#Trump’s #megabill may force your local grocery store to close
By Nathaniel Meyersohn
July 28, 2025Excerpt: "Wright’s Market has been a fixture of Opelika, Alabama, a town of around 30,000 near Auburn University, since the 1970s. The supermarket relies on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (#SNAP) for roughly one-third of sales.
"SNAP is a 'big piece of what we do,' said owner Jimmy Wright, who has worked at the store since he was 12 and bought it almost 30 years ago. 'We see very hardworking people who are using this program to try to feed their families and pay rent.'
" 'SNAP, formerly known as #FoodStamps, is the largest #AntiHunger program in America. Recipients receive, on average, about $6.16 a day, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
"But President Trump’s #OneBigBeautifulBill Act makes the largest cuts to food stamps in the program’s 86-year history, jeopardizing assistance for more than 42 million people. It also imperils the program’s role as an economic anchor for grocery stores and communities, particularly in #rural areas, according to #grocers and economists."

Trump never fails to humiliate Trump. 👀
Donald Trump has been accused of “blatant and vile #antisemitism at a rally in Iowa.
The president delivered a campaign-style speech during the America250 event at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines on Thursday. As #Trump promised that his #Megabill would usher in a period of prosperity, the president railed against “Shylocks” and “bad people,” before taking a swipe at the Democrats who uniformly opposed the legislation.

#US Senate strikes #AI regulation ban from #Trump #megabill
https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/us-senate-strikes-ai-regulation-ban-trump-megabill-2025-07-01/The Republican-led U.S. Senate voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to remove a 10-year federal moratorium on state regulation of artificial intelligence from President Trump's sweeping tax-cut and spending bill.
Major AI companies, including Alphabet's #Google (GOOGL.O), opens new tab and OpenAI, have expressed support for Congress taking AI regulation out of the hands of states to free innovation from a panoply of differing requirements. -
🎺 And the bromance from hell is officially over. Now who broke up with who?
President #Trump on Thursday said he was surprised that his former adviser Elon Musk is scorching the Republican #megabill advancing most of Trump's biggest domestic policy priorities, but said he thought #Musk was wrong and conflicted in his criticism.
"Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
