Another shameless lie.

Trump’s own lawyers at USDA posted (then deleted) the guidance below that SNAP continues during a shutdown.

Can someone ask him to explain why he disagrees with Trump’s own lawyers?

I'm not really into the "constitutional crisis" discourse but if this is the thing you were waiting for, it's here.

Next: which media outlets will report that the President is violating two court orders that the government must immediately distribute SNAP benefits—and which will go with euphemisms.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

This is the President openly announcing that he will violate court orders - two courts had concluded that the Trump regime withholding SNAP funding was illegal - and that the government had to pay out (at least reduced) SNAP benefits starting this week

DJT truth social - SNAP benefits .. will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up govt

If you are willing to defy court orders to starve 42 million Americans, you have lost your humanity.

Trump needs to follow the law and fully fund SNAP benefits.

Donald Trump Truth Social Post on SNAP: SNAP benefits, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Biden’s disastrous term in office (Due to the fact that they were haphazardly “handed” to anyone for the asking, as opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP!), will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT

A yearlong investigation by The Frontier and ProPublica reveals that the Oklahoma Corporation Commission did not mandate that responsible companies clean up the pollution belowground, as state law requires “when feasible.”

Toxic wastewater from oil fields keeps pouring out of the ground. Oklahoma regulators failed to stop it.

Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, is spewing from old wells. Experts warn of a pollution crisis spreading underground and threatening Oklahoma’s drin...

If the sandwich stayed whole, the defense meets its goal

Dave Jamieson @jamieson.bsky.social · 3h

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

We’re in a strange limbo where secret police are routinely beating, disappearing, and shooting everyday people in public, but they’ve not yet consolidated enough power to stop us from talking about it on social media. That imbalance prob can’t last. Either we roll them back or this gets rolled up .

Not everyone starts with a lot of options, especially if they don't want to be homeless and hungry, might not be relevant to all the performers, but easier to understand than why so many in US couldn't be bothered to vote to avoid all of this 🤠

Louisiana — the red state that Mike Johnson nominally represents — has the second highest percentage of residents enrolled in SNAP in the nation.

They’re pushing this fantasy about these being “Democrat programs” used only in blue states but that’s a PR fantasy divorced from reality.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 23h

Mike Johnson: "These blue states have abused the SNAP program just like they've abused Medicaid and so many other government programs."
