Here’s your daily reminder that, about a week ago, the president straight-up admitted he had no idea who he was pardoning—only did it because his sons told him to.
There’s a lot going on, but I still think that’s one of the biggest scandals in the country right now—and the media is just silent.

WHAT HAPPENED?
In the multistate SNAP case, Judge Talwani will:
- keep USDA's 11/8 order that states "undo" full payments or face penalties stayed for now
- issue a TRO mirroring the RI case TRO to protect states directly
- likely address an error states say USDA made in its partial payment tables

BREAKING: Judge Talwani will be issuing a second order — aside from the Rhode Island TRO — to "protect against the government's position" that the states suing over SNAP benefits are not "parties" to the R.I. litigation. It will be stayed to run concurrently w/ the R.I. order's current admin stay.

Improving health care has been the cause of my life. It’s why I am running for congress. So I cannot support this deal when Speaker Johnson refuses to even allow a vote to extend health care tax credits. My statement:

Becker says "it's really up to Congress."
Talwani: It's up to Congress because USDA chose not to use the Section 32 funds. "It's hard to see how it's not just being used as a leverage point."
"People are hungry right now."
Even though a deal is near, she says, you aren't willing to reconsider.
