The Supreme Court's conservative majority on Tuesday seemed poised to rule for a Christian therapist who says her free speech rights are violated by a Colorado law barring mental health professionals from seeking to change a teenager's sexual orientation or gender identity. Lawyers for the therapist and the Trump administration said there were no studies indicating such therapy causes harm. The state's lawyer countered that there is a "mountain of evidence" that conversion therapy is ineffective and harmful.

"How Were Extra SNAP Benefits Spent?"
www.federalreserve.gov
No list was present at that link.Do you want to know what was at that link? What your citation actually said?
"While SNAP's main purpose is to support food consumption, it also aims at increasing the nutritional value of food-at-home baskets. The item level categorization in the data set allows the analysis of what SNAP recipients spend the additional SNAP benefits on. In unreported results, I examine 24 food categories and find that the top three categories seeing a relative spending increase among SNAP recipients are meat products, fresh produce, and frozen products. That is, beyond simply supporting the extensive margin of food-at-home spending, SNAP emergency allotments also serve households in the intensive margin by providing funds to allocate for healthier products as well as products they can store longer."
Figure it out for once.

Your link epicforamerica.org is exactly who I cited as absolute scum seeking to demonize those who use SNAP and who I accused you of getting your BS lilst that you posted in #71. Post #100 already called out that lie: Did you get that from Facebook? From the laughable "Economic Policy Innovation Center"? Did you just add "1,2,3,4, etc." to the left hand side and ignore the RANK number in the middle? Did you stop and ask "What are the 1 through 10 items in the ranking? They aren't the 1-10 you listed.
What you did do is finally concede that your original post was a lie by providing 1-10, so thanks for that, at least. But you're stuck with the only place you got your "list" is a disreputable right-wing "thinktank".
I posted actual government data. Non of the other links you provided backed up anything you said. Just the EPIC (no visions of grandeur they had when they came up with their name, right?) political BS spin, true to their mission.
The USDA who manages SNAP put out this list in 2024 of items purchased by Food Stamps and prioritized them in order.
Did you get that from Facebook? From the laughable "Economic Policy Innovation Center"? Did you just add "1,2,3,4, etc." to the left hand side and ignore the RANK number in the middle? Did you stop and ask "What are the 1 through 10 items in the ranking? They aren't the 1-10 you listed.
Let me help:
About 40 cents of every food purchase dollar was spent on basic items like meat, fruits, vegetables, milk, eggs, and bread.
Another 20 cents was spent on sweetened drinks, desserts, salty snacks, candy, and sugar.
The remaining 40 cents was spent on a variety of items such as cereal, prepared foods, other dairy products, rice, beans, and other cooking ingredients.

In other words those using SNAP are enabled to eat most of the same things other Americans eat. Did you think you could shame SNAP recipients with your condescending accusatory --------?
Boebert, Mace - both were known to have signed the discharge petition were summoned to the SCIF Situation Room specifically over their vote on the Epstein release matter. That alone is immense pressure and a message sent. They could be extremely dumb, or they could be extremely determined. Perhaps both. But there's no way pressure wasn't applied to them, whether they recognized it or not.
