BOSTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Friday granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the government shutdown.
A judge had given the Republican administration until Friday to make the payments through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. But the administration asked the appeals court to suspend any court orders requiring it to spend more money than is available in a contingency fund, and instead allow it to continue with planned partial SNAP payments for the month.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
BOSTON (AP) — Residents in some U.S. states began to receive their full SNAP food aid Friday as an appeals court left in place, for now, an order requiring President Donald Trump’s administration to fund the monthly benefits amid a U.S. government shutdown.
Emergency. To stop citizens from getting food.
This is what you voted for republikkkans. I sure as shit hope you enjoy what you’ve done. Have a glass of water for dinner.
One thing I did not see coming was the judge who put the ruling out. I would have guessed Roberts or basically any one of 6 possible choices other than Brown.
Supposedly there is a 4d chess reason or something but the court system shouldn’t be that complicated.
Anything they can do to lower taxes for people with more money than God.
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued an order late Friday pausing the requirement
Biden-appointed Supreme Court Justice is the one who took the action. I seriously would love more info from her.
Nestle: Water ain’t a human right either, suckers.
Could you imagine arguing in FAVOR of denying people food? What has happened to this world?
The argument is that they can’t pay because the democrats want to also maintain the evil bad socialist disastrous healthcare system. Instead of paying the insurance companies through Obamacare, we should give people the money directly
so healthcare providers can gouge the fuck out of prices even more effectively.Also, remember that communism is evil and that the islamists and marxists are now emboldened by the brown guy being elected in NY. And while we’re at it, isn’t this whole “waiting for the government to pay for your food” thing socialism anyway? Look where voting Dem got you!
Really, this shutdown is what the dems wanted. They’re the bad guys who don’t want people to have food!
Now excuse me while I try to wash off the disgusting feeling this dive into their cesspools has left me with. It probably won’t work, but I have to try.
First, if have you try an imagine being the type of person that would vote for someone that would hold food as hostage in an effort to extort the government into agreeing to stop paying for healthcare…
And then I’d have you imagine the type of person that would chose to not voting against it.
Got it?
Great! Now you’ll never again have to wonder how we got here.
If every paper in the U.S. and news channel isn’t saying “President Donald Trump orders ~1/8 of Americans to go hungry!”. They should should face enough backlash that they should be off the air or fear they will be burned down for lying to the public.
Supreme Court issues emergency order…
me: YESSS, FINALLY!!!
…to block full SNAP food aid payments
me: motherfucking goddamnit.
Weird definition of “emergency.”
Let’s starve the supremes for a month and see what’s an emergency.
WWJD? Oh yeah, exactly this, and probably sign a few 155mm shells destined to create more democracy in the Middle East.
Oh GOD!! Quick somebody stop kids from eating so Trump can have more women in martini glasses!!!
Up next, “Donald Trump announces 100% tariff on SNAP”
This is like fucking pennies, dude. Fuck off with this shit. Go ride your Qatari jet and contract with Raytheon and approve another massive defenses (excuse me, War) budget
It’s going to be wild to see 1890’s bombings in the 2020’s. Remember what happened when anarchists used to bomb government officials? I expect the same to happen when parents start losing their children. To starvation.
I’m just making an assessment. Not calling for it or saying it should happen.
Also, the bombs can fly now.
They fly now!?
I’ve seen Les Miserables, I know how this goes.
Once all this bullshit is finally over with, we need a constitutional amendment banning the fucking shadow docket this is insane
Next level evilness.
Lol. So america, ready to vote like your life depends on it yet? Because it kinda looks like it does, or will soon…
