Sen. Van Hollen: Donald Trump and Russell Vought are now threatening to end the food and nutrition benefits – this is the SNAP benefits – in just a few days, which will make 42M Americans including 16M kids hungry. The thing that every American needs to understand is they are doing this deliberately

Wow! It’s not even close. Food banks can’t keep up with the need…

Question: “How long is this sustainable.”

Food bank director: “It’s not… for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

Lying POS
More than 170 US citizens have been held by immigration agents. They've been kicked, dragged and detained for days.

42,755 out of 59,762—or 71.5% held in ICE detention have no criminal conviction. Many of those convicted committed only minor offenses, including traffic violations.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

The reason 42 million Americans are on SNAP is because employers aren’t paying living wages.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Opinion | The White House is holding SNAP funding hostage. That's cruel – and illegal.

Nobody has ever questioned that contingency funds could pay for SNAP benefits in government shutdowns.

Sen. Warren: So I think of it this way. Donald Trump is sitting around dreaming about eating his well-done steaks with ketchup, in a fancy new ballroom he has had encrusted with gold, while billionaire donors flatter him. And meanwhile, families, seniors, and veterans lose their healthcare.

Nope.
Habeas corpus protects

guarantees we can go to
court to review our

Sen. Warren: Right now, as we are talking, and tomorrow and on Saturday, people everywhere in America are getting letters, getting their email notices that say, here's what your healthcare premiums are gonna be like for next year. And they’re not looking at numbers that are up, they are up, up, up.

Swear her in. Release the Epstein Files.

The image from Courier Newsroom headline reads: “Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is now the longest Rep-elect in history to not be sworn in. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear in Rep-elect Grijalva over fear of releasing the Epstein files.”
The picture shows Grijalva in a red jacket beside Speaker Mike Johnson.
