UPDATE: A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to continue paying for food stamps during the government shutdown.

Ron Filipkowski writes: “Remember during oral argument on the presidential immunity case when conservative justices scoffed at and mocked the hypothetical that a president with immunity could just start killing whoever he wanted and there was nothing that could be done if he has immunity?”

You are here.

A tweet from the Governor Newsom Press Office account reads: “BREAKING: @SpeakerJohnson agrees, Americans going hungry does not qualify as an emergency. Disgusting.” Below it is a screenshot of a Politico article titled “Johnson backs Trump’s plans not to tap contingency dollars for food aid ahead of funding cliff.” The image shows Speaker Mike Johnson wearing glasses and a suit.

If this doesn’t qualify as an emergency, what does? Even the USDA plan said it could be used as a buffer in the event of a shutdown.

The White House just removed the only public database showing how federal dollars are approved for spending - despite a law requiring it. We’ve lost a key tool for transparency and oversight.

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by the account Jim Himes (@jahimes ). The post reads: "Last week, Tulsi Gabbard said 'any unauthorized release of classified information is a violation of law and will be treated as such.' By the Trump admin’s own 'standards' everyone on this chain would lose their access to classified info and be subject to criminal investigation." Below this, there is a reposted tweet from Shane Harris (@shaneharris ), which states: "In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on the Houthis in a Signal group—and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of..."

Texas announces first death in measles outbreak The Texas Department of State Health Services is reporting the first death from measles in the ongoing outbreak in the South Plains and Panhandle regions. The school-aged child who was not vaccinated was hospitalized in Lubbock last week and tested positive for measles. As of Feb. 25, 124 cases of measles have been confirmed in the outbreak since late January. Most of the cases are in children. Eighteen people have been hospitalized over the course of the outbreak.

Texas measles outbreak update: 124 cases, 18 hospitalized, & now the first death of a child, who was not vaccinated.

Tragic, preventable, & a direct consequence of the deadly lies spread by anti-vaxx grifters, one of whom is now the most powerful health official in the US.
