"The Trump administration had argued that the USDA cannot use its $6 billion contingency fund to pay for benefits during the shutdown because Congress did not approve the money, adding that even partial reimbursement would be catastrophic."
WHAT A LOAD!! Congressional approval suddenly a priority?
Federal judge gives USDA deadline to agree to authorize SNAP amid shutdown
The action comes two days after states sued the federal agency that administers SNAP benefits. Funds were set to stop flowing Saturday.

SNAP UPDATE: I just ordered some food, etc for Walmart delivery. Had a few $$ left on my EBT card. Thought I'd see if it would take it for payment. IT DID! IT ACCEPTED EBT FOR PAYMENT. If you had a balance left from Oct, try to use it if you can!
I've had dogs in my life for over 50 yrs. Today is the first time they ignored the time change. ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜‚

โ€œIf you canโ€™t get a vote on your record, donโ€™t play us against each other.โ€

Iโ€™m grateful for the Rev. Sharptonโ€™s powerful words of unity this morning and against the cynical politics of fear and division.

Kamala Harris ~ โ€œWe refuse to kneel at the foot of a tyrantโ€ฆWe believe in the Constitution. We believe in the power of the vote. And we are prepared, when necessary, to fight fire with fire.โ€

โ€œAnd part of what Iโ€™m here to say today is other states need to step up too.โ€

I'm slowly switching over to solar gens. Have reduced my electric usage about 40% and have the peace of mind knowing if the power goes out, I'm still ok.
The underlying fundamental economics have changed dramatically: solar is now so cheap that businesses and households all around the world install it often without subsidies. Throw in batteries and the business case just keeps improving.

ICE has beaten, detained & arrested 170 citizens, at least 3 of whom were pregnant

George Retes is a US veteran who was held in solitary for 3 days

Kristi Noem says itโ€™s not happening, but @motherjones.com has done the reporting

If they treat citizens this way, imagine what they do to immigrants
More than 170 US citizens have been held by immigration agents
ProPublica uncovered that Americans have been kicked, dragged, and detained for days.

I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.

On this day 225 years ago, John Adams moved into the still-not-quite-complete White House, becoming the first president to occupy it. His blessing was carved into the State Dining Room mantel in 1945: "May none but Honest and Wise Men ever rule under This Roof.โ€

Cool that renewables have become the cheapest source of energy in the world just as a bunch of reactionary-centrist US pundits have taken up the right-wing "climate vs. cheap energy" framing.

A lot of food is still good after the date. I think there is a distinction between selling and donating out dated food. But don't quote me. ๐Ÿ˜

Wayyyy too much to ask of this corporate America but I would love to see companies adopt and announce People Who Were Members of ICE past a certain date will not be considered for jobs
I found her tolerable, almost nice at times. I think it's all for moving up the ladder though.
