A very quick explainer on what (and why) Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

Check this out! Even as Trump seeks to starve our most vulnerable citizens, including millions of children, he is giving billions more to the rich and powerful by gutting the corporate minimum tax. Once more, families lose, billionaires win.

Extending the health care tax credits for one year costs about the same as Trump’s bailout of Argentina.
Trump and Congressional Republicans must come to the table and negotiate—before tens of millions of Americans see their health care premiums double.

A deeply repulsive lack of humanity in the current POTUS, Speaker, House GOP, Senate GOP and felon’s cabinet. Their dishonor, cruelty, dishonesty, corruption, disrespect for the Constitution, perversion of justice and destruction of the White House are stains on the history and honor of our country🇺🇸

Rachel Maddow warns: if Republicans let ACA subsidies expire, millions will face massive premium spikes. A WV couple’s plan could jump from $300 to $4,700 a month. The #GOPHealthCareShutdown isn’t fiscal discipline—it’s a war on working families’ health and wallets.

Democrats asked for ONE THING today to reopen the govt: Keep health insurance subsidies where they are at now for one year. That is IT. Nothing else.
Republicans said no.
So all the lies they tell every day about things Dems are asking for is BS.
