Trump administration must fund SNAP payments during the shutdown, judges rule
Two federal judges ruled nearly simultaneously on Friday that President Donald Trump’s administration must continue to fund SNAP, the nation’s biggest food aid program, using contingency funds during the government shutdown.
It wasn’t immediately clear how quickly the debit cards that beneficiaries use to buy groceries could be reloaded after the ruling. That process often takes one to two weeks.
That’s funny. They will all sit around the table and laugh at “must fund”. After the laugh they’ll ignore it like they always do and find some other law to break.
Meanwhile everyone else will shake their fist fervently and come up with a neat slogan for a sign.
This is truth, borne out by plenty of prior examples.
