Description

Democrats continue to fight in several courts to ensure that 1 in 8 Americans below the poverty line including 16 million children aren’t starved to death by Trump and MAGA, even as MAGA continues to make them political hostages while negotiating for the government to be reopened. Michael Popok dissects the masterful order of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson that set in motion in the last few hours, the First Circuit’s ruling late last night denying Trump the power to cut off remaining November SNAP payments; Judge Talwani’s new TRO to stop Trump from clawing back the $5 billion already paid; and Trump’s emergency filing with the Supreme Court to give him permission to starve Americans, a political disaster for MAGA.

Who but a sociopath would want the money back (not even theirs), to prevent others (including 16M kids) from eating?

Yup. I knew Jus. Jackson had a trick up her sleeve! That First Circuit Court is extremely liberal, and she knew exactly how they were going to rule. Perfect setup. I love it.

All SNAP benefits go straight into our grocery stores and economy. Billions of dollars. Businesses need SNAP too! What's wrong with these people?

Remember the guy who dressed up as a woman to get on the last life boat? I think that was a TRUMP.
