Hes not your enemy. If you're a constituent, he is your employee. Give his office a call and let them know how you expect him to perform.

I think a lot of people would be happy to return food to Trump after they're done digesting it.

This post claims to have an educated guess:

In a world in which Justice Jackson either knew or suspected that at least five of the justices would grant temporary relief to the Trump administration if she didn’t, the way she structured the stay means that she was able to try to control timing of the Supreme Court’s (forthcoming) review—and to create pressure for it to happen faster than it otherwise might have. In other words, it’s a compromise—one with which not everyone will agree

I'm thinking she may also have timed things in a way that results in Democratic-run states, which largely attempted to rush money into peoples' debit cards after the appeals court ruling, having a month of SNAP, while Republican-runs states, which did not, having some very hungry people.

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

He actually read one book: an anthology of Hitler's speeches

Donald Trump appears to take aspects of his German background seriously. John Walter works for the Trump Organization, and when he visits Donald in his office, Ivana told a friend, he clicks his heels and says, "Heil Hitler," possibly as a family joke.

Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler's speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.

Its all excuses for what he wanted to do to begin with, which is take food out of the mouths of kids so that billionaires can become trillionaires

Better ad targeting does make ads more valuable...but because only Google and Facebook have the visibility and ML to do it effectively, they wound up with all the ad revenue. Everybody else ended up with a few pennies
