The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

One thing I always like to keep in mind when looking at Trump's approval is just how low it is historically at this point in a President's term.
For example, on this day in 2021, Biden actually still had a net positive approval rating average & he took in on the chin in VA & NJ in November 2021.

We are in the midst of such a wide ranging constitutional crisis, easily the most serious since the Civil War. and most of our political leadership has not come even close to catching up to it.
Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).
It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings.
It has written majority opinions in only 3.
Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*
