Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson temporarily blocked a ruling that required Trump to fully fund SNAP because she’s playing chess, not checkers. She sent it back to the lower courts for a reason. 👀

As I’ve warned before the CAGOP will do anything they can to flip the legislature red.
CA lawmakers found money for these pet projects despite $12 billion budget deficit, report finds
Despite facing a $12 billion deficit this year, California's Legislature still managed to spend at least $415 million for local projects to help lawmakers win their next elections.

Especially with what’s going on now by ICE the Border Patrol etc, we can’t let them get away with their tactics.
On this day in 1994, voters in California passed Proposition 187, one of the country’s most anti-immigrant laws. It prohibited undocumented immigrants from receiving public K-12 education, non-emergency public health care and other public services.

California has Supreme Court races next year. But the most concerning right now is the governors race.
Good reminder of where things stand now in the State Supreme Courts of the 3 crucial swing states.
We have the opportunity to make Wisconsin 5-2 liberal-controlled in April.

Michigan
—Dems swept 2 seats in 2024, went from 4-3 to 5-2. A GOP justice retired this yr, so now 6-1.
Wisconsin
—Dems flipped court, 3-4 to 4-3, in 2023. Defended edge last April. Can expand it next April.
Pennsylvania
—Dems defended 5-2 majority on Tuesday.

A lot of voters are undecided for California Governor. There’s no clear front runner yet but after Katie Porter had those outbursts I’m kinda nervous about who would be the true Democratic nominee even though it’s still early.

Affordability was what drove the rightward shift in many states including California. If you are @cademocrats.bsky.social they will have to point out Felon47 and the gop claim to support tackling affordability but they are lying and they have ZERO interest in doing so.
Trump: "I don't want to hear about the affordability, because right now we're much less. If you look at energy, we're getting close to $2 a gallon gasoline."

If I had to guess right now (and it is premature!) I'd say the Supreme Court is going to strike down Trump's tariffs.
All three liberals are clearly against the government. Barrett too. Roberts leaning that way. And we haven't even gotten to tax-hater Gorsuch yet.
