I want you to know that I will *never* want that wagon wheel coffee table.
The last two weeks’ sermons have been exactly what I needed to hear. There’s so much awfulness in the world (and I repost a lot of it here), but we won’t quit the fight, and Jesus will bring us what we need.
I am so glad for Jesus.

It's difficult to sum up the abject chaos Trump has caused by using people's ability to eat as a bargaining chip. Communication re: SNAP varies widely state by state, and it's wonderful to hear some have gotten November benefits, but many, many millions still haven't. This was totally avoidable.

This is absolute BS.
My anec-data - and actual cost comparisons I’ve done on our regular groceries year-over-year - poke so many holes in his argument.
Also - which party controls the legislative and executive branches right now???

Q: Food prices are still going up. Grocery prices are still going up. How do you respond?
MIKE JOHNSON: All of the economist have shown that food prices always go up. There's an inflationary level that's built in to grocery prices.

Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that.
But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you don’t win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal.
You can’t negotiate with people like that.

Roughly 650,000 Missourians will not receive SNAP benefits in November due to the ongoing government shutdown.
Now, recipients are being encouraged to use local food resources and to try to stretch their October SNAP allotment into November if possible.

New in PN: No Kings was a huge success. Just look at Trump's response.

The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."
