I think a lot of the anger this morning stems from a feeling that we did our part, but they did not do theirs. This is an oversimplification, but my dudes, no wonder people are like, “OK, let’s try the democratic socialist, then.”

I voted no tonight.
But the next phase of Democrats’ health care affordability fight is starting.
While I personally don’t believe Republicans will keep their promise to work with us on lowering health care costs, I would be thrilled to be wrong.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Six of my kid’s friends left for college or other adventures this year. Our street is very quiet. But this morning I heard my kid on the phone, talking with three of them in three zones across the planet. Evidently there is a daily group call. I love this so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I change what I’m saying about whether/when we’ll see SNAP on the cards twice a day lately, but sometimes twice an hour. I guess just keep checking.
New guidance from USDA says they will administer full SNAP benefits.
However, less than 45 minutes ago, the Attorney General tweeted about asking for a stay on the order forcing full benefits.
Seems weird to send this guidance if they’re hoping for a stay by 4pm.

Zohran Mamdani won this week in New York, and I want to say a few things about what I've learned from watching his campaign. 1. He is a brilliant communicator. 2. He builds community. 3. He won with more than a million votes! That hasn't happened since the '60s. He has a mandate! 1/ buff.ly/KpE1is2

They have the discretionary funds to fully fund snap. A RI court told them they had to use the SNAP funds set aside for this purpose (partially funding) but could also use a larger pot of discretionary funds. Once again, the feds are choosing to do the least possible.
BREAKING: The Trump administration says SNAP will be partially funded after judges’ rulings required the food aid program to continue.

Wow the cruelty knows no bounds. Also, student discounts, older shopper discounts, etc. call it a low-income discount for folks on any income based program, not just SNAP, and done.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Friday, 2 judges ordered the Trump admin to use emergency funds available to pay SNAP benefits in November. The funds will not be available to people this weekend. Stay tuned. The Trump admin could also decide to appeal because they don't seem to want people to have food?
