Gov. Shapiro: " I sued the Trump administration demanding they release contingency funding to keep our SNAP benefits flowing…The judge ruled that they must release the SNAP dollars…I sure hope the Trump administration adheres to the rule of law and follows the judge's ruling."

That a federal judge had to block the Trump administration from pushing millions of Americans into hunger says everything about this President and the party he leads.

Grateful to our Attorney General for being on the frontlines of this fight.

In a major victory, a court ruled the Trump administration must use emergency funds to provide food stamps to Americans.

No one should choose between paying bills and buying groceries.

We'll continue our lawsuit to fight for our families and the services they deserve.

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

Just when I think Pete Hegseth is the worst person in the Trump administration, Kristi Noem says something, and I change my mind, then Pam Bondi says something, then JD Vance says something, then Stephen Miller says something, but then Donald Trump says something. Contest over.

My prediction? Many GOP senators will likely resist the nuclear option because it permanently rewrites Senate rules. Even in crisis...they’re wary of eliminating the filibuster...knowing any party that breaks it...risks losing vital minority protections when power shifts. We'll see...
