Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson temporarily blocked a ruling that required Trump to fully fund SNAP because she’s playing chess, not checkers. She sent it back to the lower courts for a reason. 👀

“Before October 7th, I called them my friends.
Now they justify killing children and cheer for murderers.
‘Palestinians are terrorists,’ they say.
‘And if they’re not, they’re human shields.’
How do you reason with people who’ve lost their humanity? 💔🇵🇸”

The details are horrifying.
