This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.serioustrouble.show On this week's show for everyone: two court decisions direct the Trump administration to continue sending SNAP (food stamp) funds to states and the administration has chosen not to appeal these orders — likely not relishing the politics of withholding SNAP funds — but the legal situation may get more complicated if the shutdown does not end soon. Plus: more motions from James Comey. For paying subscribers: legal wrangling over federal immigration enforcement in Chicago; some AUSAs who were placed on leave for daring to call January 6 a “mob” “riot” in a sentencing memo ; a Tennessee man who spent a month in jail on the extremely thin claim that a political meme he posted was a terroristic threat ; and the strange scandal of now-former FDA official George Tidmarsh and Aurinia.
