In a not so shocking story, if you're looking for SNAP benefits, you might have to go somewhere else for your nickels, but if you're a rich Senator and want a cool $500K in your wallet, look no further than the United States Government, because they have you covered. Next, new information has been released by House Democrats regarding President Trump's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, but there is still hope in the Congress after an congresswoman-elect from Arizona will FINALLY be sworn in. Andra Watkins is a New York Times Best Selling Author and creator of For Such A Time As This on Substack. She is the survivor of a White Christian Nationalist Community and discusses how the tenets she was taught (aka indoctrinated) apply to the policies coming out of the Trump administration.
