FUN FACT: Legendary filmmaker Mira Nair is Zohran Mamdani’s mom.

Hmm… May have to screen Mississippi Masala — a Nair masterpiece starring Denzel Washington — outdoors in Fort Point next summer. Or maybe sooner!

Massachusetts Republicans are so cooked that they're trying to attack Michelle Wu for "wasting" taxpayer money by visiting Nova Scotia to pick up Boston’s annual Christmas tree.

Now who's waging a War on Christmas, huh?

Got e-mail from somebody who thinks I write too much about "regime" stuff and I should get back to the good old UHub. Told him why I'm going to keep on writing, but also set up an alterna-UHub version with no regime news at all: universalhub.com/nofederal

So Donald Trump’s big donors and giant corporations get massive tax breaks, but Americans waiting for SNAP payments are told to eat dirt? Did I get that right?

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.

SC Justice Jackson just stayed the order requiring regime to start funding SNAP - to await ruling by 1st Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston on a longer stay. Her stay remains in effect until at least 48 hours after the appeal court rules.

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump & USDA going to Supreme Court to try and STOP SNAP Benefits from being distributed. This is truly the MOST evil thing I have ever witnessed by a sitting Administration. Absolutely DESPICABLE!

Trump admin goes to SCOTUS to try and stop order that it pay full SNAP benefits this month
DOJ asks the justices for an order by 9:30 p.m. Friday — as USDA was in the middle of completing its process for making full payments, under a court order to finish Friday.
