As I explained in my Round Up this week, the admin screwed up and a handful of states were able to access SNAP funding to pay full benefits for their constituents. The gov has represented in court that they canβt get it back, so itβs become an equity issue open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

The Father Coughlin story is interesting because of parallels to the modern era. Wildly popular charismatic figure (30M listeners at peak when US had ~120M ppl). Private broadcasters tried to fact-check, pre-clear speeches, ban him while fans protested the censorship. FDR tried to stay out of it.

Bullshit. In all of the majorities theyβve had since Obamacare passed, theyβve never once tried to replace it.
Theyβve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential.

Enjoy not flying and further harming the already damaged economy, MAGA voters.

I am fascinated by the growing number of conservatives who claim I should be βdenaturalized & deportedβ because I am apparently anti-American (based on what?); these same folks who hate many of the core freedoms & rights in the American Constitution, including the 1st & 14th Amendments. The irony.

A tyrant doesnβt negotiate when compassion is the price.
He starves the people, then blames their hunger on the ones offering bread.
Let the record show, when given the choice between power and compassion, the GOP chose the lock over the key.
