This is the correct explanation of what happened tonight👇
KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business.
-if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her.
-if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet.
-instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.

How sad is it that the richest country on Earth has a government that has to be forced to feed families with hungry children?
SNAP benefits shouldn’t be a courtroom battle. People shouldn’t have to beg for basic humanity. But here we are.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

On gas masks, from a #LosAngeles front line.
Some protesters prefer a full face mask, as I'm wearing here. Others prefer a nose & mouth respirator plus goggles.
Consider pros & cons.
A full face mask takes a bit longer to don & doff. It does not dangle around your neck when removed.

Mayor Bass denies city’s own data on nearly $400M LAPD liability costs
Hours after LA Public Press reported the figure, Bass told a town hall the city would be "bankrupt" if the $384 million in LAPD costs were true.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages
