The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration’s request to extend the pause of an order to fully fund food aid benefits for a few days.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson previously granted the emergency pause on an order from U.S. District Judge John McConnell from Rhode Island for the government to fully fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Many on the left excoriated her for what they perceived as a pro-Trump order.

‘The only way to end this crisis — which the executive is adamant to end — is for Congress to reopen the government.’

The Senate approved a government funding package to reopen the federal government Monday night over the objections of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and a majority of Democrats.

Lawmakers voted 60 to 40 to pass the legislation with eight Democrats joining with Republicans to support the measure. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul was the lone Republican to vote “no,” citing the measure’s insufficient spending cuts.

Democratic Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Tim Kaine of Virginia, Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire and Dick Durbin of Illinois voted “yes” on the legislation to bring an end to the 41-day shutdown standoff. Independent Maine Sen. Angus King, who caucuses with Democrats, also supported the funding package.

The bipartisan shutdown package will fund the government through the end of January and advance a slate of appropriations bills that will fund the Departments of Veterans’ Affairs and Agriculture, the legislative branch and military construction for the current fiscal year.

Democrat Senator Dick Durbin exposed Schumer’s shutdown plan during remarks on the Senate floor on Monday.

In a stunning admission, Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Dick Durbin said the Democrats’ shutdown strategy was designed to starve children.

After 40 days of a government shutdown, eight Senate Democrats caved and joined Republicans on Sunday evening to advance legislation to reopen the government. Durbin was among those who broke ranks with his party to help push the bill forward.

Democratic senators and independents who caucus with them voted in favor, including King (ME), Fetterman (PA), Cortez Masto (NV), Shaheen (NH), Hassan (NH), Rosen (NM), Kaine (VA), and Dick Durbin (IL).

Speaker Johnson Says House to Vote on Senate Deal to Reopen Government ASAP › American Greatness– amgreatness.com

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Monday that he will call House members back to Washington as soon as the Senate passes an amended Continuing Resolution (CR) to reopen the government.

“We’ll give a 36-hour formal and official notice,” Johnson told reporters during a news conference on Capitol Hill, Monday morning.

The deal, having passed its first procedural hurdle in the Senate, is expected to lead to the government reopening in a matter of days, pending final votes in both chambers and President Trump’s signature.

Johnson sent House members home on September 19 and has kept the chamber in recess, effectively preventing further legislative action until the Senate approved the House’s funding bill with 60 votes.

The White House committed in writing Wednesday that President Donald Trump will sign the bill to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history once the House passes it.

In a statement of administration policy, the Trump administration urged every lawmaker to back the measure, which would reopen the government through Jan. 30 and fund some federal agencies through next September. The House is expected to vote Wednesday evening to clear the legislation for Trump’s signature, after the Senate passed the package Monday night.

Even as the White House encouraged House lawmakers to vote in support of the bipartisan measure, the administration took partisan swipes in the official memo, claiming that the funding lapse was “forced upon the American people by congressional Democrats.”

LONDON — A senior member of the British government on Wednesday denied he’s plotting to oust Prime Minister Keir Starmer, in a sign of deep anxiety in the Labour Party over its dire poll ratings less than 18 months after a landslide election victory.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting said talk of a leadership challenge coming from Labour officials and lawmakers is “self-defeating and self-destructive.” He spoke after aides to the prime minister preemptively told British media outlets that Starmer would fight any leadership challenge.

“It’s totally self-defeating briefing, not least because it’s not true,” he told Sky News. He said “whoever’s been briefing this has been watching too much ‘Celebrity Traitors’,” referring to the hit reality TV show that pits faithful members of a group against conniving enemies within.

“Very fierce fighting continues for Yablukove and several other locations,” he said. “The defensive operation is ongoing, and the contact line remains dynamic.”

Russia is taking advantage of the weather to advance in small groups, moving on foot or motorcycles, with the adverse weather preventing Ukrainian forces from deploying drones against them.

It comes as Ukraine’s government suspended its justice minister on Wednesday, amid an investigation into corruption in the energy sector.

A church leader in the UK says police warned him that he may face a criminal investigation because a Bible verse displayed on the back of his campervan could be treated as “hate speech.”

The story is yet another chilling example of how far Britain’s crackdown on religious expression has gone.

Pastor Mick Fleming, 59, who runs an independent church and anti-poverty charity in Burnley, said he was approached by a police officer at a gas station on October 27.

The officer warned Fleming that the Scripture on his vehicle might be considered hateful “in the wrong context.”

The verse was John 3:16, one of the most widely known and quoted passages in the Christian faith:

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.”

California’s Digital ID Plans Advance After Appeals Court Boost– slaynews.com

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has just given a huge boost to California’s plan to continue building one of the most expansive digital verification regimes in the country.

The appeals court refused to rehear NetChoice v. Bonta, leaving in place a ruling that allows California to advance a system critics warn could become a statewide online digital ID requirement.

The court’s decision keeps intact most of Senate Bill 976, the Protecting Our Kids from Social Media Addiction Act.

The bill was signed by Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom in September 2024.

The law forces social media companies to implement “age assurance” systems to determine whether users are adults or minors.

On Jan. 6, 2021, pipe bombs were found at the the Republican and Democratic National Committees’ headquarters. The pipe bombs, which never detonated, were placed shortly before they became a small piece of the larger events of Jan. 6 that saw protesters enter the U.S. Capitol.

The new allegation was advanced by Blaze Media in a report published Saturday based on a software analysis of the suspect’s gait conducted for the outlet.

The BBC’s boss and its head of news quit on Sunday following criticism over bias at the British broadcaster, including in the way it edited a speech by U.S. President Donald Trump.

The BBC had been under mounting pressure after an internal report by a former standards adviser was leaked to the Daily Telegraph newspaper which cited failings in its coverage of the Israel-Hamas war, trans issues and a speech made by Trump.

The White House had recently denounced the broadcaster as a “propaganda machine” after its flagship Panorama program was found to have edited two parts of Trump’s speech together so he appeared to encourage the Capitol Hill riots of January 2021.

Tim Davie, who has led the British Broadcasting Corporation since 2020, said he decided to leave after “reflecting on the very intense personal and professional demands of managing this role over many years in these febrile times”.

Despite all the uproar surrounding the ascension of socialist star Zohran Mamdani to mayor-elect of the largest city in America, democratic socialism’s capture of city government, not just New York City’s, is years in the making.

Scores of candidates backed by the country’s de facto socialist party, the Democratic Socialists of America, have wooed their way into local office with similar promises of government-run grocery stores, free childcare, fareless public transportation, and rent freezes.

Notably, a third of the 12-person Portland City Council are active DSA members, all of whom assumed office in January. There, the “socialists are setting the agenda.”

Voters with a bachelor’s degree or higher largely supported Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayoral race. As political analyst Byron York noted on X.com, “the non-degreed tried valiantly to save the city from the degree-holding horde. There just weren’t enough of them.” The election results suggest that our higher education system is broken and must undergo significant changes to prevent socialism from taking over America.

In 2023, Jacobin, a prominent socialist publication, recognized a significant shift in academia, noting that many universities have openly adopted Marxist ideology and associated radical concepts, such as Critical Race Theory (CRT). For countless students, the college experience has shifted from learning critical thinking and employable skills to ideological indoctrination, with Marxism, CRT, anti-capitalism, and anti-American sentiment permeating classrooms.

A federal appeals court on Sunday evening denied the Trump Administration’s request to halt a judge’s order forcing the full payment of SNAP benefits for November.

The order is on hold for 48 hours, per Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

The Department of Agriculture late Saturday evening instructed states to “immediately undo steps” taken to fund SNAP benefits for November. “The US Supreme Court granted the US Department of Agriculture an administrative stay of the orders issued by the District Court of Rhode Island,” the memo read.

“Pending any explicit direction to the contrary from Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), States must not transmit full benefit issuance files to EBT processors. Instead, States must continue to process and load the partial issuance files that reflect the 35 percent reduction of maximum allotments detailed in the November 5 guidance,” the memo stated.

A new plan by the University of Michigan to invest in civil discourse is being questioned after the institution spent hundreds of millions of dollars on diversity, equity, and inclusion in recent years.

University President Domenico Grasso announced in September a $50 million investment in a new institute for civil discourse.

In the works since 2024, the institute is expected to open in the spring, a news release states.

“One of my priorities as president is for the nation to look to Michigan as a model in higher education for civil and robust discourse on critical issues,” Grasso said at a Board of Regents meeting in September.

“Silencing voices is anathema to a great university like ours,” he said. “Our common ground, in pursuit of the common good, must be reasoned discourse and civility. I believe we can — and must — rise to this moment, together, in ways only Michigan can.”
