@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social: "This is a president who ran on cheaper groceries who's now spending $300 million to remodel a White House ballroom-- the same amount of money that could give SNAP benefits to 100,000 New Yorkers."

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

SNAP is a little bit of an odd program — too flexible to really be “nutrition assistance” but much less flexible than cash — but it’s a vital boost to poor families’ living standards and there’s lots of evidence that its benefits far exceed the costs.

Trump turned off critical food assistance for millions

SNAP is good; killing it is bad.

This will help.

It will also sharpen Red and Blue state differences, with many Blue states declaring emergencies and covering some of the gap, and Red states, like Florida, telling their working poor to suck it up.

As usual, Trump causes the most pain to those who trust and support him.

ICE...in its current form...is not a "law enforcement agency" that should exist in any country on earth. Everything about the way they are operating is light-years away from being consistent with what this country is about. We have seen evidence that many of the people employed by ICE are bad news.

Personally I think it’d be newsworthy if the President were a deranged psychopath. I’m not a big newspaper editor but if I saw evidence of this every day as we do now I might put someone on that story.
