    I thought Trump was gonna be forced to use available funds for SNAP. Or was it just an empty threat?

      Yes, but the fund sources that the administration is required to use are not sufficient to fully pay for all of SNAP for this month, and my understanding is that it is very possible that benefits will be only partially paid. There are apparently other sources that they can use to fully pay them if they want to do so. There should be more clarity in the next few days.

      This is also only talking about November.

      A court says to do something, trump says no. We’ve played this game before. The few times the admin actually follows the rulings end if it gets to the supreme court.
