Trump Tries Starving SNAP, Judge Orders Feeding Frenzy

KEY POINTS

  • President Trump's request to block full SNAP benefits was denied by an appeals court on Friday.
  • As a result, the USDA must issue complete SNAP benefits by the end of the day.
  • This decision follows a judge's criticism of the administration for delaying the release of funds.

In a binge-worthy legal drama, Trump requested the courts block a ruling forcing his USDA to pay full SNAP benefits by Nov 7 — and got slammed with a big fat denial Friday. Judge John McConnell Jr., apparently the opposite of a patience guru, ordered full payments ASAP. Meanwhile, USDA’s half-baked plan to partially fund November SNAP was about as reliable as a dial-up modem, promising recipients roughly 65% of benefits but admitting earlier estimates were 'filled with errors.' USDA even warned food stamp rollouts could stretch from 'a few weeks to several months,' fueling snackers' anxiety nationwide.
