Taking food benefits away from people so elon musk can have a tax cut. This is vile.

The Ag Committee's part of the Reconciliation Bill raises the SNAP work requirement age for able-bodied adults without dependents from 54 to 64. It also changes the definition of "dependent child" from under 18 years to under 7 years old to determine "Able-bodied adult without dependents."

Sec. 10002. Able Bodied Adults Without Dependents Work Requirements.
Subsection (a) of section 10002 amends the exceptions listed for able bodied adults without
dependents (ABAWD) in Section 6(o)(3) of the Food and Nutrition Act to the SNAP work
requirement. Specifically, this section would increase the age with which ABAWDs must
continue working to qualify for SNAP to 64 (up from 54 currently); it changes the generic,
functional definition of “dependent child” for ABAWD purposes from under 18 years of age to
under 7; and it carves out an exception to the work requirements for a person responsible for a
child 7 years of age or older who is married and resides with an individual who complies with
the SNAP work requirements

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State.

H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

Foreign aid isn’t just charity. It’s power.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.

And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

The USDA announced that a second strain of bird flu, identified as D1.1, has been detected in dairy cows for the first time. Previously found only in wild birds and poultry, this marks the strain's recent spread to cattle. Nevada confirmed its first human case of bird flu in a dairy farm worker.
