and they were even more petulant.

now that fed tov is open they are paying it all

Double apology!

Nor should you accept it without an explanation and an apology!

Thank you Senator. If your colleagues were going to compromise with little to show for it they should’ve done it before we put food insecure households through hell. That damage is done so now I wish Dems would fight to make it worthwhile.

It’s a good day to make noise for the federal and state governments to do more.

…and donate cash to food banks!
