look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

POLITICS MATTER TO YOUNG PEOPLE YOU LOSERS.
Teen Vogue has been a constant light in the darkness of political reporting. This sucks.

So, all the stories about politics are going to be replaced with pieces about... career development?

All of this *just* happened in two totally separate cases, so be careful with differing stories about where things stand:
- TRO granted in the Rhode Island case (Judge Jack McConnell), but no written order yet.
- Trump admin was given until Monday to act in the Mass. case (Judge Indira Talwani).
- TRO granted in the Rhode Island case (Judge Jack McConnell), but no written order yet.
- Trump admin was given until Monday to act in the Mass. case (Judge Indira Talwani).
NEWS: The Trump admin's decision to suspend SNAP benefits due to the shutdown has been blocked. In two cases, both judges found the government action is likely illegal. Although a judge in Mass gave the admin until Monday to reverse course, a judge in Rhode Island issued a TRO from the bench today.
BREAKING: Federal judge rules that the Trump administration likely illegally suspended SNAP benefits, ruling that at least reduced distribution is required to go forward under law using the $6 billion reserve fund.
Judge gives the Trump admin until Monday to respond as to whether it will act.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.
And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.
No more.

Hey reporters, have you dealt with an editor who is convinced of any of the following things?:
- There are a LOT of climate deniers out there
- People don’t care about climate change
- Climate change is not a top issue for voters
Would love to hear about it (even just via quick DM) for a story!
