Quote:The argument appears to contradict the department’s lapsed-funding plan, released in late September, which stated that Congress’s “evident” intent was for Snap operations to continue during a government shutdown and pointed to “multi-year contingency funds” that could be tapped in the event the closures dragged on. The plan has been removed from the department’s website.

The USDA’s website now carries a strikingly partisan notice, accusing Senate Democrats, incorrectly, of shutting down the government to provide healthcare to undocumented immigrants and trans Americans. “Bottom line, the well has run dry,” the notice says. “At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01.”

Quote:Charleston County Aviation Authority police officers filed an incident report in connection with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) on Thursday after she allegedly went off on law enforcement in a profanity-ridden tirade at Charleston International Airport in South Carolina.

Police were to meet with Mace at 6:30 a.m. EDT to escort her from the curb to her flight, according to a police report. Officers were told she would arrive in a white BMW, but they were told at 6:35 a.m. that she would be arriving late.

While they never saw the car, dispatchers told the officers before 7 a.m. that she was at the entrance for the Known Crewmember program, the report stated. The officers approached her, “and she immediately began loudly cursing and making derogatory comments to us and about the department,” according to the report.

“She repeatedly stated we were ‘F‑‑‑ing incompetent,’ and ‘this is no way to treat a f‑‑‑ing U.S. Representative,’” the report read. “She also said we would never treat [Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.)] like this.”

She was allegedly “cursing and complaining,” as well as yelling into her phone, during the walk to the gate, police wrote. This continued while waiting at the gate for several minutes before she boarded her flight.

“After the aircraft departed the gate, the American Airlines Gate Agent approached us and stated he was in disbelief regarding her behavior,” according to the report. “He implied that a U.S. Representative should not be acting the way she was.”

Quote:FBI Director Kash Patel hit back on Sunday against criticism of his use of an agency jet following reports he used it to go see his girlfriend, a country musician, perform in Pennsylvania.

Social media posts and news stories published last week noted that flight tracking data showed a government jet registered to the FBI had flown to State College, Pa., where Patel’s girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, was performing at a wrestling event.

Patel issued a lengthy post on his personal account on X following reports that a senior FBI official was ousted amid the controversy.

“Let me be clear: we will not be distracted by baseless rumors or the noise from uninformed internet anarchists and the fake news,” Patel posted, writing that he was “proud of the work of this FBI.”

“I’ve always said — criticize me all you want. But going after the people doing great work, my personal life, or those around me is a total disgrace,” Patel continued. “The disgustingly baseless attacks against Alexis — a true patriot and the woman I’m proud to call my partner in life — are beyond pathetic. She is a rock-solid conservative and a country music sensation who has done more for this nation than most will in ten lifetimes. I’m so blessed she’s in my life.”
