NEW: The First Circuit has denied the Trump Admin’s motion to stay in our SNAP case. This means that full benefits should be paid after the SCOTUS stay expires. The court does not mince words about what the government has done here. Congrats to our clients, co-counsel, and @democracyforward.org.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court denied an attempt to challenge Obergefell v. Hodges, the case affirming marriage equality nationwide.

That's grand news. And it might be many years before another case like that can fall on the steps of the Supreme Court again?

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

MSNBC: Where's the urgency to end this shutdown in Washington?

JEFFRIES: That's a great question. It should be asked of Mike Johnson. Where's the urgency in actually bringing the House back into session? They have canceled votes for the last 6 weeks.

Jeffries: "It's incredible that Trump & Rs have decided to weaponize hunger & starvation by unlawfully withholding SNAP benefits from 42m Americans. But this is not surprise when you consider that in their one big ugly bill, Republicans already enacted the cut to SNAP benefits in American history."

Government shutdowns come with real consequences: limited air traffic safety oversight, federal workers aren't paid, SNAP funding issues and much more.

Meanwhile, Trump is building a ballroom and ramping long-term efforts to fire civil servants.

This is NOT okay.
