Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Trump administration must fund SNAP payments during the shutdown, judges rule

Two federal judges ruled nearly simultaneously on Friday that President Donald Trump’s administration must continue to fund SNAP, the nation’s biggest food aid program, using contingency funds during the government shutdown.

It wasn’t immediately clear how quickly the debit cards that beneficiaries use to buy groceries could be reloaded after the ruling. That process often takes one to two weeks.

What do you think WE should do about it?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Vote in 2026, flip the House, get a 67 Seat Democratic majority in the Senate, impeach him a 3rd time and actually remove him this time, followed by his mandated jail time on his felony convictions.

[–] tornavish@lemmy.cafe 11 points 3 months ago (2 children)

You do know that none of that is going to happen, right?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well the question was "what do you think we should do about it", that's what I think we should do. 😉

[–] tornavish@lemmy.cafe 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

OK, fine. What do you think is likely to happen? And, when that likely thing happens… What do you think we should do about it then?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Most likely event is Trump dies from a stroke before anything meaningful can happen. Then we vote out J.D. Vance in 2028.

vance is currently allegedly wooing ERIKA kirk to be his potential first lady, since she unlike usha who is aethist, she is a good "trad wife"

[–] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Trump's mother died at 88, and his father died at 93. I don't think Trump (who's 79) is in as poor of health as people have been speculating. I'd be genuinely surprised if he had a major stroke anytime soon.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

hes only really overweight, possibly pre-diabetic, doubtful he has any serious symptoms. although he might have circulatory problems. trump is also a extreme germaphobe so he mostly goes the doctor the instant has any "disease", rather than blow it off.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Plus, anyone who slurs their words as much as Trump does is 3/4's out the door anyway.

@tornavish@lemmy.cafe @snausagesinablanket@lemmy.world All I know at this point is the orange man isn't gonna be there, or so he says.

@tornavish@lemmy.cafe I meant in office— I saw an NPR article claming (I say claiming, beacuse we already know he gonna try to subvert the rules when he knows his stance will corrode his ego) that he would not run for another term.

[–] tornavish@lemmy.cafe 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

We all know he’s going to stay in office

@tornavish@lemmy.cafe if he stays with his stance that he's gonna not run in 2028.

[–] tornavish@lemmy.cafe 3 points 3 months ago

He said he was. Then he said he wasn’t. Then he said he was. You new to US politics?

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

Dream on. That's using the badly, maybe irretrievably, broken system to fix itself.

Any effective solution will have to be outside the system.

Don't forget letters to the editor of your local paper.

You know who actually reads those?

Elderly people who ACTUALLY READ AND VOTE

i dont think many senate seats are up for grabs, its the house seats. until '28 there will be more senate seats in trouble. hence why some of the DNC are so confidant in supporting the Israel genocide of gaza, thier seats are safe.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

33 seats up for election in 2026:

Ordinarily I'd say most of these are safe, but if the No Kings can draw out enough people? Maybe?
