🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦Russian soldier posts video on the internet of a Ukrainian soldier that he has taken captive.

😰 Despite knowing what we know about the Russians, it seems this Ukrainian is taken care of (well enough).
He has even been given a cigarette. 🚬

🙏 We can only hope this Ukrainian soldier can make it home safe and sound

🇺🇸 November SNAP benefits are at risk from the government shutdown

As the nation's largest food safety net, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program helps 42 million low-income Americans afford groceries. While a pre-shutdown memo from the US Department of Agriculture says the program has enough in the bank to fully distribute this month's checks, a longer shutdown could mean beneficiaries could see smaller benefit amounts next month.

SNAP costs about $100 billion each year in federal funds to operate — which translates to monthly checks of roughly $25 to $1,700, depending on a household's income and number of members.

Some states have higher SNAP enrollment than others. Data collected by the US Department of Agriculture shows that about 12% of Americans were receiving benefits as of August 2025.
