Trump Actively Fighting Against Feeding American In Need

No.1455559 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Abandoning all pretense of wanting to help Americans in need or being forced to cut funding to food programs by law, Donald Trump has gone mask off and has taken the audacious step of actively working to prevent Americans from receiving SNAP benefits in defiance of a court order mandating the program be funded in full.
This occurs after Donald Trump's record breaking government shutdown (having broken his previous record) drags into it's 38th day

BOSTON (AP) — President Donald Trump ’s administration asked a federal appeals court Friday to block a judge’s order that it distribute November’s full monthly SNAP food benefits amid a U.S. government shutdown, even as at least some states said they were moving quickly to get the money to people.

The judge gave the Trump administration until Friday to make the payments through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. But the administration asked the appeals court to suspend any court orders requiring it to spend more money than is available in a contingency fund, and instead allow it to continue with planned partial SNAP payments for the month.

The court filing came even as the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in a memo to states that it’s working to make funds available Friday for full monthly SNAP benefits.

California and Wisconsin said some SNAP recipients already received their full November payments overnight on Thursday.

“Food benefits are now beginning to flow back to California families,” Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement. A spokesperson for Democratic Gov. Tony Evers of Wisconsin also confirmed that full SNAP payments had gone through.

Trump DOJ Lets Boeing Off Hook For Killing 346 People

A federal judge on Thursday granted a Justice Department request to dismiss a felony case against Boeing tied to two passenger jet crashes that killed 346 people in Indonesia and Ethiopia.

Judge Reed O’Connor of the Northern District of Texas OK’d the DOJ’s motion to dismiss the case. The Trump administration sought the dismissal after it struck a non-prosecution agreement in May with the aerospace company — less than a year after the plane-maker had agreed to plead guilty as part of a deal with the Biden administration. The charge was conspiracy to defraud the government.

Some victims’ families had opposed the move to drop the case, but O’Connor, a President George W. Bush appointee, in a 10-page order Thursday granted the motion because the government “has not acted with bad faith, has given more than mere conclusory reasons for its dismissal, and has satisfied its obligations” under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act.

US job layoffs worst for October in 22 years

https://www.reuters.com/business/world-at-work/layoffs-us-october-surge-two-decade-high-challenger-data-shows-2025-11-06/
U.S.-based employers cut more than 150,000 jobs in October, marking the biggest reduction for the month in more than 20 years, a report by Challenger, Gray & Christmas said on Thursday as industries adopt AI-driven changes and intensify cost cuts.

Tech firms led the job cuts in the private sector, followed by retailers and the services sector, the global outplacement company said.

Cost-cutting was the top reason for the layoffs in October, followed by artificial intelligence, while "DOGE Impact" was the leading reason for job cuts in 2025.

The layoffs in October surged 175% from a year ago to 153,074. From the start of the year to October end, employers have announced 1,099,500 job cuts, a 65% rise from 664,839 in the same time period last year.

So far this year, job cuts are at the highest level since 2020 when 2,304,755 cuts were announced through October.

"Some industries are correcting after the hiring boom of the pandemic, but this comes as AI adoption, softening consumer and corporate spending, and rising costs drive belt-tightening and hiring freezes," said Andy Challenger, chief revenue officer for Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

Not only did individual companies announce large layoffs in October, but a higher number of companies announced job cut plans, Challenger said, tracking nearly 450 individual job cut plans in October compared to under 400 in September.

Any economic data from private sources will be on investors' radar as official data continues to be absent with the U.S. government now entering its longest-ever shutdown.

Republican Terrorists Want Americans to Starve. Dem Gov Says "No."

No.1452627 View ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
It's a tale as old as it is preventable. While Republican incompetence and indifference threatens the lives and livelihoods of American citizens, it falls to Democrats to step in and protect the people.
As Republicans continue to hold the nation hostage with a government shutdown on track to cross the one month mark and the President Trump remains focused entirely on his new ballroom in between cognition tests, Democrat governors are working overtime to pick up the slack.

>The federal government shutdown entered its 27th day Monday, leaving hundreds of thousands of federal workers without pay — and threatening to cut off food assistance for thousands of Minnesotans by the start of November.

>In response, Gov. Tim Walz announced $4 million in emergency state funding to support food shelves across Minnesota. The one-time funding aims to fill the gap as federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, benefits are set to end if the shutdown continues.

>"This is meant to be a bridge," Walz said during a news conference at the Open Door Pantry in Eagan, Minnesota. "It will not make up and backfill everything that is going to drop off starting on Saturday."

>The funds will come from the Department of Human Services' emergency services account and the Family First Prevention Services Act. The state will distribute the money through Minnesota's existing food shelf network. Each food shelf and tribal nation will receive a base amount of $5,000, and additional funding based on local need.

>More than 440,000 Minnesotans rely on SNAP, according to state data. Of those, 38% are children and 18% are seniors. Walz said about 9 million visits were made to food shelves statewide last year.

Advocates Warn of ‘Forced Labor’ Camp for Homeless People in Utah Designed to Enforce Trump Order

https://www.commondreams.org/news/utah-homeless-internment-camp

In an effort to fulfill President Donald Trump’s executive order on homelessness, Utah is building a massive facility that housing advocates warn will function as an “internment camp” where the unhoused will be subject to forced labor.

Last month, Utah’s homeless services agencies came to an agreement for the state to acquire a nearly 16-acre parcel of rural land in the Northpoint area of northwest Salt Lake City to construct the first-of-its-kind facility, which is slated to have 1,300 beds.

The genesis of the project began in July, following Trump’s “Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets” executive order, which threatened to withhold funding from states and cities unless they criminalized homeless people camping on streets and ordered the attorney general to expand the use of involuntary civil commitment for adults experiencing homelessness.

Despite a large body of evidence showing their effectiveness at curbing crime while keeping people off the street, the order also required the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to end its support of “Housing First” policies that provide unhoused people with homes without the requirement of behavioral health treatment or sobriety.

Less than a week after Trump’s homelessness order, Utah’s Republican Gov. Spencer Cox, as well as the state Senate president and House speaker—both Republicans—sent a letter to the state’s Homeless Services Board, which was created last year following a legislative push by the Cicero Insitute—a far-right think tank that has proposed aggressive measures to criminalize homelessness and which has had major influence over Trump’s crackdown on the homeless during his second term.

Brit continues their censorship: Porn with strangling or suffocation will be banned

Online porn showing choking to be made illegal, government says

Online pornography showing strangulation or suffocation is to be made illegal, as part of government plans to tackle violence against women and girls.

It follows a review which found depictions of choking were "rife" on mainstream porn sites and had helped normalise the act among young people.

Both the possession and publication of such material will be a criminal offence, under amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill currently going through Parliament.

Online platforms would also be required to proactively detect and remove such material or face enforcement action via media regulator Ofcom.

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) said the change would make choking in pornography a "priority offence" under the Online Safety Act, putting it on the same level as child sexual abuse material and terrorism content.

Technology Secretary Liz Kendall said: "Viewing and sharing this kind of material online is not only deeply distressing, it is vile and dangerous. Those who post or promote such content are contributing to a culture of violence and abuse that has no place in our society.

Conservative peer Baroness Bertin warned earlier this year that there has been a "total absence of government scrutiny" of the pornography industry.

the coping continues

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/mike-johnson-says-americans-side-195746811.html

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) went on a tirade against the media and Democrats after being confronted with an uncomfortable poll Monday revealing which political party Americans blame for the long-running government shutdown.

Johnson appeared on Fox News’ “The Will Cain Show” to further blame Democrats for the shutdown, spurred by an impasse over Affordable Care Act subsidies set to expire at the end of the year.

He accused blue states of abusing government programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which Cain described as a “political football.”

The host went on to show Johnson an NBC poll that revealed 52% of voters blame President Donald Trump and Republicans for the shutdown, while 42% blame Democrats. He asked Johnson, “Why would the polls look like that when you are clearly voting to continue to fund the government [and] Democrats are not voting to continue to fund the government?”

“Well, for one thing, the polls are all over the place,” Johnson said. “I mean, CNN was reporting just on Friday of last week that Republicans were winning this as if it was some sort of political game. The only people who lose here are the American people.”

Trump, who usurped Congress’ spending power and made a shutdown deal nearly impossible, told CBS’s Norah O’Donnell in a “60 Minutes” interview that aired Sunday he “won’t be extorted” by Democrats demanding to negotiate extending ACA subsidies.

He further blamed Democrats for the shutdown Tuesday on Truth Social, stating that he won’t give out even partial SNAP benefits until the party agrees to reopen the government. (His press secretary later said the benefits would be sent out.)

U.S. debt hits $38.1 trillion as interest costs jump past Medicare and defense

America’s red ink is piling up at a historic pace. As of Oct. 31, the national debt stood at $38,108,930,250,279 — up about $30.4 billion in a single day and far beyond the roughly $907 billion level four decades ago. Interest payments have already overtaken Medicare and the defense budget, turning borrowing costs into one of Washington’s biggest bills.
