I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

This is an enforced disappearance: “‘they wouldn’t give us information about when my son would be released or where he was,’ Avalos said at a press conference on Wednesday.
Avalos said she still had not been able to speak to her son to find out where he is being held.”

In the 61 year history of SNAP, the program has never missed payments — until now, because of Donald Trump.
Trump could send out SNAP benefits today. Multiple judges have ordered him to, and the government has the money. But he’s still refusing.
Fully fund SNAP now.
