If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.
A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.
I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

Article from today's Guardian: President Trump commenting on George Santos.
“He lied like hell,” Trump said of his fellow Republican to Newsmax. “But he was 100% for Trump.”
Remove the word "for" and this statement is entirely accurate.

The “No Kings” rallies were “dignified, irreverent, driven by old-fashioned love of country,” George Packer argues. “If anything can rouse the stupefied mainstream in time to stop the collapse of everything good about America, it’s a spectacle like this.”
Why the No Kings Protest Moved Me
The protesters’ depth of feeling was matched only by the modesty and decency of the event.

In seminary 40 years ago I was fascinated with Latin America's liberation theology. It seemed to be a theological perspective that didn't quite fit in a United States context. With the authoritarian rule of DJT and the suffering of the poor in our country it has become a theology for our time.

With government services frozen and federal workers told to stay home, the ultimate symbol of political disconnect is now a construction site: a wrecking crew is actively demolishing parts of the historic East Wing to make way for President Trump's multi-million dollar ballroom.

Maybe it is time when the "right" screams Marxist and Woke, we ask them if they meant to say Christian. Now I hope that my Catholic siblings will take the next big step -women priests.

MAGA melts down over ‘WOKE MARXIST POPE’ who is a ‘Never Trumper liberal’
Laura Loomer lamented that the new pope ‘is anti-Trump, anti-MAGA, pro-open Borders, and a total Marxist like Pope Francis,’ adding that it’s ‘GROSS’ that he now leads the Catholic Church

The new Pope wrote in an article in the National Catholic Reporter “JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn’t ask us to rank our love for others." Glad he'll be living in Rome or the administration might try to deport him.
