Dems Rejoice as Child Murder Buff Taps Blackface Gov, aka ‘Coonman,’ to Lead Transition Team
Jay Jones made history this week as the first person to be elected attorney general of Virginia after fantasizing about murdering a political opponent’s children and urinating on their graves. So it makes sense that Jones would seek the counsel of another Virginia politician who knows what it takes to overcome a scandal involving moral depravity. (Step 1: Refuse to step down. Step 2: Be a Democrat.)

Trump administration seeks emergency Supreme Court order to pause ruling for full SNAP funding
The Trump administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to pause an order forcing the government to fully fund food aid benefits as the government shutdown drags on.
The administration is seeking the intervention from the court by 9:30 p.m. Friday after an appeals court ruled earlier in the day against the government.
‘From SNAP to paychecks to flights: every delay, every cut, every paycheck missed is part of their plan. Democrats are playing politics while Americans pay the price.’
“The core power of Congress is that of the purse, while the executive is tasked with allocating limited resources across competing priorities,” Solicitor General John Sauer argued in the emergency appeal.
“But here, the court below took the current shutdown as effective license to declare a federal bankruptcy and appoint itself the trustee,” he added, “charged with picking winners and losers among those seeking some part of the limited pool of remaining federal funds.”
Democracy Forward represents a group of cities, churches, nonprofits, and a union who are challenging the emergency appeal and want the lower order to stand.
“The Trump-Vance administration continues to attempt — over and over — to take food out of the hands of families, seniors, workers, and children. And every time they tried, the courts told them what the law already makes clear: They cannot,” Democracy Forward president Skye Perryman said.
“American families should not be used as political props in a shutdown that this White House manufactured,” she added. “Even as the administration attempts — again — through an appeal to the Supreme Court to deprive people of nutrition, we will continue to meet them with effective legal action and secure benefits for the American people.”
About 42 million Americans receive SNAP benefits.
“From SNAP to paychecks to flights: every delay, every cut, every paycheck missed is part of their plan. Democrats are playing politics while Americans pay the price,” reads a statement from the White House.

Prior to the SNAP ruling, a separate judge also ruled against the Trump administration in a lawsuit from a federal workers’ union that accused it of acting against their free speech rights.
The shutdown is entering its sixth week.

Federal judge orders Department of Education to stop blaming Democrats for shutdown in workers’ out-of-office emails
A federal judge sided on Friday with a union against the Trump administration in a lawsuit claiming partisan messages on out-of-office emails were unconstitutional.
U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper said the messages blaming Democrats for the government shutdown on the outgoing messages from the Department of Education violated the workers’ free speech rights.
‘Political officials are free to blame whomever they wish for the shutdown, but they cannot use rank-and-file civil servants as their unwilling spokespeople. The First Amendment stands in their way.’
The American Federation of Government Employees said in its lawsuit that the email messages forced employees to “involuntarily parrot the Trump administration’s talking points with emails sent out in their names.”
Cooper agreed in a 36-page opinion.
“Nonpartisanship is the bedrock of the federal civil service; it ensures that career government employees serve the public, not the politicians. But by commandeering its employees’ e-mail accounts to broadcast partisan messages, the Department chisels away at that foundation,” Cooper wrote in the ruling.
Attorneys for both sides admitted that the case was unprecedented for the federal courts.
“Political officials are free to blame whomever they wish for the shutdown, but they cannot use rank-and-file civil servants as their unwilling spokespeople,” Cooper continued. “The First Amendment stands in their way. The Department’s conduct therefore must cease.”
Workers said that partisan text was added to their email response messages for the shutdown.
“Unfortunately, Democrat Senators are blocking passage of H.R. 5371 in the Senate which has led to a lapse in appropriations,” the text read.

Democracy Forward CEO Skye Perryman called the ruling a “major victory for the constitutional rights” of federal workers.
“No administration — of any party — can commandeer public servants’ identities and force them to push partisan propaganda,” Perryman added. “Today’s decision makes it clear that civil servants are not a political tool, and it reinforces a fundamental principle: Our federal workforce serves the public, not political agendas.”
Cooper was appointed by former President Barack Obama.
