@strictscrutiny.bsky.social I just name checked Strict Scrutiny at a CLE co-sponsored by the local Federalist Society. Quite surprised the Texas Supreme Court Justice who was asking what legal podcasts the attendees listen to.

@leahlitman.bsky.social listening to this week's episode of @strictscrutiny.bsky.social . At one point, you were talking about the director of Homeland security and I heard "Crispy Gnome"and now I have a new name for her.

(Not paying out any SNAP benefits is violating the court order. She can insist they're complying all she wants, but that doesn't make it true.)
Q: Trump wrote that SNAP benefits will only be given when Democrats reopen the government. As written, how would that not violate the court order?

LEAVITT: I've now answered this question several times. We are complying with the court's order

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

This is the President openly announcing that he will violate court orders - two courts had concluded that the Trump regime withholding SNAP funding was illegal - and that the government had to pay out (at least reduced) SNAP benefits starting this week
