She/her/they. Banner is a pic of the sun from Teletubbies, but the face is not a baby. It’s a cranky-looking cat (possibly mid-sneeze).

This directly puts the ball in the Trump administration's court.

There's no longer a question of "can they issue SNAP benefits." They now **must** issue the payments.

So will they? And if so, how much?

These are now policy (and political) questions solely for the Trump administration.
‼️ On SNAP, very significant here:

A federal judge rules that the Trump admin is "required" to spend the $5.5 billion in contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits.

But there will still be a gap in benefits; she gave the admin until Nov. 3 to share if/how they will issue payments.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket
Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

A big thing about people who think like this is that they don’t realize: learning how to be happy for other people is a HUGE step in the direction of learning how to be happy for yourself.

The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.
Trump to the Navy: "We have to take care of this little gnat that's on our shoulder called the Democrats."

Matt, buddy, if you think traditional Catholicism is too ritualistic and pagan magic adjacent, may I introduce you to the Reformation.
Far-right Catholics freaking out about the Pope doing normal Pope things will always be entertaining.

The Pope blessed some water? Can you even imagine?

My dearest Martha, I send you all my love from this war-torn ravaged place, where our hardships surpass comprehension. Yesterday, a barista gave me a whole milk latte when I specifically ordered skim. Later, a young woman with strangely colored hair glanced at me disapprovingly.

BREAKING: Starbucks just announced a $1 billion restructuring and will close 59 unionized stores — nearly 10% of union locations.

It includes the Roastery in Seattle, one of its busiest shops.

CEO Brian Niccol made $100 million in four months last year.

ICE agents held a man’s five year old autistic daughter and taunted him with “Is that your daughter” in an attempt to get him to come out of the house.

They were rebuffed but two days later took him from his car.

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.
You have no idea how much I despite these anti-science dipshits for making pregnant women terrified of taking (safe, mild, proven) pain relief.

Now, before you can argue racism just isn’t something the broader public cares about, you’d have to contend with the popularity of the Floyd uprisings and Biden’s subsequent win. If your argument is that people were bored due to COVID, you’d have to explain the lack of support for COVID protesters.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

I am amazed at just how inept the Democrats’ congressional leadership is on this moment of crisis.

Trump is moving troops into blue cities and declaring war against the left, and these guys are complaining that the GOP Congress is pushing a partisan budget.

Jesus Christ, wake the hell up.
The Republican budget bill continues the attack on the healthcare of everyday Americans.

And is a dirty piece of legislation.
