SUMMARY: Thousands of South Carolinians could lose SNAP (food stamp) benefits if President Trump signs the major budget bill known as the “Big, Beautiful Bill.” This legislation proposes significant funding cuts and changes to eligibility, potentially reducing SNAP funding by $295 billion over ten years. About 30,000 households in the Tri-County area rely on SNAP, with 17,000 able-bodied adults aged up to 54 at risk of losing benefits due to stricter work requirements. Federal cuts may force South Carolina to cover 5-15% of costs. Advocates warn nonprofit efforts won’t close the large gap, pushing more families into poverty and creating administrative burdens.

Tens of thousands of South Carolinians could lose nutrition assistance if President Donald Trump signs a major budget bill into law in the coming days.

The so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” would cut funding and change eligibility requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP) program, or better known as food stamps.

SNAP is currently fully federally funded but could see a budget reduction of about $295 billion over a decade, in Senate Republicans’ latest push to make the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent.

SUMMARY: Myrtle Beach has extended its juvenile curfew for a second night due to recent deadly shootings along Ocean Boulevard. The curfew for those under 18 now starts at 10 p.m., earlier than the usual midnight citywide curfew. Police use public announcements and patrols, including bike and vehicle units, to enforce the curfew, focusing on unsupervised teens. While the first night resulted in no citations, unsupervised teenagers could face fines up to \$500 or 30 days in jail. Despite the curfew, visitors continue to frequent downtown Myrtle Beach late into the evening, with some supporting the safety measure.

The second night of an extended 10 p.m. curfew for teens under 18 is underway in downtown Myrtle Beach, stretching from 13th Avenue South to 21st North and inland to parts of Broadway Street.

The curfew, typically starting at midnight, has been moved earlier this weekend following recent deadly shootings along Ocean Boulevard.

“We have a juvenile curfew that starts at 10 p.m. If you are under the age of 18, you must be at your final destination no later than 10 p.m.,” announced MBPD Chief Amy Prock over a recording that airs every thirty minutes along the Boardwalk and in Plyler Park.
