USDA Pushes Forward Despite Truth Social Posts

Federal court rulings have forced the USDA to move ahead with partial SNAP payments, even after social media posts from the head of this administration claimed the funds would be withheld. Roughly six billion dollars in reserve funds were ordered to be released, with 4.65 billion now being distributed to provide about half of November’s usual benefits. While the USDA has confirmed compliance and instructed states to ready their systems, payment delays are still expected across the country. States like Ohio are stepping in to help fill the gap, allocating twenty-five million dollars in emergency relief to food banks and struggling families. Though relief is moving slower than hoped, the effort shows that critical aid is still on its way despite political interference.

War Without Congress: The Rise of Executive Power

This episode examines growing concerns over the expansion of presidential military authority after the President publicly suggested he could launch military action in Venezuela without approval from Congress. The Constitution gives Congress the sole power to declare war, but this move signals a shift toward unilateral executive control. If left unchecked, it could permanently weaken congressional oversight and allow future presidents to use military force without accountability, changing the balance of power in the United States.
