certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

We went grocery shopping today. I needed to pick up some almond butter. The regular almond butter was 4.49 (Justin’s brand). If you wanted vanilla or chocolate almond butter is was 11.49.

Everyone really needs to know that SNAP benefits could absolutely get paid next week, and should get paid next week. The contingency money is there. It was congressionally authorized for this purpose. USDA said they would pay it. But Tr*mp called Brooke Rollins and told her not to.
Mark this down:
On Monday, Trump will announce that he "saved" the SNAP program and people will get their food stamps for November. Republicans will claim that Democrats wanted people to starve but Trump made sure it didn't happen. The media will go along with them.

Police from a town of 900 in Colorado accused a woman of theft. Based on their Flock cameras they told her, "you can’t get a breath of fresh air, in or out of that place, without us knowing, correct?" and reportedly told her the exact number of times her license plate had driven through that town.
Police used Flock cameras to accuse a Denver woman of package theft. She had her own evidence
"Like I said, nothing gets in or out of the town without us knowing."

Johnson's going to be in a fucking pickle if the GOP candidate wins the TN-7 special before the shutdown is over. (AZ not being the only place lacking representation at the moment).
🚨BREAKING: The State of Arizona filed a lawsuit accusing House Speaker Mike Johnson of violating the Constitution by refusing to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. The plaintiffs argue that Johnson’s delay has deprived hundreds of thousands of Arizonans of representation.

Meta was tired of getting dinged with fines from the data protection authority in Ireland, so it staffed the office with friendlies.
Big piece in POLITICO asking about the independence of Ireland's process of appointing people to its Data Protection Commission. There is deep unease in Brussels about Ireland appointing a former Meta lobbyist as Meta's watchdog. Now questions about who was involved.
