$2733.15 a month.
In all three cases, the far-right position lost on a 2-1 vote:
- A George W. Bush appointee wrote the court's opinion (Richman in SB4; Southwick in AEA & WT)
- A Dem appointee joined (Ramirez in SB4 & AEA (in part); Dennis in WT)
- A Trump appointee dissented (Oldham in SB4 & AEA; Ho in WT)
Former top USDA officials from both parties agree that the Trump admin should find a way to fund SNAP during the government shutdown.

I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that heโd only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.
