Thanks for this. A lot of bad takes circulating. People need to keep in mind Ketanji Brown Jackson is smarter than they are and they need to trust her.

Thank you for sharing this

Thank you for the explanation.

When I saw the ruling my first reaction was to wait for just this because I DON'T KNOW anything about how these things work. That so many people on social media think they're experts on "X" drives me nuts.

I don't recall her ever doing anyone dirty, so. . . bsky.app/profile/bfwr...

Thank you for this informative, insightful information!

Thanks for this

Quite a blistering backhanded indictment of #SCOTUS

3D chess Woman's no dummy

She issued the stay AFTER the full November funds were issued to the states. The Feds CAN NOT pull them back. Bravo, Judge Jackson, Bravo. SCOTUS, be careful what you do here. Hungry and starving people have very, very long memories. There are coming calls for SCOTUS retention to be by ballots/6yrs.

Thank you for explaining because I was concerned! Honestly.

Thanks for posting. When I was it came from Justice Brown, I figured there had to be a good reason. This explains it.

We keep telling y’all: TRUST BLACK WOMEN.

Thanks for posting this. It was enlightening.

I had a feeling

And this, “Trump administration does not appear to need a court order in order to pay out November SNAP benefits…” Reminder that Trump feels zero responsibility to care for our people, Americans. Just absolutely mind blowing 🤯

We have a man begging for an insurrection so that he can declare martial law. Hungry people don’t fight well; they survive.

Overlords always need to punch down. Those in need or with limited resources are easy targets. In the future, they need dedicated lobbyists and a real seat at the table.

I knew there had to be a reasoned explanation, but it’s still a bad look. I appreciate your effort to clarify the reasoning.

I am totally confused by all of this. Many states announced Friday that SNAP benefits had come in. Now what?

Understandable..but to think that monster Trump would go this far.. to let people starve is reprehensible! Disgusting!

Thank you

As opposed to just saying "No. Feeding people shouldn't take a scotus verdict in a country that will be pretending to be christian again tomorrow."

I was thinking we'd blow up the filibuster and push through changes that need to happen for the republic to survive.

Ummm, sorry, PA supplied Fetterman. We are hopping to fix that in his next cycle for election. He's done here.

I hope you’re right. This is complete utter nonsense.

Trump GOP Project 2025 Stephen Miller said quiet part out loud They want America's population to be 100M How to get rid of 240M? Why are they building long term detention camps if they are deporting "illegals" Who will be kept in those detention camps? Meanwhile they are destructing SNAP ACA

Today the wannabe King is attending his first ever Washington Commanders football Game He wants HIS name on their new stadium being built BONUS Every Air Traffic Controller, TSA, Active duty military, Government worker working without PAY, No SNAP 💥HE ORDERED A FLYOVER FOR HIM AT THE GAME💥 💸💸💸💸💸

We should thank heaven for KB Jackson!

Thank you so much for the deep dives you do on these cases

Kudos to her for expediting things, but if she is already suspicious that her colleagues are gonna side with tRump, Idk how this helps.

the corrupts will be forced to at least have a full hearing, and quickly upon the first circuit's decision being in place 48 hrs after they make their ruling.

I started to read it. The author was unkind to readers that want to quickly understand what's going on. I gave up on it, too exhausting. One paragraph at the beginning would have solved the issue for me.

excellent explanation - thank you - I wonder how many people in the MSM will see it the way it makes sense rather than doing stupid like they usually do and cater to their audiences😠

Smart woman.

Excellent article. Thank you! What you presented makes a lot of sense.

Thanks for sharing the article 🥰

Our government is trying to kill as many citizens as possible. Plain and simple

An excellent synopsis.

@drharmony.net Thought you'd like this clarity right about now

Let’s hope the tactic works

I'm a little in love with this guy. Can you have him explain cryptocurrency next?

As my mom used to say when she relented…”ok but make it snappy”

Clock over chaos: Jackson chose a fast pause to force a fast answer.

Great explainer re Justice Jackson's chess move and here is The Point too: "...The Trump administration does not appear to need a court order in order to pay out November SNAP benefits; it could simply … choose … to do so. All of this would, of course, go away if that were to happen..."

I do too. It’s strategy and I am so thankful we have people who can understand and explain the process.

I’m sorry!! The back and forth between the courts is very confusing!!!!

What state? Washington did and the full amount.

Well reasoned as always. Thanks!

No SNAP Ok Partial SNAP Little More Partial SNAP but Late Yes ALL the SNAP Haha jk No SNAP 😵‍💫

As an outside observer to the craziness in the US…Black women are leading the charge in this fight against the regime. They stand tall on all fronts and defend democracy with their voices and their vote. We need to learn to follow their lead instead of dismissing and disrespecting. I pray folks do!

Thank you for this explainer. I needed it.

A system designed in the 1800's is having a hard time keeping up with the criminal elements in 2025

I figured this was the case as soon as I heard about it....

Thanks for explaining. I didn't understand.

Nice 🙏✊👍

Tha k you for the explanation

Does anybody have any current destruction pics they can send?

Pressing need to get the termites out of the White House.

It sucks when she has to use the corrupt and broken system to just try and do damage control.

I’m relieved to know the reason. I knew that if she made this decision, there had to be a purpose behind it — she’s far more thoughtful and strategic than those six conservative ones.

From article, the real crisis here was caused by the Republican-controlled Congress…for shutting down the federal government; and by the President in the second instance for not doing all he could to keep the SNAP funds flowing through the shutdown. Let’s not lose sight of the forest for the trees.

I'm reading Steve Vladek's account now for my Sunday essay. It is all a vortex of visiousness. God help all of those of us who are hitting back at our full capacity--whatever that is.

If Justice Jackson hadn’t acted, the full Supreme Court, which has a conservative majority, might have stepped in and issued its own stay without a time limit. Between a rock and a hard place.

The main story here is about Trump suing to starve people (again) and his desire to ignore the court. He is the villain as usual. So many experts in constitutional law all of a sudden. Sometimes doing what’s right feels wrong in the moment. The media isn’t reporting this accurately.

Thanks for the explanation-now it makes sense.

I’m glad there was a reason for this, and that it was her.

SAID they could and would fully fund SNAP for this month. Also excuse me, the figure was clearly 6 billion, not 6 million.

Thank for this analysis. It was very helpful.

Hi Linda. My dog Peanut is a rescue and is part poodle and who knows what else. She has the sweetest personality!

Thank you for this post. I was really upset that Ketanji Brown Jackson ordered this, but now it may make more sense. I hope you are right and common sense reigns on Monday.

I believe in her integrity and wisdom on this

Her decision surprised me when I first heard it. Then I quickly realized that she is extremely smart and caring, which exactly what we need more of to contend with this regime of hate and stupidity. Thank you SC3, please hang in and we will add more to your ranks ASAP! 🙏

I don’t understand America. 40 Billion for another country but your people go hungry 🧐 how is that working out for you??

I know. To the majority of under-informed non-policy wonks, all they see is “SCOTUS is helping trump withhold SNAP benefits”. But the truth is more strategic. Justice Jackson is trying to expedite the process as opposed to letting trump possibly drag this out for a year in court filings.

This was really helpful—thank you! I admire KJB so much, and appreciate her defense of the Constitution and our democratic rights and a freedoms, so her stay on FOOD benefits seemed so antithetical to me. Always pays to look deeper! 😊

This administration is doing harm to the American people as a distraction while they redact and completely remove any reference to any person who committed a crime with the Epstein cronies; most of whom are likely in this administrations cabinet. Simple, yet cruel, 'wag the dog'.

Thanks, Mueller. Good read. Insightful.

Thank you. I was wondering 🤔

Why would you go to Congress, Beth Van Duyne, to hurt and starve your constituents, especially children, seniors and veterans? For shame. (Please change to your GOP Congresscritter’s name and pass it on.)

Interesting perspective. @upbeachbum.bsky.social this may give a different perspective to your understandable disappointment

Great article. Thanks for sharing 🙂

It must be so excruciatingly distressing as a legal scholar or honest rule of law lawyer to watch SCOTUS bowing to Trump over upholding our rule of law. It is hard for Americans to watch/tolerate……especially as it relates to feeding the hungry

I trust her judgement. She's in our corner.

Everyone needs to aim the anger where it belongs Fuck Trump, Fuck Republicans.

Thanks for this! I had been totally mystified by why she did that.

Jen Psaki "The Briefing Room" MSNBC did, last night, in depth. The decision came down while she was on air. Lawyer/guest explained how it was a temporary stay, allowing Appeals Court to hand down its decision post haste.

YES, I noticed. Especially CNN. Eventually they discussed it but didn't open with it.

It seems like a Hail Mary to me - she's hoping the First Circuit will rule as she wants them to, but she has no guarantee they will.

Thank you for this! I read NPR's version and at the get-go I was confused why Justice Jackson would do this. This substack definitely helps!

Thank you for that explanation. I expected his bought and paid for supremes to do whatever they could for him, especially in light of the tariff conversations. But was surprised to see KBJ on this.

…not Argentina!

Exactly

It is #Trump'sFAULT bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Insightful!

I knew there had to be a damn good reason. Remove the regime. That’s me being nice.

Thank you for this.

Either way, doesn’t matter why, people are not eating. CHILDREN are not eating because of this. This whole damn government is responsible. I don’t care why. People already got bare minimum benefits, now it’s cut in half. Cut your groceries in half, how well are you eating now?

🙏🏻

Thanks for this explanation

This makes so much sense. Thank you!
