He describes how <a href=\"https:\/\/otherwords.org\/welcome-back-inflation\/\"><strong>President Trump&#8217;s tariffs and mass deportations have driven grocery prices to record highs<\/strong><\/a>, among other rising costs for families, who will feel the pinch as they set their Thanksgiving tables and prepare to do holiday shopping.<\/p>\n<p>Those rising prices unfortunately coincide with the onset of the &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill&#8217;s&#8221; cuts to SNAP \u2014 which as <a href=\"https:\/\/otherwords.org\/even-with-the-shutdown-ending-millions-will-lose-food-aid\/\"><strong>Reyanna James noted last week<\/strong><\/a>, are still going into in effect despite the immediate standoff over SNAP being supposedly resolved with the end of the shutdown. This week, Lousindy Mitton describes <a href=\"https:\/\/otherwords.org\/protect-our-public-servants-and-the-social-safety-net\/\"><strong>the double whammy she experienced<\/strong><\/a> of being forced to rely on SNAP after being dismissed from her federal job, only to then confront those benefits being cut too.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the administration apparently hasn&#8217;t learned its lesson. After threatening SNAP in this shutdown, they&#8217;re now threatening to pull the plug on transit funding in future fights. As LeeAnn Hall notes this week, that may be a politically motivated attack on big cities like New York with robust transit systems. But she argues <a href=\"https:\/\/otherwords.org\/the-government-is-open-now-it-needs-to-get-america-moving-literally\/\"><strong>the biggest victims will be transit users in smaller cities and rural areas<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We will be off for Thanksgiving next week but will return with a new package of op-eds afterward.
