Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

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
