Just days before 42 million Americans lose access to federal SNAP food benefits, Senate Majority Leader John Thun has blocked a Democratic bill to fund both SNAP and WICK, which is the lifeline for women and children and infants. Republican Senator Josh Holly has introduced a similar, more limited bill to fund SNAP until the end of the shutdown. But that bill doesn't cover WIC and it does not reimburse states for costs incurred while there is a gap in funding.Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says Democr ...

I'm here in Kungju, South Korea with the president on his trip to Asia. And we're witnessing a really interesting Trump tactic in the works. The president is quite literally threatening tariffs in order to not just broker money deals, but broker peace deals.It's like his own game he's learned of international deal making. Move the goalpost so that he can notch a win on his own terms. Sometimes creating the goalposts out of thin air.For example, in his apex speech, Trump said that he threatened cutting off t ...

Trump's DHS caught manipulating videos to create the false impression that there are violent hotspots in the certain places that they want to deploy. The Washington Post reporting on this problem. They've been busted, including the government.Remember, this is your government. They are answerable to you. This is still a country we have here.And they're using your tax dollars to try to mislead or lie to you about where they're putting troops and what the reasons are. So, they have this sort of gust up footag ...

That is because of an apparent violation of the law by the Trump administration. The federal government currently has roughly $5 billion in a SNAP contingency fund.It's there for emergencies and some argue required to be used in emergencies like this one. The Trump administration is not allowing those funds to be used because they want to turn up what Mike Johnson has called t ...

Okay, guys. We have some bombshells involving the Biden Justice Department's investigations of Donald Trump. You've heard Trump and his allies say that the Democrats weaponized the Justice Department to charge Trump with federal crimes.The theory was they wanted him in jail so he couldn't become president. But we know today that that's not only not true. In fact, the opposite happened.These new revelations are coming from a book by my colleague Carol Lenick. Carol reports that acting out of a mix of princip ...

When states spend their own money under our bill, >> under the Democratic bill, >> the Democratic bill, which we invite Republicans to join, it should be bipartisan. We would reimburse states for taxpayer money that's spent to feed kids and families and also the Wick program, which as you know deals with younger children and moms. But I think the important point here, Michael, is neither of these bills should be necessary.>> The administration has the authority and the funds to do it on their own. And the r ...

Good evening from New York. I'm Chris Hayes. For years, MAGA has been selling Donald Trump as a political colossus, an inevitable force of nature who cannot be beaten.But everywhere around us, we are seeing evidence that that's not really true. And part of the reason that is happening is because Americans are seeing up close the damage, feeling the pain. People are opposing ICE agents, raiding their neighbors, going out in the streets with with whistles.They're getting notices that their health premiums are ...

Donald Trump's Justice Department has put two prosecutors on leave for describing Janu January 6th accurately.

We are here in Oxford, Mississippi. It is cold. It is wet. It is rainy.Despite that, thousands of young individuals, young conservative individuals, have been gathered here on campus for hours waiting to hear from JD Vance, who's going to speak at this Turning Point event. Now, Turning Point, started by Charlie Kirk, really Trump has credited this organization with helping him win the election, mobilizing thousands of young conservatives out to the polls to help elect Donald Trump in 2024. Ever since the tr ...

I mean, it's insane even for the history of the modern border patrol because these tactics that they're using and I'll say, you know, I always say I'm from a border community. I'm familiar with this with this force and I've worked at the Department of Homeland Security. I understand their mission set. This is so far outside of their mission set.And what I want people to understand is this agency has been resistant to training and reform. I'm not surprised that Bo has not been used to using a body cam. There ...
