We cut the eggs in half so that it stretches. We used to give out a whole dozen of eggs. Now we cut the dozens in half so they each get a half a dozen. We're in Georgia, where Jennifer Deal has been operating this food pantry for more than a decade. Now, for the first time, she's running out of food.
Walz, quote-posting a screenshot of the Trump Truth Social post, told the president: Release the MRI results. The president's post, which triggered Walz's sharp reply, claimed hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota, and alleged that Somali gangs were roving the streets looking for prey. The segue on Somalians and Minnesota came in the wake of Wednesday's shooting of two National Guard members by an Afghan national.

Trump praised Specialist Sarah B., 20, as a "highly respected, young, magnificent person." The other Guard member, identified as Staff Sergeant Andrew W., 24, was "fighting for his life. He's in very bad shape," Trump said as he addressed the US troops to mark the Thanksgiving holiday.
The survey by Unison of almost 3,000 support staff including teaching assistants, caterers and cleaners found that three in five reported having fewer colleagues than a year ago, with just six per cent saying numbers have increased. More than three-quarters surveyed said there were not enough workers to meet pupils' needs, with a similar number warning that reduced staffing made it harder to keep pupils safe.
The Trump administration has cut nearly a billion dollars in food aid, creating a scarcity crisis at food banks across the country. We traveled to Georgia to observe how a decades-old emergency food system supported by the U.S.D.A. is being eroded by government spending cuts. We cut the eggs in half so that it stretches. We used to give out a whole dozen of eggs. Now we cut the dozens in half so they each get a half a dozen.
The collapse of the indictments of James Comey and Letitia James speak to the rot at the heart of the Trump administration. Lindsey Halligan, predictably, was found to be appointed illegally after her predecessor was driven out of office after rightly concluding that the cases did not have legal merit. The Senate never confirmed Halligan, and her interim appointment couldn't be indefinite as a matter of law.
You really are the backbone of America's airpower, and in recent weeks, you've been working to deter Venezuelan drug traffickers, of which there are many, Trump said in a Thanksgiving holiday video address to US forces.

It was you who made those words come true. It was the faith that you had placed in me and the latitude that you had given that enabled me to shatter the marble ceiling and be the first woman speaker of the House," Pelosi said, adding, "San Francisco, know your power. We have made history. We have made progress. We have always led the way,
➡️ The Trump administration is not planning to observe World AIDS Day this year, breaking with both Republican and Democratic presidents since 1988. Plus, a new study shows that funding cuts could lead to millions of additional HIV infections by 2030. Meanwhile, Democrats and advocacy groups are accusing the Justice Department of ignoring hate crimes, and a Florida driver was arrested after allegedly trying to run over a LGBTQ+ running group.
Trump ally Laura Loomer sparked a wave of condemnation on Wednesday night after she posted on social media that she wants a king. Following the horrific shooting of two National Guard troops near the White House on Wednesday afternoon, Loomer wrote, That's it. I want a King. Loomer, a former two-time GOP congressional candidate, has long been closely aligned with President Donald Trump and, in his second term, has taken it upon herself to unmask Trump officials she views as insufficiently loyal to MAGA.
Despite recent wins by individual Democratic candidates in elections that focused on the issue of affordability, the Democratic Party is still in trouble. And it's not just the current state of Republican control of the White House and Congress, but also a supermajority of conservatives on the Supreme Court, seemingly hellbent on overturning hard-fought liberties and the Constitution itself. While the Republicans, led by President Trump, are outright denying that prices from food to healthcare continue to rise,
