 So you and your party can't come up with all the money but you got half now....

And millions of poor families suffer because they depended on your president.

Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me

You seem to be falling again Deacon.....

You know better....

For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me".

Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me

Just to be clear these cuts are to jobs and workers. See the recipient of snap benefits gets food stamps and money for woman and children struggling.

This is on a card. The card is good to purchase approved items pay for rent copays non food food this money goes to the provider to pay for product and service. 

The client gets the product the provider gets the work order... Or receive the rent to pay the mortgage.

The program releases 8 billion into local American economy every month. This money pays a lot of people wages from the ma and pa convience store to the large food chain distribution centers and is a vital part of the American economy and the safety net provided here to the citizens of the most wealthy of the world.

Taking this service away is cruel and unusual punishment.

Update on women with children and poor individuals.

The Trump administration says it will restart SNAP food benefits but it will pay out only half the amount people normally get.

The administration says it will use money from an Agriculture Department contingency fund. The $5 billion in that fund falls well short of the full cost of SNAP benefits — $8 billion — each month. In a court filing, officials said depleting that fund means "no funds will remain for new SNAP applicants certified in November, disaster assistance, or as a cushion against the potential catastrophic consequences of shutting down SNAP entirely."

The decision comes after two federal judges ruled that freezing payments for the country's biggest anti-hunger program is unlawful, even as the money ran out this weekend for the 42 million people who rely on SNAP to put food on the table. The government's response is part of the case in Rhode Island.

You can expect half of food stamps,afdc,wic ECT...and the distribution to the cards will be delayed....

So how Christmas look, Marshall Law?

Nuclear option is when the Senate can act with 50 senators to end debate and move to a vote ....

But In the world of sound bites is now delivery of message.... 

Republicans stole Thanksgiving doest look good in the midterm election....

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday that President Donald Trump wants to hear from the courts about how to legally move money around to fund SNAP payments, but he noted during an interview on CNN's "State of the Union" that it "could" flow by Wednesday.

Snap benefits will resume on Wednesday 

Maybe the deep state wears both pant suits....

Cause bro this gonna be bad and even Ray Charles can see the PTSD of the responding officer in this.... nightmare.

So JD Vance can't explain it to his boss the consequences of the aftermath of this event ?

Now maybe I am misunderstanding, the Republican party has control of the house the Senate and president.... And the courts Kevin conservative...

So you wanna take away Thanksgiving and Christmas from the poor...... In Appalachia where JD Vance has roots and a cemetery plot he spoke of as he campaigns....

Can your party with all the gavels and positions of powers in the federal level of figure it out so stores get paid and recipients get DINNER!!!!!

This is the environment.

Millions of Americans will be denied Thanksgiving dinner at the checkouts across America.

Snap benefits won't be released regardless of what two so called judges said.

So massive amount of negative energy will be released. A taxing of local police rescouses responding to domestic violence concerns will escalate through poor communities across Appalachia.

A need for intervention and deployment of deputies homeland security to create order in the chaos. 

Further studies domestic violence primary cause financial insecurity, hunger malnutrition ECT ECT...

So your party wants to steal Thanksgiving dinner from millions of poor American families...doesn't look good...what you all planning for Christmas.

Update on snap benefits.

From appropriations committee member chelie pingree...

??SOME GOOD NEWS! ??

TWO federal judges have ruled that the Trump Administration must continue paying SNAP benefits during the shutdown.
 
These rulings make clear what we’ve known all along: the Administration CAN and MUST act to ensure November benefits go out by tapping the contingency fund Congress already set aside for emergencies.
 
This *DOESN’T* necessarily mean SNAP benefits will be available immediately. With this Administration, who knows how long it will take (or if they’ll even follow the order).
 
But for the 42 million people who rely on SNAP—including 170,000 here in Maine—this is undoubtedly hopeful news.
 
RELEASE THE FUNDS!

Looks Trump and his party want to take millions of poor Americans families thanksgiving dinner away ..... 

Additional coverage of the Trump food crisis and his cruel policies aimed at punishing the poor....

Donor list for 300 million dollar gold ball room in white house.

Republican Senate comitee attack ad...

Looks like the Republican leadership is already in panic mode.....

This is the narrative they portrait of Mills.

Democratic narrative.

Keep Mills working  for Maine people 

I like this one.

I am not saying Collins was bad at the federal level, she worked nearly 40 years in public service for Maine , state legislative first then Senate.

She has been monumental in bringing federal funds for infrastructure,schools roads and bridges. Navy contracts for bath iron works , her moderate bi partisan approach has made her a lion now in the Senate.

Hope she run for governor. 

Very simple sound bites, every one deserves a home of their own.

Keep Maine working vote for Mills 

I believe and will defend a woman's right to choose, for her to have prenatal care, and her children have the right to eat in public schools.

I believe in safe neighborhood, a strong police support for every community in Maine.

Before I was Governor I was the attorney general of Maine.

I believe in the right not to be bullied in school on line or in life.

Maine has no place for domestic violence.

Our nation is a nation of laws....

Yes there are many issues where both candidates align in their opinions, they are both older white females from the same state. Both politicians both had long careers in public service, both candidates align on support for infrastructure,jobs unemployment and both will do whatever it takes to make Maine a better place to be 

When the kavanugh vote went down a group of lobbyist said then and there for someone to be accused of such a violent crime against women in college became the flag of who do you support she came up with the argument that after looking over the evidence and that was that he did this and that what he didn't she felt she must side that he is presumed innocent in an act of a gang rape victim and confirmed his appointment. They said they were coming for her seat.

When kavanugh broke his words he gave Congress and sided with the majority to over turn roe vs Wade she said she was disappointed....

This was the division between the two candidates.

After that pretty much everything else aligns with their centered values, .... 

Republican Senate comitee has started to spend money on the race in Maine, launching an attack ad against Governor Mills stating she supported illegal immigrants to get health care. 

The deceiving ad didn't mention was this was for pregnant women and children under 21 while assylum paperwork was processed.

So giving unborn prenatal support and helping children is obviously what the Republican platform has no room to support?

I see that supporting health care, poor people with snap benefits the homeless schools jobs the economy and infrastructure are not Republican priority......

This will be a watched election coverage during mid terms as a toss up for control of the Senate.
