Retired couple (teacher & union carpenter) on ACA premiums skyrocketing — from $443/month to $2,224/month: “It's like buying another house and trying to pay for two houses at the same time… without the subsidy we honestly don’t know what we’re gonna do.” #TrumpShutdown

"[Not using the funding already allocated to keep SNAP going] is a decision the president is making--on his own--to allow people to go hungry."

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

For every one meal a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides 9. Food banks cannot bridge the gap if SNAP benefits aren’t available.

A pregnant woman was shocked to realize her sonogram resembled her dog's face. Inês Egner went in for her 20-week anatomy scan and left with a photo that looked exactly like her dog, Goulash. She said, "In truth, we do like to jokingly refer to the dog as our son." 14/10 (TT: inesverse)

a black and white sonogram of a human baby at 20 weeks. it looks oddly like a dog with two black eyes, a snoot, and a little grin.

a close up of a tan dog with a black snoot and golden brown eyes. he's so close we can see the whiskers on his lip and the grooves in his nose. he looks above the camera with a slightly bewildered expression. the resemblance to the sonogram truly is uncanny.

Thanks. I prefer a slow build and a psychological element. I'm a big fan of Shirley Jackson and M.R. James.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

GOP Jesus would pray a lot and walk away. Actual Jesus would tell the GOP leaders a camel would have an easier time passing through the eye of a needle than they have of getting into heaven. Then Jesus would feed the children.

No war is holy. No border wall is Christian. No leader is above God's call to peace.

Pope Leo spent the entire day lambasting our political leaders: “We must ensure that this period of history, marked by war and the arrogance of power, soon comes to an end.

“Enough!”

Pope Leo: “War Is Never Holy” — Leaders Must Tear Down Walls and End Violence

Pope Leo is done watching self-described Christian leaders praise God with one breath and glorify cruelty with the next.

The Devils Hole Pupfish. With only a population of about 260, it's the rarest fish on the planet that we know of. It only exists in Devils Hole, Death Valley.

I helped lead the fight to raise the minimum wage in Minnesota - and index it to inflation.

I'm going to do the same damn thing in the US Senate.

Just a reminder that many animal shelters also have a “pet food pantry” for people in need. And many food pantries will also accept pet food donations.
Some people may now need to redirect pet-food funds towards their own needs or choose to go hungry in order to ensure their pets do not.
