Trying to figure out what #SCOTUS just did with #SNAP, and why Justice Jackson temporarily froze the district court's ruling?

Via "One First," me on what's going on—and why I think Jackson's move was savvy, notwithstanding the awful circumstances that forced it:

Lots of focus on Virginia State House flips tonight, but don't sleep on New Jersey State House flips.

Most analysts predicted no change, but current results are pointing towards upwards of 10 flipping opportunities.

Colorado shows that feeding children is still a popular notion. All school meals should be free.

Next stop: Bomb people who are "affiliated" with a political party, such as the Democrats.
Awful: Pentagon officials told lawmakers Trump now claims authority to bomb people merely “affiliated” with “narco-terrorist" groups, Rep Adam Smith tells me. But under questioning, they wouldn't say what “affiliated” even means!

Lots of fresh info in my new piece:

Republicans lie as they breath! He is such a fraud…he knows damn well that he is keeping the govt closed to avoid the vote to release the Trump/Epstein Files. He knows that the Dems have been pleading w/them to negotiate to extend the ACA subsidies so that millions of US don’t lose our coverage!
@repluzrivas.bsky.social delivered a powerfully honest #CupOfJoe to SINO Johnson demanding a meeting to discuss ending his government shutdown.
This is what we expect of our representatives. Use your voice, even if your voice trembles.
