Trump administration says SNAP will be partially funded in November

Trump administration says SNAP will be partially funded in November

President Donald Trump’s administration said Monday that it will partially fund SNAP after two judges issued rulings requiring it to keep the nation's largest food aid program running.

Years of SNAP funding exist RIGHT NOW, paid for by our taxes.

Federal language protected SNAP even during shutdowns – Trump's admin DELETED it to hide the fact they're using hunger as a political weapon by choice. = Mallory McMorrow

A senior Justice Department official has told Congress that the Trump administration can continue lethal military strikes on alleged drug traffickers without congressional approval and that the administration is not bound by a decades-old war powers law, two congressional sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

Apparently. Americans Expect Political Violence and Justify It

An unsettling new poll from Politico on Monday showed a majority of Americans expect a political candidate will be assassinated in the next five years — and just as alarmingly, a large slice of the American public said they believe political violence is justified.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom: I will not raise my children to think Donald Trump is an acceptable American leader. He is a con artist, a predator, a malignant narcissist, and the worst president in our nation's history.

Gavin Newsom Declares Joe Biden ‘One of the Most Successful Presidents in the Last Century’

...NEWSOM: It’s a revolution that’s going on in this country, and I think you have to start using those words. He’s attacking every single institution of independent thinking, and he’s succeeding because we’re still playing by the old set of rules. And so, my party needs to focus, first and foremost, on recognizing that; and then we’ll reconcile, being more culturally normal, more reform-oriented, talk about service and patriotism, and we’ll continue to build on the legacy — I would argue — of our former president who I think was one of the most successful presidents in the last century, and that is Joe Biden, and I will defend that to my grave.

Hurricane Melissa

  I might have gotten 2 hours sleep last night. Bands of the hurricane lightly battered us throughout yesterday but last night around 9pm I thought the sky was falling on my little casita`s metal roof. It went on for hours. I was scared. Many places flooded less than a mile away, including Taco`s veterinarian's office.

   I went to Facebook during this horror and saw so many nearby villages flooded.

  Our dead end street is on a slight slant and it looked like a river last night and my yard looked like a lake. We are on the edge of a ranch and the water flowed down to their grazing land which is now a lake...see video below.

  My heart breaks for Jamaica. I fear the worst.

  The video below was taken from the balcony, next door, this morning.

I am non compos mentis after last night. I will post a new edition tomorrow.

Peace and quiet.
