The SNAP fight at the Supreme Court is officially over. Trump's Department of Justice acknowledges that SNAP is now fully funded through the end of the fiscal year and thus withdraws its request for an additional stay. The end of the shutdown mooted the case before SCOTUS could touch the merits.

Y'know, Bladerunner! The title character from Ridley Scott's 1982 sci-fi classic Bladerunner!
Oh that wacky Bladerunner, always up to his shenanigans! What wacky predicaments WILL Bladerunner and his sidekicks, the Bladerunner Kids, get into next?

It's become pretty novel to have a leader actually give their people information they need, isn't it?
I’ve been briefed by CAL FIRE on the #PackFire in Mono County.

Illegal immigration is far less popular in theory than the left wants to believe, and deportations are far less popular in practice than the right wants to admit.
Also most voters have just never thought remotely seriously about policy. “Should we get rid of illegal immigrants? Well, of course; they’re illegal!” There’s nothing deeper than that going on until they start seeing what that actually entails.
Some Dems and pundits overread the significance of Trump's win. They looked at dissatisfaction with the border and discerned a seismic cultural reaction to immigration levels inside the country. The former was real. The latter is a mirage.

I'd give it better odds than that, especially with the movement from Hispanic voters last Tuesday.
Ask Californian Republicans what happened to their comfortable red state when they passed Proposition 187.
Now expand that nationally.

Democratic leaders hope history rhymes. Schumer thinks the Senate can flip, with an expanded map including Trump states like North Carolina, Ohio, Iowa, Texas, Florida, Alaska plus Susan Collins' Maine, etc. (Betting markets give them about 1 chance in 4 to net 4 seats).

The really funny part is that the hate for Clinton came from her daring to try to reform healthcare in the 1990s.
And then 25 years later when she runs for President, the debunked right wing lies told about her get regurgitated by the left because she beat Sanders in the primary.

So many crickets tonight on both sides of the aisle.
Do y’all know how many republicans & democrats based their HRC hate on Epstein bs?
I gotta give the GOP credit. The $Billion they spent over the better part of a decade to trash the Clintons was well $ spent.

But these extremists have zero interest in making healthcare affordable for everyday Americans.

Hot take: This is ultimately why Trump caved on ending the filibuster.
Because he did cave. He went from demanding Republicans pass the clean CR via the nuclear option to "Oh I'll take the 2 month deal with all the extra requirements, and we'll just leave the filibuster alone" right after 11/5.
