The written order came one day after a court told the Trump administration it must pay benefits in the program known as SNAP during the shutdown.

    Or you’ll do what?

    He’s going to ignore it, so you might as well just jump ahead to the enforcement step. There’s going to be an enforcement step, right?

      The judge will vigorously wag their finger at the Trump administration and admonish them with a politely written letter.

      Maybe they’ll even threaten to count to three or hold their breath.

      He will, but will his goons? I would not want to be responsible for killing thousands of people (or more, as time goes on), fuck no, thank you kindly.

        Well, using the administration’s covid response as a benchmark, his goons don’t seem to care overly much about how much harm they cause.

          He has spent his life battling countless wars of attrition in courtrooms, and has largely forced his petty wishes upon the world.

          I suspect his covid response was because he simply didn’t want to be told what to do, and then he later used it as a tool.
