Enraged and demoralized by the Senate Dems who are caving. Hope they get an earful. We desperately need new leadership to shake things up. The old way doesn’t work.

For those confused by state of play on SNAP right now: You're not alone
Yesterday, *before* SCOTUS paused order telling Trump admin to send out SNAP $$, a handful of states rushed to issue full SNAP benefits to at least part of their caseload.
This includes CA, OR, WA, MI, and WI—all blue states (🧵)

BREAKING: the Supreme Court has granted Trump administration’s request.
So the justices will weigh the irreparable harm to the government of having to transfer the funds against the irreparable harm of tens of millions of people not eating
NEW at SCOTUS: the Trump administration turns to the justices on an emergency basis to thwart a lower-court ruling requiring full funding for SNAP benefits during the government shutdown

Streaming the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles' convention. I love that they've made this option available in one of the largest geographic dioceses in the U.S. We're electing a new bishop. There are three candidates on the slate; each would represent a historical choice. It's very exciting!

There were 13 elections last night for a statewide office.
Democrats swept all 13.
That’s 1 in NJ. 3 in VA. 2 in GA. And 7 in PA (all judges, retention and regular).
They won 12 of the 13 races by double-digits, with margins up to 24%. The only other race, the tightest, they won by 6%.
