Judge Skeptical Over Trump Administration Decision to Suspend Food Stamps

So: judge will order the funds released. The Government will appeal. SCOTUS will issue a stay of the order. And then the Administration will have the delightful optics of appealing a court order to feed hungry kids--in America.

It was the most fun I ever had in front of a camera.

October is my time of year. Did I ever tell you about the time Alice ran me through with half a bicycle? #princeofdarkness

I had worked with John’s wife Sandy on a TV show and knew John from around town. When they called me to be in the picture I was thrilled. I grew up watching Universal and Hammer horror so being in a monster movie was a dream. John is a hands on filmmaker and watching him was a masterclass.

Love that John’s picture is getting such love here

I’ve never looked better

I agree with you. I have never been happier than being run through by Alice. @jamellebouie.net

Just a tad too “Hitler abolishing Parliament”-y for my taste

The idea that the GOP can use the nuclear option for somethings, but not this, is ridiculous. They think they are "winning" the shutdown, when everybody knows they could end either by a) negotiation, or b) 51 votes via the nuclear option. It's their government for god's sake. I'll retire to Bedlam.

The big con, 24/7.

SCENE OF TOTAL DESTRUCTION IN MY PORTLAND NEIGHBORHOOD

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social So, there should be no 10 day extension here of a shutdown. Make them solve their own problems, as we are tired of us always being adults in room.

@schumer.senate.gov Have a look at Gov Pritzker to see what the moment requires. Your response is pathetic.

Maybe JD will soon wake up and find himself in excommunication.

I think this must be what “owning the Maggots” looks like.

I think Ms Loomer is suffering from Pope Derangement Syndrome.

Yes, there’s a quid pro in there

Let's not forget about the other hundreds who were deported there without any due process. We must be certain they receive justice.

It was a gigantic crowd. The first of many, I'm sure.

If they can violate habeas without contempt charges and bench warrants then the protests of today will increase tenfold. The moment to step up is exactly NOW.

Are they yelling in Portland?" Yes.

Hold them in contempt one minute past the deadline. Issue bench warrants. Let’s see exactly where we are. Then we’ll know.

Massive rally in Portland, Oregon today. Has to be in the thousands, exactly what democracy looks like.

This speech is brilliant

I concur.
