SNAP is back, but millions of Americans could lose benefits due to new restrictions
Just as SNAP benefits were reinstated for millions of Americans following the reopening of the federal government, many are now set to permanently lose them.

NEW: The White House intervened in a DHS investigation.

The target? Sex offender Andrew Tate.

The WH person? Paul “Nazi Streak” Ingrassia.

Who was previously also Tate’s lawyer.

A banger from @robert-faturechi.bsky.social & Avi Asher-Shapiro

I will not be buying any World Cup tickets or merchandise due to FIFA’s collaboration with the Trump regime.

Gianni Infantino has a dictator fetish. It’s grotesque.

The president has been warning host cities under Democratic control that he will call on Fifa’s president to switch venues if he deems there is a problem

Dallas has a republican mayor, so most of the matches will probably end up being held there I imagine.

FIFA's called the most corrupt sports league in the world for a reason. The #Krasnov regime here has been a beacon to criminals around the globe to no longer hide on the shadows, to perceive that evil is winning, and that villains should unite.

Aside from being corrupt and authoritarian as hell, this also seems like a colossally bad business decision by FIFA. The sorts of Americans most likely to be interested in World Cup soccer are definitely not the sort to be big Trump fans.

Trump calling a female reporter "Piggy" when asked about the Epstein files shows his raging misogyny, his increasing disinhibition, and his utter panic over the Epstein Files. And the failure of the elite media to hold him accountable for anything. Piggy is a parable.

Could argue the misogyny Summers expressed both publicly while president of Harvard and in emails to Epstein says more about the culture at our most elite institutions than any of the frontpage freakouts over academia in the past few years but hey

Chris Murphy on possible military strikes on Venezuela: "It's pretty clear it's just an effort to distract people from the rising prices and the Epstein scandal. No one wants a war with Venezuela ... and by the way, it's wildly illegal."

…and then the rest of the White House press corps pushed back against the president’s gratuitous insult aimed at one of their colleagues?

Oh wait! There’s no sign that anything like that happened!

Because access beats out solidarity, every day of the week.

Also… Trump’s “piggy” insult to the reporter was tweeted out Friday night by a CBS (former Bloomberg) reporter … but it seems to have gone largely under the radar til the People story.

As I wrote in September:

“The press will rarely defend their colleagues, no matter how often the White House gives them wedgies, shoves them into the janitor’s closet, or glues ‘KICK ME’ signs to their Spider-Man backpacks.”

My quote of the day

Child labor and poverty are inevitably bound together and if you continue to use the labor of children as the treatment for the social disease of poverty, you will have both poverty and child labor to the end of time.
