SNAP Benefits Mini-sode

Liz goes solo in this first-ever "mini-sode." Perhaps also the last...?

In less than 10 minutes, Liz covers the basics about what's happening with SNAP benefits given the government shutdown...and how some New Hampshire lawmakers are choosing to punch down instead of leading with empathy.
