190. SNAP WTF? A very quick explainer on why Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

If you’re trying to catch up on what went down with #SNAP late last night at #SCOTUS, here’s my attempt to read the breadcrumbs on the β€œadministrative stay” issued by Justice Jacksonβ€”and why a justice so critical of the Court’s grants of emergency relief to Trump still granted temporary relief here:

Jury can disregard testimony in whole or part if it concludes witness misrepresented the β€œexplosion”. It could also conclude that the fear wasn’t reasonable both bc agent exaggerated and also using its common sense (who has not been in a food fight without a vest?). Govt didn’t prove each element.

Video only showed sandwich throwing, which wasn’t the only element the govt had to prove. It had to prove that agent had a β€œreasonable fear of immediate bodily harm.” Bc agent exaggerated incident/fear, the jury could reject his testimony as not credible or reasonable re fear of harm.

The agent also lied about the incident. The jury was entitled to weigh his credibility and reject some, all or none of his testimony. They rejected all so auto reasonable doubt. Maybe agents should not lie and the AUSA shouldn’t elicit false testimony.

Shouldn’t ignore agent & AUSA misrepresented/exaggerated incident. Jury is entitled to reject the govt’s misrepresentations (perjury) & weigh govmt evidence against it, creating reasonable doubt. We are so used to agents lying on the stand that we’re shocked when the lies bite the govt.

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS grants yet another stay to the Trump administration, putting back into place a new State Department policy requiring passports to display their bearers' biological sex at birth.

Justice Jackson (joined by Justices Sotomayor and Kagan) once again dissents.

Welcome to the American Justice System where you can get an expeditious jury trial over lobbing a sandwich toward a Gestapo soldier but a child rapist elite is protected from consequences.

CALL TO ACTIVISM on X: "🚨BREAKING: Newly elected Governor of Virginia Abigail Spanberger STOPS her speech to deliver water and aid to a woman who passed out behind her. She's already more of a caring leader than Donald Trump has EVER been. https://t.co/d4KOtugXzG" / X 🚨BREAKING: Newly elected Governor of Virginia Abigail Spanberger STOPS her speech to deliver water and aid to a woman who passed out behind her. She's already more of a caring leader than Donald Trump has EVER been. https://t.co/d4KOtugXzG

Compare the "pseudo-alpha males" like Trump and Kennedy doing nothing or running away to Spanberger stopping her speech and going into action to help someone who fainted behind her.

Target’s COO/future CEO: β€œThe truth is, the complexity we’ve created over time has been holding us back,” β€œToo many layers and overlapping work have slowed decisions, making it harder to bring ideas to life.”
However, those responsible for creating the layers, like him, will not be fired.

CREW sues Trump administration for hiding federal spending information from the public - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington OMB took offline information that shows how OMB directs agencies to spend taxpayer moneyβ€”information that OMB is required by law to post.

The Trump administration tried to hide how taxpayer dolllars are being spent by taking down the OMB's apportionment database.

In response to this illegal removal, we sued the administrationβ€”and we won!

Could the press ask if Hegseth has any comments about the Christians being kidnapped and tortured in America or the ones being bombed and killed off the coast of South America?

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): β€œIf this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own.
