The media is framing this as the Supreme Court pausing the rollout of SNAP funds.
While the order requiring the government to pay SNAP is currently stayed, they still could pay SNAP.
The Trump administration is refusing to pay it.

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Here’s my my pitch for why you care about your state attorney general.
The entire conservative judicial machine *depends* on conservative state attorney generals.
John Roberts can’t take a case asking to destroy voting rights if a state attorney generals doesn’t bring it.

Came for the "regular forces" distinction, stayed for the "Chicago can't be a rebellion if, as the then former president argued, January 6th was not a rebellion" fun
There's a much more straightforward reason why the National Guard statute didn't give Trump authority to deploy the Guard in Chicago. My modest effort to explain it here:
