NAPS..

New work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are set to go into effect on Feb. 1 and it could mean that millions of Americans lose their benefits.

Nearly 42 million Americans, including low-income families and vulnerable households, rely on the federal program to help pay for groceries or other household essentials.

According to August 2025 estimates from the Congressional Budget Office, about 1.1 million people will lose SNAP benefits between 2025 and 2034, including 800,000 able-bodied adults through age 64 who don't live with dependents and 300,000 parents or caregivers up to age 64 with children aged 14 and older.

Additionally, exemptions were changed for parents or other family members with responsibility for a dependent under 18 years old, lowering the age of exemptions to those caring for children under 14 years old.

Comment:

Some are taking advantage of the system for years in the mean time creating dependable of millions on the minimum given.   This program holds people back, destroy their ambition and keep them in a suspended state of poverty, Yesterday, today and tomorrow. 

Future..

 

New projections of the 2030 U.S. Census indicating a major shift of electoral votes from traditionally blue states to red states could be a "game changer" in the quadrennial battle between Democrats and Republicans for the presidency.

Left-leaning California, New York, and Illinois could lose a total of eight congressional seats due to sweeping population shifts this decade, with right-tilting Texas and Florida gaining eight seats, according to an analysis by the non-partisan Redistrict Network

The findings, which are based on 2025 Census Bureau population estimates and data from previous years, were compiled by Carnegie Mellon University redistricting expert Dr. Jonathan Cervas and released on Tuesday.

Another projection, from the Republican-aligned American Redistricting Project, indicates Texas gaining four seats and Florida gaining two.

The projections spell trouble for Democrats when it comes to the battle for the House majority next decade, after reapportionment based on the 2030 Census. But it would also be a major setback for them starting in the 2032 presidential election, because states' electoral votes are based in part on the number of their congressional seats.    Just a thought.

Nooooooo

Scary ..

 

Go for it.

Legendary Democratic strategist David Axelrod warned Democrats against pushing for ICE to be abolished in their campaigns on Thursday.

Axelrod joined CNN’s Boris Sanchez and Brianna Keilar on air amid calls from some Democrats to abolish ICE following the deaths of 37-year-old protesters Renee Good and Alex Pretti during altercations with federal agents in Minneapolis this month.

Axelrod warned that campaigning to abolish ICE will not be a winning campaign message for Democrats, arguing most Americans believe in some sort of “immigration enforcement in the country.” 

He argued a movement to abolish ICE could end up like defund the police calls in 2020, with the public not supporting the “implication” of such an extreme move.

I think that people believe you should come to the country legally, and if you don’t, you know, there should some penalty for that. They do believe that. But I don’t think they want to abolish ICE. Well, you know the problem that we’ve seen before when people said abolish the police.
