Trump vs. Food Stamps: Court Throws Full Basket of Shade
In the latest episode of 'Who Screwed the SNAP?', the Trump admin's desperate attempt to block full food benefits failed harder than 2024's wifi during a pandemic. The 1st Circuit Appeals Court officially told Uncle Sam to stop sitting on his hands and pay all 42 million Americans relying on benefits, including 14 million kids, by last Fridayâshoutout to Judge John McConnell Jr. for his mic-drop rebuke. Meanwhile, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson held a pause button so states could soberly navigate USDA's Saturday memo demanding they "immediately undo" full payments or face wrath. States accused the feds of trying to snatch lunches like a toddler doing hangry snapbacks. With the Senate dragging its feet on reopening government, this food assistance cliffhanger is the legal equivalent of your fridge light blinking off mid-snack.
