THREE WINS TODAY, Nov 10, 2025
I was gonna post this yesterday, but then rapid response happened. I hope hearing these wins helps you rest up and prepare for the next fight, which is the final vote that needs 60 Senators. We only need one to flip.

Good morning!
Last night sucked, but it is Monday, which means that phone lines are being monitored.
Yesterday’s vote was what is called “motion to proceed” and it was the vote with a 60 vote threshold. In the next couple days, maybe even today,

Finally upgrading my coffee table after years of kid wear & tear... Only for delivery men to discover marble portion was cracked through upon unboxing 😭 I had to refuse delivery & reschedule another one a week out. They saw the condition of the old one & said, "what an upgrade!" before unboxing 😩

I get why people are upset about SCOTUS putting a temp freeze on SNAP funding. But Justice Ketanji Brown’s move is more strategic than it sounds—she said the 1st Circuit Court should rule first. Trump skipped that step and went straight to SCOTUS. See article for full context….1

If you're celebrating California's passing of Prop. 50, don't forget to acknowledge the Black organizers who made it happen.
Racial justice campaigners were Prop. 50's army in the field
For the Black organizers who made it happen, California redistricting was just one more round in a decades-long fight.

New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks.
I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:

As of this morning, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (AKA: SNAP, Food Stamps or EBT) recipients STILL have not received their benefits. Meaning, they are unable to buy food. Because I h been both a SNAP recipient and a state caseworker who processed SNAP applications, I thought I should do
