Trying to figure out what #SCOTUS just did with #SNAP, and why Justice Jackson temporarily froze the district court's ruling?

Via "One First," me on what's going on—and why I think Jackson's move was savvy, notwithstanding the awful circumstances that forced it:

190. SNAP WTF?
A very quick explainer on what (and why) Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

Zohran Mamdani has widened a fund-raising advantage over his rivals in the New York City mayoral election, securing another $1.9 million as the city doled out matching public funds. The numbers suggested that Andrew Cuomo, in particular, had fallen well behind Mamdani’s fund-raising pace.

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate for mayor of New York City, has nearly four times more campaign funds than Andrew M. Cuomo, thought to be his closest rival.

Mamdani: I would say that for the former governor to have spent an entire day speaking almost exclusively about me and barely about the New Yorkers who have been killed is indicative of the very politics New Yorkers want to leave in the past.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.

Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders?
A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

I think you should be able to say things the president doesn’t like and still be a citizen. Maybe we should write that down somewhere.
