Congress has provided a contingency plan for SNAP to keep the program going for years in case of a shut down. The USDA sneakily took the plan down. Now blue states are suing to continue benefits for their constituents.
Where is the money going?

Why do I get the feeling he wants to test them in blue states?
A long-deranged and deeply depraved man with a pronouncedly and acceleratingly deteriorating mind announces that he intends to play with the large arsenal of nuclear weapons he controls.

But it's okay, because he's not seeking a third term.
Fun! Haven’t heard of him. I was reading Tim Lehaye (Left Behind series) and CS Lewis. When I wasn’t programming calculators or fixing the family computer, anyway.
Braving Cryptonomicon again?
But do they speak them rhythmically?

Ruben Gallego may accept a "promise" from republicans to keep healthcare. Call him today:
"Thank you for standing strong with Senator Kelly against the Republican agenda. Please hold the line on the shutdown until we have a binding agreement to keep healthcare for Americans!"

IDK. I don’t use them. There were too many spammy accounts that only pushed their own starter packs and it left a bad taste for me.

I suppose they helped at acct creation to find likeminded ppl to follow, but I get the same effect looking at who others are following.

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.
I flew today and had no problem getting through. Everything was moving as expected at PHX.
Was anyone really expecting TSA to show up and not get paid?
The Empire and First Order claimed to be making the galaxy “safe,” too. Does that justify their actions?

Oh. I think it was the Ingraham Angle. I don’t have access to today’s show and can’t find the clip.
I saw on Fox “News” (don’t ask) a “reporter” showing old train tracks near Portland ICE facility and claimed the site “looks like a 3rd world country.” Also says people must be being paid to be there.

If I can find the clip, I’ll post a link.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.
