On the pod we each give a little background about why we chose the name we did, but very briefly:
- Meadowlarks was Joan Payson’s original name choice for the team that would become the Mets
- Queens for the best borough and queer roots in women’s baseball
- Excelsior for the NY state motto

The Trump admin fucking up state administrative capacity to provide SNAP benefits is not just a feature of the shutdown. This is their long-term plan to reduce SNAP.

Soon, GOP will start talking block grants due to administrative complexity they created.
