40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

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

yeah 👀 www.stevevladeck.com/p/190-snap-wtf

Screenshot of article text:

But as I read the order, which says a lot more than a typical “administrative stay” from the Court, Jackson was stuck between a rock and a hard place—given the incredibly compressed timing that was created by the circumstances of the case.

In a world in which Justice Jackson either knew or suspected that at least five of the justices would grant temporary relief to the Trump administration if she didn’t, the way she structured the stay means that she was able to try to control timing of the Supreme Court’s (forthcoming) review—and to create pressure for it to happen faster than it otherwise might have. In other words, it’s a compromise—one with which not everyone will agree, but which strikes me as eminently defensible under these unique (and, let’s be clear, maddening and entirely f-ing avoidable) circumstances.

"a continuing resolution doesn't give Trump MORE money, it just gives him a blank check"

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Rep. Andy Harris: "A continuing resolution doesn't increase spending, but it also gives the administration the ability to tweak funding. Those Biden-era programs that aren't very favorable like USAID obviously are subject to rescission." (Yeah, that's the whole problem!)

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Pal, I appreciate the input, but the fact is that I Iive in ME-02, in a town that Trump won in 2024 two to one

Even here, the mood on Trump has been souring enormously

We don't need Jared Golden. That's a lie that people tell themselves to avoid holding electeds like Jared Golden accountable

Allen Woke 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🌐 @captainmeap.bsky.social · 3d

right and this attitude is almost certainly going to be the reason we lose ME-02 next year and potentially blow TX sen

I don't think that helps us, actually
