Donald Trump is now going all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to take SNAP food benefits away from Americans in need.
California won't back down in court from supporting the tens of millions of Americans the Trump Administration seemingly wants to starve.

Just wrote an upbeat (!) Morning Shots.
I mean, if not today, when?
We should relish this moment. For a few hours. Because we should realize that these results are going to make the Trump administration even more aggressive about tilting the 2026 playing field, and we need to be ready for that.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.
