Supreme Court issues emergency order to block full SNAP food aid payments
The Supreme Court has granted the Trump administrationβs emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the government shutdown.
Itβs disgraceful that the administration chose to go to court instead of fulfilling its responsibility to the American people.
I will not stop fighting until every family has the resources they need to put food on the table.

Freshman Senate Dems and House Republicans to huddle on bipartisan ACA plan
Lawmakers hope they can produce a framework that can eventually pass, which would also give Democrats cover to vote to reopen the government.
Two Senate Democrats and two House Republicans are planning to huddle Friday over a possible bipartisan plan to extend soon-to-expire Obamacare subsidies, according to four people with direct knowledge of the matter.
Centrist Senate Democrats are working feverishly to hammer out an ACA framework in more detail to give Democrats an off-ramp to vote to reopen the government.
Freshman Democratic Sens. Andy Kim of New Jersey and Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware invited GOP Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey to talk about the forming bipartisan proposal, according to two of the people.
The goal is to develop the contours of a plan to address the Affordable Care Act tax credits that are used by more than 20 million Americans, and will cause premiums to spike if they are allowed to expire at the yearβs end. Van Drew has been talking with President Donald Trump to try to get him to support a one-year extension at the very least.
Senate Democrats are working to reach agreement on a bipartisan ACA extension plan that GOP leaders would agree to hold a vote on once the shutdown is over. And, if that plan gets 60 votes in the Senate, a swath of House Republicans will then press Speaker Mike Johnson to put it on the House floor.
Johnson has said repeatedly, as recently as Thursday morning, that he wonβt commit to allowing a House vote on the expiring subsidies.
Spokespeople for Van Drew and Fitzpatrick didnβt immediately respond to inquiries.
As an alternative, four other people with direct knowledge of internal party strategy say a handful of House Republicans are privately indicating a willingness to eventually support a Democratic-led discharge petition on a measure to extend the subsidies β a procedural maneuver allowing rank-and-file members to force a vote on legislation without leadershipβs blessing.
βWe would find a way,β one House Republican said.

BARBARIC
Inequality has been slowly creeping into America for 45 years, but 2025 will show an explosion of intentional and wide-out-in-the-open greed.
Unless enough Americans wake up and band together to stop it.

Trump hosted a "the Great Gatsby" themed Halloween party at Mar-A-Lago, with the actual tagline "A little party never killed anyone," while Congress remains shut down and SNAP funding remains uncertain.
