Trump got his wish to starve Americans. The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to temporarily withhold portions of SNAP payments for November. Huge thanks to the states and workers who rushed to process benefits before the ruling came down, not all heroes wear capes!

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Today officially makes this the longest government shutdown IN HISTORY.

Republicans control the White House, Senate, and House. This is their shutdown.

Day 24 of Emmanuel Garcia being in federal custody.

He’s a 15 year old autistic boy who went missing 4 weeks ago. Houston PD found him, contacted ICE & his Mom is fighting to get him back

She’s not allowed to visit him.

They’re keeping a disabled kid from his family & the media is largely silent

Reporters must stop accepting this. Options:

-Laughing at him. Long and hard (combine with others)
-"It's your job to be informed"
-"How can Americans take you seriously when you always claim ignorance?"
-"I've never heard a speaker claim ignorance so often"
-"Nancy Pelosi knew what was happening"
Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?

MIKE JOHNSON: I can't comment on any of those instances. I haven't seen or heard any of those videos

Trump wants to sell Nvidia’s Blackwell AI chips to please Xi Jinping. That’s absurd.

These chips will turbocharge China’s military weapons and surveillance systems.

That’s not “America First.”

It’s putting our national security at risk.

The decision came a day after the prosecutors requested a 27-month sentence for the man, who they said in court documents was among the “mob of rioters” that stormed the Capitol in an effort to overturn President Trump’s 2020 election loss.

The same article that notes that Vivek's net worth is 16k higher than the median income in Ohio also quotes him doubling down to a room full of Ohioans about his desire to eliminate teachers’ unions — stripping some of our most underpaid public employees of their right to collective bargaining.

TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME: The official Massachusetts SNAP website now warns that Trump is “choosing not to issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table.” It also warns of cuts due to “Congressional Republicans and President Trump” in the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

Mike Johnson is lying. Karoline Leavitt is lying. The Trump administration is lying. The money is there to pay for SNAP. They simply don’t want to.

Now if Argentina needs another 20B? That’s another question. Priorities, amirite?

Every mention of SNAP being frozen should include this simple fact:

TRUMP is CHOOSING TO CANCEL FOOD ASSISTANCE. There are literally emergency dollars available to keep SNAP funded.

The Trump admin’s USDA issued new guidance stating it will not use existing funds to cover SNAP benefits if the government shutdown extends beyond October 31. This move effectively threatens to withhold billions of dollars in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) contingency funding
