All of this *just* happened in two totally separate cases, so be careful with differing stories about where things stand:
- TRO granted in the Rhode Island case (Judge Jack McConnell), but no written order yet.
- Trump admin was given until Monday to act in the Mass. case (Judge Indira Talwani).

NEWS: The Trump admin's decision to suspend SNAP benefits due to the shutdown has been blocked. In two cases, both judges found the government action is likely illegal. Although a judge in Mass gave the admin until Monday to reverse course, a judge in Rhode Island issued a TRO from the bench today.

BREAKING: Federal judge rules that the Trump administration likely illegally suspended SNAP benefits, ruling that at least reduced distribution is required to go forward under law using the $6 billion reserve fund.

Judge gives the Trump admin until Monday to respond as to whether it will act.

“The unvarnished truth is that the real and greatest threat to our kids on Halloween is the automobile. Kids are 3X more likely to be hit by a car on #Halloween than on any other night of the year. By focusing on imagined dangers, communities are failing to take action to actually protect children.”

Opinion: Who hijacked Halloween?

Urban legends abound during Halloween. Some are harmless, but others cause extreme reactions to wholly imaginary dangers.

My family’s electric cargo bike has replaced almost all of our local car trips (& allowed us to go from 2 to 1 car).

We still use our car when we need to go to the suburbs, but the bike (+ walking) works for 90% of our weekly trips.

“Over half of the e-cargo bike mileage ridden during trials substituted for car use.”

Cities with mode-shift and climate goals should be funding bike share and bike libraries that include electric cargo bikes.

During my town hall, someone asked me what they could do to stand up to authoritarianism.

Despite what the cynics say, you have power. All it takes is one person speaking up for somebody else. It is small acts that can change the course of this country.

Imagine if NPR had actually talked to safe streets advocates for this story and learned how the solutions to drivers killing people is not, in fact, victim blaming

You've heard of defensive driving — driving practices to help you stay safe on the road, like reducing your speed in bad weather or signaling before switching lanes. But what about defensive walking and cycling?
