I appreciate all of the great coverage of the fucky indictments of Tish James and Jim Comey, but I'd really appreciate if those speaking on the matter would verbally distinguish between their names better, e.g. "Mr. Comey and AG James." My AuDHD struggles w/ one's first name being the other's last.

I'm one of the people who will not be receiving my usual SNAP Food Stamps Benefits for the upcoming month of November 2025, and Massachusetts just confirmed today that they will not be paying even a partial amount to those of us who are state residents either.
![Screenshot of a text message alert from the Massachusetts (MA) Department Of Transitional Assistance's (DTA) Centralized Office, which administers the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Food Stamps Benefits Program, timestamped received on 1:35pm EST on Monday, October 27th, 2025, which states the following:
"[DTAMSG]: President Trump is currently choosing to not issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table. You also may have your benefits further cut starting in November because of changes Congressional Republicans and President Trump enacted in the "One Big Beautiful Bill".

Ugh. State is still stalling on my X gender passport with name update. Just called and received confirmation they've had everything they needed from me for more than a month, despite having paid expedited processing fees for a travel date that was before they even asked for info they already had. 🤬

I'm not opposed in principle. Today, some of the most revolutionary technologies we've funded with public dollars vanish into patent trolls' and incumbent market leaders' portfolios rather than entering the market when their initial developers fail to sustainably penetrate the market.

I've been anticipating an orderly shutdown since the budget proposal came out. The proposed budget barely covers the mortgage for most offices.
NEW: NSF will be kicked out of their building. Announcement will be made tomorrow by HUD Sec. and Governor of VA. HUD will take over the NSF building over the next two years.
NSF staffer: "There is no planning for NSF, no identified future location, appropriation for a new building or a move."
