Before it runs out of funds, Ag department is releasing food stamp funds for February 10 days early. khn.org/news/pain-from… Risk is that families will exhaust their Feb funds long before March - when food stamps may not issue at all if shutdown continues ... (more)
... CBPP runs a useful website to track food stamp beneficiaries by state. Mitch McConnell's Kentucky is home to 655,000 of them, 1 in 7 of the state's population ... cbpp.org/research/food-… (more)
You may have wonder, how much will Sen McConnell really care about KY food stamp population? More than you may think. EG in KY 1 District, 86% of SNAP beneficiaries are white. Ditto in KY-2. In KY-4, 87% white. In KY-5, 97% SNAP beneficiaries are white fns-prod.azureedge.net/sites/default/…
Sorry, stray "have" before "wonder" in above tweet. I type too fast.
In today's @TheAtlantic , @mckaycoppins quotes a GOP staffer who is even more cynical about the politics of SNAP. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

This Buzzfeed business is a perfect example of how the requirement of criminal law blind us to the truths we most need to absorb and deal with ... 1/x
Through 2015-2016, Trump was seeking a giant payday from Putin at the exact same time he was running for president of the United States. Trump and his surrogates . repeatedly lied about this fact.
One of those lies about the Trump-Putin business relationship was told to Congress by Michael Cohen. BuzzFeed reported that it had seen evidence that Trump personally counseled this lie. That report has now been disputed by the Special Counsel Office.

I propose to take seriously the below Jerry Falwell Jr. statement as proposition in economics rather than theology ... uh oh, I'm going multi-part here people ... 1/n
Through much of the past 150 years of US economic history, the great majority of the wealth/jobs created in the US were created precisely by the purchasing power of the (relatively) poor.
Think: Wrigley chewing gum; Duke cigarettes; S.S. Kresge five and dime; Henry Ford Model T; Samuel Goldwyn and 25 cent movie tickets ...

Schiff:

👉🏼The collusion evolution, by RG:

📌There was no collusion.

📌Even if there was collusion, it‘s not a crime.

📌Truth isn’t truth.

📌It happened a long time ago.

📌I never said there was no collusion.

📌I said no collusion...with the POTUS

📌Oops!
🐝Buzzzz2🐝

📌Giuliani just contradicted nearly all the TeamTrump’s past collusion denials

📌This is the 10th time the denials have been watered down & might be the most significant rollback.

📌Cohen Hired IT RedFinch Solutions to Rig Early CNBC, Drudge Polls to Favor Trump

📌ZT:”Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom — the law firm that Paul Manafort hired as part of his work for Ukraine — has reached a settlement with DOJ, agreeing to register retroactively as a foreign agent & pay $4.6M (the money it earned for that work)”

Please share this - if you are a Food Stamp recipient, the #GovernmentShutdown is going to impact #SNAP benefits.

You won’t get Food Stamp benefits in February.

If you have a verification pending, you need to submit it by tomorrow, January 15th before noon.
Grocery stores are stocking up for the impact of #GovernmentShutdown on #EBT #SNAP Food Stamp.

This impacts so many disabled and elderly folks - please alert them. politico.com/story/2019/01/…
Millions of Americans rely on #SNAP / #EBT (Food Stamp) benefits, including CHILDREN. #GovernmentShutdown is dangerously risking the well-being of our most vulnerable. fns-prod.azureedge.net/sites/default/…

🔮Endgame🔮

📌Rosenstein expected to depart DOJ in coming weeks but plans to stay until Mueller submits a report & SC finishes his work.

📌Beware of the Ides of March.

📌Manafort intended for polling data to go to 2 Ukrainian oligarchs Serhiy Lyovochkin and Rinat Akhmetov
🔮Endgame2🔮.

The possibility Manafort wound up at the heart of the Trump campaign not despite his deep Kremlin connections, rather because of them, is an urgent matter & may hold the key to the entire mystery about the president’s secret relationship with Russia.
🔮Endgame3🔮

📌Serhiy Lyovochkin and Rinat Akhmetov had paid Manafort for years for his political work in UKR

📌Manafort’s passing of polling data to Kilimnik is highly disturbing, given SCO’s accusations re GRU’s role in weaponizing cyber-espionage against our 2016 election.

1/ A Mary Mayhew thread
The new deputy administrator at CMS overseeing the Medicaid and CHIP programs leaves behind her a trail of devastation in Maine from her tenure at Maine's Dept of Health and Human Services #mepolitics

2/
Mayhew bitterly opposed Medicaid expansion, in defiance of all the experts and members of the public health community. She even vowed to repeal the voter-approved law if elected governor #mepolitics
mecep.org/mary-mayhews-m…
3/
 But before that, Mayhew kicked 25,000 poor and near-poor Mainers off the state's existing Medicaid program #mepolitics

It's art up for review in opinions, of course I'm going to gravitate towards something shared with interest, when he didn't say a word for 2 days! Why was he there? #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
I went through every single video he released in hip hop to understand him not saying a word. Easy to work out, he's a very bitter man who has absorbed all his parents immigrant opinions at home #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
His parents are not middle class anywhere & neither is he #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
