A whole bunch of Democratic-leaning states made an attempt to load peoples debit cards between the appeals decision and the Supreme Court stay. I have no idea to what extent they succeeded. If they did, we may end up with a month of Democratic areas being less hungry than Republican-majority ones

    From what I read, four were successful (CA, WA, HI, and someone else I forget) and the Hawaiian secretary of state said they had everything ready to go beforehand after assuming there would be a stay put in place again. Not trying to throw any shade towards Jackson, it’s just disappointing that the current state if the country is ‘what is the best way one SC Justice can gum up the works enough ti allow starving people to eat before the conservative majority tramples all over it.’
