The shutdown is over but Justice Jackson’s move letting Trump halt SNAP benefits puzzled many.
John and I break down what happened. Also the “sandwich guy” moment, and why the pardon story is even bigger than people realize

Trump’s shutdown is over — but Jackson’s vote is the twist.
@johnfugelsang.bsky.social and I also break down the food-stamp ruling, the Kim Davis fallout, and new reporting on possible pardon selling. Can anything be done about it?

The Supreme Court met on Friday to consider hearing a longshot case aimed at upending the right of same-sex couples to marry. I appeared on CNN News Central to break it all down.
