Trump's USDA is ordering grocery stores to follow a federal rule outlawing them from giving discounts to SNAP recipients whose benefits are currently frozen illegally.

So Trump's happy to finally follow the law as long as long as he can inflict pain and cruelty? Got it.

AI data centers are popping up in regulation-friendly conservative states (like Texas). The same states that are going after abortion, birth control, and porn.

It'd be tragic to tell those same people that the AI down the street is making porn, and using your town's electricity and water to do it.

How do you pop the #AI bubble? Easy

AI data centers are popping up in regulation-friendly conservative states (like Texas). The same states that are going after abortion, birth control, and porn.

Now we can tell those same people that the AI down the street is making porn.

They'd rather shut the whole country down than confirm the Congresswoman that would release the Epstein Files.

Because they worship a pedophile.

Trump is illegally withholding SNAP payments even though it has money — it has nothing to do with the shutdown.

“Just pass the CR then” misses the point. Once he’s decided to illegally withhold benefits even though there’s funding, he could do that when the government is open too.

Specifically they are laying off corporate jobs to replace with AI. Literally killing the middle class. Because with unregulated automation there are only wealthy owners and cheap laborers.

Interviewer: “How long is this sustainable?”

Food Bank Director: “Wow, um, it’s not—it won’t be from the first day. For every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides 9… It’s not sustainable for food banks to fill this gap. We were not built to do this.“

This is absolutely tragic.

There is no niche for CBS rightwing news. You ostracize the Democrats, and MAGA already has Fox, OAN, and NewsMax.

May your decision to join the Christian Nationalist propaganda reward you with scorn and scabies.

So surprising that after the check has been cashed the name of the donor comes out. Almost like that was an inevitability, and a desired outcome, so that the military knows who to be loyal to.

Maybe, guys, this shouldn't be allowed...

Mystery solved. Trump backer Timothy Mellon has been identified as the donor who provided $130 million to cover U.S. troop pay during the government shutdown.
