260: Oh, SNAP

260: Oh, SNAP

Author: Politicon November 1, 2025 Duration: 57:11
Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to analyze the power of the president to impose tariffs, its upcoming review by the SCOTUS after challenges by small businesses and numerous states, and the argument for leaving that power in the domain of Congress.  Then, the #Sisters explain the effects of the government shutdown on SNAP benefits, discuss the suit by 25 states over their suspension, and the role AGs play in pushing back against the Federal Government.  They also look at the growing legal war on same-sex marriages ignited by Texas, and whether those rights are at risk going forward.
