It is amazing that the lawyers for Texas tasked with defending Texas' racial gerrymander are essentially throwing both DOJ and the Governor under the bus.

Drug companies have hired over 500 lobbyists this year to gut the Inflation Reduction Act's drug price negotiation provisions.
They outnumber public interest advocates more than 20 to 1.

There are (rightfully) several of these challenges going on — and likely more we don’t yet know of — and I hope to be able to spend some time on this issue soon, but this is a notable win that I’m glad to see getting coverage.
NEW: Trump's DOJ sent a subpoena to a gender-affirming care clinic seeking information on patients, including minors, and its insurance billing practices. The clinic—which doesn't even take insurance—fought the demand in court and won.

Let's remember that H.R. 1 reduces #SNAP spending by $187 BILLION expecting to leave an estimated 1 MILLION children with reduced or eliminated assistance.
Even when the gov't reopens, let's not forget: Republicans hate children.
19% of ALL children in the US experience food insecurity.

already these systems demand too much of applicants, already they are designed to kill through administrative sluggishness and inaccessibility. forcing everyone to re-apply, especially all at once, will create serious health consequences for all applicants, up to and including death by starvation.
In no specific order, here are all the issues with this requirement that come to mind in like 2 minutes before my break ends:
1. Requiring all recipients to reapply will need to happen over time not all at once to have a chance at not crushing state office's. Watch closely how it plays out
