    SNAP Work Requirements: Democrats Oppose, Trump Administration Implements

    The Trump administration has implemented changes to SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) that require able-bodied adults to work or attend school for 20 hours per week to receive benefits. Democrats oppose these changes, framing the issue as the Trump administration taking food away from millions of Americans, particularly children. However, the administration argues that this policy aligns with American personal responsibility values and is necessary to reduce multigenerational dependency on government assistance. The changes also include nutrition education initiatives and restrictions on SNAP purchases of unhealthy foods.

    Judge Rejects Suspending Tax Investigations of Zapatero Family

    The judge in the 'Plus Ultra' case has rejected ordering Hacienda to suspend the tax investigations of former Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, his wife Sonsoles Espinosa, their daughters Laura and Alba Rodríguez, and the company Whathefav. The judge agreed with the Anti-corruption Prosecutor's Office that there is no correspondence between the criminal investigation and the tax inspections. The only exception is the investigation into the jewels found in Zapatero's office, but the fiscal and penal scope of these items is still pending definition. The judge also rejected the argument that the tax inspection should be suspended due to potential self-incrimination.
