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!

We can’t have SNAP recipients stealing the bread from the mouths of those poor starving billionaires. They’re the ones who really work the hardest and need government handouts the most!
The government finally reopens to a tsunami of applications that need to be processed by a decimated staff.
This is deliberate. It’s punitive. It’s like MAGA draws energy from human suffering, especially from their own people.
Darkseid is taking notes.
Does the USDA plan to process applications for the estimated 41.7 MILLION people who recieve SNAP benefits at once, after they all reapply at the same time? And they think that not only can they do that, but that they can do it with greater scrutiny than the first time they applied when their wasn't a manufactured overload of work?
Sure. They’ll print out each application and they’ll fall straight into a shredder. “After careful consideration, we have elected not to accept your application.” emails will be sent immediately upon application submission.
Oh no, not immediately. You'll have to wait a few months to get that result.
Don't the states handle this in the first place?
There is absolutely a problem.
The problem is not fraud by the applicants.
The problem is that we allow corporations to pay so fucking little that you can be full-time employed and still need food stamps to feed your kid.
The problem is that rent is up, groceries are up, everything is more expensive, the cost of living is through the roof and a full-time minimum wage income in most places won't even support a single person on a starvation diet.
Making 47 million people fill out another stupid form will not fix this.
The fuck?
Checked earlier, conservative communities are celebrating this.
Now requiring a Mnimum income over $100,000?
