It's hard to argue you care about the working class while you're fighting to not fund SNAP payments. It's hard to argue Democrats are to blame for the shutdown when your party controls all of Congress. It's hard to argue prices are coming down everywhere when they're obviously going up for coffee, orange juice, ground beef, energy and housing.

President Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" is handing out billions in tax breaks, and a new analysis from Senator Elizabeth Warren's (D-MA) office is demonstrating just how substantial those sums are. Under the law, Google's parent company, Alphabet, will save around $17.9 billion in taxes this year, an amount that Warren's office found could've paid for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for 7.5 million Americans.

President Donald Trump rattled off some false claims to dismiss the idea that Americans are paying more at the grocery store. The president hosted several Central Asian leaders in the East Room of the White House on Thursday night, where he took questions from reporters. At one point, Fox News White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asked the president for his reaction to a federal judge's ruling just hours earlier.

The goal of the program is to utilize the company's strong balance sheet to opportunistically offset a portion of the dilution related to the issuance of restricted stock units to employees as part of the overall compensation program designed to foster an ownership culture.

On October 30, Newsmax - the TV network for people who think Fox News is too liberal, basically - aired an AI-generated video purportedly showing a woman raging at a supermarket cashier, threatening to walk out with her haul of groceries without paying because "they cut her food stamps." The video is fake. And it's the same one that the actual Fox presented as genuine in an article it ran to drum up outrage over the perceived abuses of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program,

In Santa Clara County, more than 130,000 people receive support from CalFresh, Liccardo said - and food banks can't cover the gap on their own. He said it's unclear when SNAP benefits will restart, but even then, President Donald Trump's administration will only provide half of the benefits for November. As of Tuesday, Trump said he would not abide by the ruling of two federal judges to restart SNAP until the government reopens.
