Trump Fights Judge Over Food Stamps Like Itâs WWE Finals
In a 2025 drama hotter than a microwaved Hot Pocket, the U.S. Department of Agriculture ordered states to 'immediately undo' full SNAP benefit payments for 40 million Americans caught in bureaucratic limbo. The Supreme Court on Nov 7 threw a last-minute pause on a federal judge's order to release full funds, leaving states like Michigan scratching their heads mid-payment processing. The USDAâs Saturday memo warned states not to send 'full benefit files' to EBT processors, labeling such generosity 'unauthorized'âbasically financial speed limits for food stamps. Keep dishing out full benefits and states risk losing federal admin money, a financial threat scarier than your mom seeing your credit card bill.

The USDA just told states to press pause on feeding 40 million people because bureaucracy > hunger. Who knew government memos could be more exciting than a soap opera?
Imagine a competition where feeding hungry people is the plot twist. Meanwhile, the Supreme Courtâs twisting this legal saga like itâs auditioning for Game of Thrones' next season.
States tried giving full food stamp benefits, but USDA said nope, rewind to partial payments. Itâs like making sure you only get half a meal but still paying full rent.
