Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

King Charles strips Andrew of prince title and ejects him from mansion Royal subject to ‘censures deemed necessary’ in sharp change of tone by Buckingham Palace

They didn't.

Sounds like Mike Johnson needs to get on Bluesky and follow Aaron Rupar, MeidasTouch, and Heather Cox Richardson…then he’d know everything that’s going on 😅

SNAP isn’t the only program at risk because of the Republican shutdown.
