Arresting Black journalists for covering a protest is a violation of the most basic principles of the 1st amendment. This administration is determined to deny not only the constitutional rights of its citizens and residents, but the human rights of all who oppose its racist agenda.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

Committee leaders say they’re not on board with reducing benefits, despite demands for deep cuts from far-right lawmakers to balance tax cuts. But their proposals could still push hungry people out of the program, anti-hunger experts say. Read more from the Food Policy Tracker. ➡️ buff.ly/am97fzL
Republican Ag Leaders Push Back on Cutting SNAP

While addressing agriculture journalists on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, Republican leaders of the Senate and House Agriculture Committees said that despite their party’s directive to cut billions of dollars in spending, they are committed to keeping current benefit levels in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which 42 million Americans currently receive each month.

“We’re not gonna’ reduce the amount of money that individuals are getting right now,” said Senate Chair John Boozman (R-Arkansas).

“We’re not gonna’ be cutting benefits,” echoed House Chair G.T. Thompson (R-Pennsylvania). “We’re not gonna’ hurt people that are living in poverty, folks that quite frankly are struggling paycheck to paycheck that are really dependent upon this nutritional assistance.”
