Read the primary article or dive into the live Hacker News thread when you're ready.
On the front page of NPR.org right now:
Democratic AGs and governors sue USDA for suspending SNAP benefits
Now, Search for this in Google RIGHT NOW in an Incognito window so to avoid your bubble.
republican lawmakers form snap bill
You see articles referencing this:
10 GOP senators co-sponsor Hawley's SNAP funding bill
And it's from the Hill, Newsweek.
Now search again with this:
republican lawmakers form snap bill npr
And you'll note that the same NPR article comes up again.
Now click on the top NPR article and ask yourself, well at LEAST this article is going to mention Hawley's bill? Search for Hawley.
No dice? Do you think the author of this article is simply UNAWARE of Hawley's bill? Sorry.
I'm sorry but a lie by omission is still a lie. They're trying on purpose to make this entire shutdown look one-sided. Democrats are the ones refusing to fund the CR. And now people are going to go hungry.
A compensating law against some negative effects of the shutdown is still no solution to it.
On the other side, refusing to pay obligations, like wages, is clearly against the law or (employment) contracts. So no matter how many partial new laws try to work around the shutdown, there will likely remain reasons to sue over.
