Lot going on and been gone a few days.
I'll post a few highlights tonight

Kind of sad Cuomo tarnishing legacy with desperate attacks on Mamdani that are racist and Islamophobic.
Appears Cuomo desperate to have power which looks like all he's in it for. Some say he only ran because of ladies made allegations and families of people that died in nursing homes that blame him.
 After podcast comments referring to 9/11 the other day
 On air today on MSNBC said
  Diversity is sometimes our weakness. That didn't go over well. As he tried to explain and clean it up it never really helped.
  Record voting.

 By most polling it appears Mamdani will win by double digits Tuesday.

Big case in Supreme Court Wednesday.
Oral arguments in case does Trump have the power to do tariffs the way he has relying on a law and saying emergency because I say so.
By clear text of law passed by Congress he doesn't not that he can't try to using other laws which would require more time and justification.

Despite saying last month he might attend now Trump says he will not attend the arguments saying doesn't want anything to distract from importance of case but he would make speech somewhere that day. I'm guessing issue be mentioned.

You thought Trump resolved everything in Gaza War right.
We have seen I think 11 hostage remains not turned over yet.
Some that were returned were not matches of hostages. Possible Hamas doesn't even know. I'm not sure but lot of destruction in Gaza, rubble etc.
Possible quite possible foot dragging.
  Beyond that issue though

 Qatar trying to keep Israel-Hamas ceasefire from falling apart, prime minister says
"We work together very closely with them in order to make sure that the ceasefire stay intact," he said.
Updated: 11/02/2025 01:34 PM EST

Qatar’s prime minister said in an interview that aired Sunday that violations of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire are occurring constantly but that his country continues to work to keep the agreement from collapsing.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani, who is also Qatar’s foreign minister, told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria: “The violations are happening every day. And we have, like we have in the de-confliction room, the operation room that we did together with Egypt and the United States. We register everything over there. ... We work together very closely with them in order to make sure that the ceasefire stay intact.”

I posted this on old thread but looks like new thread now. Maybe that is why I was getting strange message about board being off limits. Things not sure about on board right now but hope will be okay.

Important to current huge issue so repost that much

Of the people on SNAP food stamp benefits:

39% are children

20% are elderly

10% are disabled.

President Trump has to noon Monday today to tell court how going to issue full or partial food stamps.
 For 42 million Americans on SNAP benefits. Already days into November with people not getting monthly allotment.
  2 courts ruled against him. Both clearly saying to extent can use contingency funds Congress authorized be used for situations like this though never happened related to shutdown before this being longest full shutdown in history and now day 34 with 35 being record for partial shutdown.

So when Trump says looks at how can help and asking court how to do it remember this the court told him to tell them how he was going to comply with ruling.

Neither court bought nonsense that gee there's no appropriation for it I'd like to help but I can't. No he's trying to put pressure on Democrats to cave in to him. Saying mostly Democrats on food stamps. Really?
I beg to disagree. A heck of lot of his red states get heck of lot of food stamp benefits people often voted for him. Remember he was going to bring down prices starting on Day 1.

Also when he says by law he can't use it since his claim it's not appropriated remember this He himself has for other things under saw law found money to fund appropriations in instances where he wanted to-WIC and for military.

You better believe 2026 premiums for health insurance are going up a lot in Affordable Care Act ACA policies. Whether or not you have subsidies.
I live in Kentucky.

The plan I have this year for same plan next year the premium went up 180% which would be 14% of my total income. A lot of people aren't going to be able to afford and will lose coverage.
 When I say premium it was actually amount I owe per month not total cost of policy which went up from over $1,300 month to over $1,700 month. I still have subsidy under original law it even went up but less than cost of plan went up

Under expanded subsidies cost was capped at 8.5% of your total income. So not tied to dollars.
When I'd see a claim somebody making $500,000 year got subsidy I guess they were paying $42,500 premiums in policy because that's 8.5%
I've never seen that plan.
