(AP Photo/Allison Dinner, File) BOSTON (AP) — A federal judge on Friday sided with 20 Democratic states and halted an effort by the Trump administration to force states to comply with a range of conditions to get billions of dollars from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. U.S. District Judge Myong Joun granted a preliminary injunction in the lawsuit challenging the conditions for getting SNAP funding. Among them are restrictions related to "gender ideology," "immigration," and "fair athletic opportunities" for women and girls. The judge said he would issue a memorandum later explaining his decision. In their lawsuit, the states argued the Agriculture Department has ...

Turncoat Dem pays the price for giving Trump a big win

Image
  SHARED FOR INFORMATION AND EDUCATION ABOUT IMPORTANT ELECTION ISSUES! Hi, While Trump dismantles democracy map by map, Maryland was supposed to fight back. They had the bill. They had the votes. One Democrat stood in the way. Bill Ferguson, a 16-year incumbent and Maryland’s current Senate President, killed Maryland’s redistricting bill. That bill was set to deliver an additional Democrat to Washington. A Democrat that would replace one of Trump’s strongest allies in Congress, Andy Harris. Ferguson is part of a familiar pattern — the Democrat who had the power to fight and didn’t. In Maryland, Ferguson stalled reproductive rights legislation until public pressure made delay impossible. He blocked protections for immigrant families from Trump’s ICE — TWICE. He protected data center tax breaks while working families struggled with utility bills. After Ferguson stonewalled redistricting, Governor Wes Moore declined to endorse him. Ferguson’s inaction not only earned him the title “M...

Save horseshoe crabs from commercial killing

Image
                JOIN WITH OTHERS AND SPEAK OUT!               THIS MATTERS TO AN IMPERILED ECO-SYSTEM!     Hundreds of thousands of ancient horseshoe crabs are captured in Massachusetts waters each year. Once captured these living fossils are killed and used as bait to trap and kill other animals, or they’re drained of their blood for use in the biomedical industry. Their continued killing has decimated horseshoe crab populations, causing ripple effects throughout the coastal ecosystem. Horseshoe crabs support other imperiled species — including federally protected red knots, birds who rely on horseshoe crab eggs to fuel their epic migration from South America to the Arctic each spring. As horseshoe crab populations have plummeted, so have red knot numbers.  None of this harm needs to happen. Synthetic alternatives to horseshoe crab blood are widely available for biomedical use, and there...
