The simplest reason why the Trump administration is cutting off SNAP, despite adequate reserves, is that they hate the program and don't care about the people who depend upon it.
They are breaking the law not to provide SNAP while also enforcing the "equal treatment rules" to hurt SNAP users.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

They had orders to seize all the gold in the Gold Room and are confused. No one wants to tell the President.

The right sets the terms of our political discourse in so many ways, one of which is the idea that there isn't enough "debate" and "free speech" on campus.
We need to push back on this. The truth is (speaking for myself as a history prof), I don't really emphasize debate much in my classes/

Willing to bet a very large amount that most of that 413% rise in “assaults” on ICE agents represent unarmed people attacking ICE fists with their faces and boots with their kidneys.
Because these people are lying scum.

Yes. This is the fundamental point. (WSJ ed page already weighed in for privatization.)
Republicans still blame Obama for the Great Recession too.
Just remember, it's all a smoke screen. The goal is to privatize air traffic control -- just like it has been for 40 years. (Since Reagan/Thatcher.)

Van Hollen says that he asked the VP of El Salvador why his government continues to hold Abrego Garcia even though he’s not charged with any crime and there’s no evidence that he’s MS-13.
“His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT”

Consumerism is the foundation of modern American society. Cheap goods is the only thing keeping the folks from going totally feral. Healthcare, housing, and education have become completely unaffordable, but at least that big screen is only $200. Take that away, and it'll be Paris 1789 here.
