Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I got my SNAP today at about 4pm pst. I have a career and work full time, but I absolutely rely on the help because I'm a single father.
As a taxpayer, let me just say: I'm very happy you are able to get that funding for food! It is possibly the best use of our tax money to make those of us going through hard times able to get basic nutrition. Feel zero shame for using SNAP. Today its you that has the need. Tomorrow it could be me. We're in this together. I hope your future gets better and you won't need SNAP, but until then, please know that every penny you get for SNAP I'm happy that I had even a tiny part in helping you. Be safe, friend.
The world needs more you.
I’m sorry our government is failing you.
It is absurd that the court expects the government to feed hungry people instead of using their hunger as leverage to take away their healthcare
Evil.
The government is expected to do its job and take care of its citizens? Outrageous! Use emergency funds in place SPECIFICALLY FOR THE CURRENT SITUATION? OUTRAGEOUS!
Vice President Vance on Thursday pushed back on a federal court ruling...arguing the court should not be telling the president how to spend money during a government shutdown.
That's funny. According to the Constitution, the president has no authority to decide "how to spend money during a government shutdown". That's Congress's job. And they've already set aside money for this purpose. Trump is just refusing to do his job and execute the law, as directed by Congress and affirmed by the judiciary.
This is fucking treason.
“Do the bare minimum.”
“That’s an absurd demand!”

Congress gave you money to do a job, it's not a suggestion, dipshit.
It is absurd that the court has to order you to do what any decent human, especially someone professing to be a Christian, would do voluntarily, James.

42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
Matthew 25:42-45
Let them eat nothing!
It’s what his mentor wants him to say.
