The more I look into something like #Snap from Canonical, the less I like it. I am old school, but that isn't the reason. I understand the idea behind global type packages like #Flatpak, #AppImages, and even #Snap. I just hate the way Canonical has gone so heavy-handed on it, pirating apt cmds, and closed off the back-end. Just seems to be anti-FOSS. I no others disagree and that is fine. Just my personal take.

#RFKJr's agenda now echoes some of #FGA's key messages, & he has said states can expect approval of their waivers. Meanwhile, congressional leaders are eyeing nationwide #Medicaid cuts & #work requirements, which FGA considers among its major issues. The foundation also has a connection working inside the administration: Its former #policy director, Sam Adolphsen, was tapped to advise #Trump on #domestic matters.

Today's email is about restoring food assistance. Please copy and paste into the forms on the websites of your members of Congress and share with friends.

Dear Senator / Representative --

This Republican Administration is asking for $45 billion for immigration detention centers, $8 billion to hire thousands of immigration enforcement officers, and more than $14 billion for deportations while cutting more than a billion from food assistance to the poorest Americans.

During the budget reconciliation process, please be very loud about what the March cut of $500 million from the Emergency Food Assistance Program and the additional $500 million cut to the USDA Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program is doing to rural America.

Remind them that ICE does not need $45 billion. They can take a small cut to their proposed budget so that Americans don't go to bed hungry.

I know from first hand experience how important programs like Head Start, SNAP (food assistance), and LIHEAP (utility/energy bill assistance) are...

Funding for these programs is a fraction of the taxpayer dollars that go to military/defense contractors, yet they stabilize our communities and give families a chance to improve life for multiple generations...parents, kids, and grandchildren.
