But anti-hunger experts & food-stamp recipients say that doesn't reflect what they are seeing, such as a job market where many are struggling to find work while coping w/higher food costs"

It should alarm us that the civilian head of the military gathers together troops to give them a political speech in which he calls the free press treasonous. He should be removed from office for doing so.

The White House is bragging about reducing immigration (including refugees) from Muslim-majority countries to near 0. The U.S. is a nation of 340 million or so people. It was letting in just 18,000 people or less per month from these same countries prior to Jan 2025. Obvious anti-Muslim bigotry.

In case you were wondering where the america.gov AI chatbot stood on the matter: "Who won the 2020 presidential election?" "Joseph R. Biden Jr. won the 2020 U.S. presidential election."

Who won the 2020 presidential election?

Joseph R. Biden Jr. won the 2020 U.S. presidential election.

The National Archives records 306 electoral votes for Biden and 232 for Donald J. Trump (270 needed to win).
Official FEC results list Biden with 81,268,924 popular votes (about 51.31%).
