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.

    40 million starving Americans might create 1789 France. The asswipe, Just Dumb, survived on government welfare programs to put food on his plate. Hypocritical POS.

      I’m lowkey worried he’s shortsighted enough to want food riots, because he thinks he can declare martial law and never leave power that way.
