So the Texas GOP may be caught in their own Heffalump Trap with their redistricting.
And for some reason Box-wine Jeanine has a fondness for dressing up like a Holstein. Or is that a Halloween costume?

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 https://www.stevevladeck.com/p/190-snap-wtf

Justice Jackson temporarily blocks SNAP benefits order to allow appeals court to rule DOJ asked SCOTUS for a stay as USDA said it was completing its process for making full payments. Update: Jackson’s order came a little past 9 p.m. https://www.lawdork.com/p/trump-admin-goes-to-scotus-to-try

[THREAD] KBJ [circuit justice for CA1] threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business.
-if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her.
-if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet.
-instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case. [THREAD]

I thought that was a excellent explainer by Vladeck, although I might be hard put to convey the gist of it to my neighbor…

Turns out my younger brother and Nicole have the same birth date (not birthday, birth-date!). Here’ the limerick I sent him that morning:
Happy 66th birthday to Marty,
Hope you have a tumultuous party!
If it doesn’t pan out,
That’s no reason to pout:
Just grab a tumbler and a fifth of Bacardi!

Great show!
I want, “I could smell the onions and mustard!”
Plus:
“Do you recognize that sandwich?”
On a t-shirt!
SCCOTUS has blocked full SNAP for November.

(I would like those who voted for that to live on SNAP benefits for three months. No cheating!)

Good news: SCCOTUS rejected the appeal from Kimmie Davis.

And after an appeals court said that SNAP payments must be made, DOJ is trying SCCOTUS again.
