  3. "Trump declared that he would not payout SNAP benefits, signaling that his administration will not release the funds as ordered. The move effectively blocks distribution of aid to millions of low-income households, seniors, and children across the country."

  4. "In a stunning escalation of the standoff over federal food aid, President Donald Trump announced that he will refuse to comply with a federal court order requiring his administration to release emergency funds for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), potentially cutting off food benefits to millions of Americans."

  5. "I’ve seen a lot of reports calling Donald tone deaf, but that is a way to let him off the hook. The choice to host that party is of a piece with the choice to build a $350 million ballroom after razing the East Week—it is intentional and a clear demonstration of Donald’s priorities."

  6. "Trump’s announcement caught members of his own team off guard, with four people with knowledge of the matter telling Politico they aren’t clear whether his post means that USDA now won’t abide by the court order."

  7. "President Donald Trump went rogue on Truth Social on Tuesday, contradicting his own administration’s decision a day earlier to fund SNAP benefits during the shutdown—and potentially violating a court order in the process."

  8. "It’s … an astonishing act of cruelty, especially as grocery prices are going up—Trump lied that they are stable in the 60 Minutes interview—hiring has slowed, and the nation is about to celebrate Thanksgiving."

  9. "The casual cruelty of limiting or cutting off SNAP isn’t just about budgets. It’s about power. It’s about who gets to eat, who gets to work, & who stays dependent. The White House’s refusal to fully extend funding for SNAP will disproportionately harm women and children, who make up the vast majority of SNAP recipients."

  10. "The administration’s position on SNAP shows its cruelty and sends a message that no one is safe from the administration’s heartless disregard of the law. ... Inhumane and cruel have become the watchwords of the Trump administration."

  11. "As a result of the shutdown, Donald Trump has threatened to cut off the food benefits for the first time in the program’s more than 60-year history. A federal judge last week prevented the Department of Agriculture from suspending Snap altogether."

  12. "The Trump administration said it would provide only partial relief to recipients of food stamps on Monday, amid mounting uncertainty among the nearly 42 million people on the supplemental nutrition assistance program (Snap). ...

    How did we get here?"

  13. "Trump and his minions can also shame and police poor people for buying soda, or getting their nails done, because, again, those are the perks of being wealthy.

    Power is entitlement—and part of entitlement is the sadistic pleasure of immiserating women, Black people, immigrants, the poor. As Adam Serwer says, the cruelty is the point."

  14. "Being rich is fun because you have lots of stuff. But an important part of the pleasure is not just enjoying what you have but enjoying what others do not have. Policing the purchases of the poor is part of the entitlement of the wealthy. Trump can have a gold plated bathroom because that’s the kind of thing he deserves."

  15. Not so, Krugman says. Trump knew exactly what he was doing:

    "The party at Mar a Lago wasn’t a case of tone deafness, living it up despite others’ suffering. It was in large part a party held to celebrate others’ suffering."

    For Trump and his followers, the cruelty always has been the point. It's what they celebrate:

  16. Paul Krugman notes that commentary on Trump's roaring twenties party hours before 42 million Americans lost food assistance as federal workers are going without pay says the party was "tone deaf." As if Trump really had no idea what he was communicating throwing the obscene gilded age shindig as people face hunger and no salaries.

  17. What was happening at Mar-a-Lago as 42 million Americans were about to lose their SNAP benefits? The U.S. president was hosting a "Great Gatsby"-themed Halloween party. Here's @people with the story.

    ✧ Clara Bow ✧

    Clara Bow (July 29, 1905 – September 27, 1965) was an American actress who rose to stardom during the silent film era of the 1920s and successfully made the transition to "talkies" in 1929. Her appearance in the 1927 film It brought her global fame and the nickname "It girl". Bow came to personify the Roaring Twenties and has been described as its leading sex symbol. S...

  20. It's #ZeldaFitzgerald's birthday! The author, artist, socialite & wife of #FScottFitzgerald was #BOTD in 1900!

    Her life was both glamorous & tragic. If you want to read her own works, a #biography or #biofiction, about her art or the #RoaringTwenties & #Flappers - we got it!

  21. I’ve created a new series titled Glamour Girls of the Twenties that showcases the flappers and glamorous ladies of the Roaring 20’s, also known as the Jazz Age. It was a decade of flappers, bootleggers, bathtub gin, raccoon coats, prosperity and good times. I hope you enjoy these ladies as much as I enjoyed creating them.
