The numbers don't lie. As a small scale female farmer in a high poverty rural community, I absolutely rely on customers using SNAP/EBT funds to purchase my products at the local farmers market.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

Booker: Do you think we got the right to vote for women because a bunch of men on the House floor got together and said “on the count of three, women get the right to vote..” That’s not how it happened… Change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes to Washington.

Trump aid freeze disrupts anti-narcotics program at Mexican ports
U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping foreign aid freeze has stalled a United Nations program in Mexico aimed at stopping imported fentanyl chemicals from reaching the country's drug cartels, according to eight people familiar with the situation. It’s one of several U.S. counternarcotics efforts in Mexico derailed in recent weeks by the stop-work order.

A historic graphic of corruption. The 11 federal agencies so far targeted for firings or dismantling by Elon Musk have more than 30 ongoing investigations into his companies. (📸 Malika Khurana for NYT)
The graphic shows arrows going from 11 general agencies and institutions to Musk companies which include SpaceX, Tesla. neuralink, x, and Musk himself.

The text at the top reads:
Trump firings hit agencies with oversight of Musk's companies
Staffing changes, including the firing of several top officials, have affected agencies with federal investigations into or regulatory battles with Elon Musk's companies.

My brother became a casualty of the new Trump policies. He had a good sized order for one of his products from a Canadian company... that today cancelled the order because they no longer do business with American companies. I'm sure there will be many more caught in this net.
