SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.
Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.
Don’t forget this.

“For Noem — and Trump, and Miller, and Hegseth, and Patel — the brutality is a made-for-tv movie. It’s entertainment. And they get off on the raw, naked will to power. The law be damned. They love this. They are proud of this. And they will keep doing it.”

But there are more of us now, and the circle is widening still
In the back and the forth, it's like we're holding a trust
Like we know that we count, like something's counting on us"

After 26 hours of fighting on the Senate floor, Republicans voted to rip health care from millions of people and let little babies go hungry. And they cheered.
I'm angry. You should be too. But this fight isn't over.

One of my favorites from 2024, sounding a bit like something from the 70s. It feels like it draws some inspiration from early solo George Harrison (i.e. Isn't It a Pity).

Nice to see this song was given a full treatment at the Brit Awards. Epic production for one of the best pop songs that came out of the UK in 2024 (though as with a lot of UK music never really broke out to an American audience).

If a Republican congressman starts saying he isn't going to "throw granny off a cliff", then you probably better make sure granny (and Medicaid) is safe.

You can choose between Trump is lying about Musk having said that, Musk lying when he said it, or Musk being dumber than his harshest critics claim.
Trump: "I did ask Elon because he knows more about computers than anybody I know. I said, what do you think of the voting system? He said, computers are not meant for voting. It's too many transactions taking place too quickly."
