BOSTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Friday granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the government shutdown.
A judge had given the Republican administration until Friday to make the payments through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. But the administration asked the appeals court to suspend any court orders requiring it to spend more money than is available in a contingency fund, and instead allow it to continue with planned partial SNAP payments for the month.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
BOSTON (AP) — Residents in some U.S. states began to receive their full SNAP food aid Friday as an appeals court left in place, for now, an order requiring President Donald Trump’s administration to fund the monthly benefits amid a U.S. government shutdown.
Supreme Court issues emergency order…
me: YESSS, FINALLY!!!
…to block full SNAP food aid payments
me: motherfucking goddamnit.
Could you imagine arguing in FAVOR of denying people food? What has happened to this world?
It’s going to be wild to see 1890’s bombings in the 2020’s. Remember what happened when anarchists used to bomb government officials? I expect the same to happen when parents start losing their children. To starvation.
I’m just making an assessment. Not calling for it or saying it should happen.
Also, the bombs can fly now.
OH! NO!. There are americans that might not go hungry. Quick uncle justice thomas summon the supreme court action force to stop this travesty! Everyone should do searche google about if historically starving populaces have ever killed their leaders or judges till its the top search on google.
It’s even worse than that. They did it not because it’s unconstitutional in any way but because they felt that it was dangerous to cause more debt by using these funds which were specifically set aside for this exact purpose.
They’re not even pretending anymore.
Funny how debt becomes a thing to care about only when it serves the purpose of taking literal food out of the literal mouths of the poor.
meanwhile we continue to stuff argentina and israel’s mouth full of money.
First, if have you try an imagine being the type of person that would vote for someone that would hold food as hostage in an effort to extort the government into agreeing to stop paying for healthcare…
And then I’d have you imagine the type of person that would chose to not voting against it.
Got it?
Great! Now you’ll never again have to wonder how we got here.
I was baffled reading elsewhere today that Justice Jackson did it, due to her jurisdiction or something. That’s a Biden appointee. I’m sure there’s some procedural bullshit, but still… I am lost.
Edit: yup, it’s in OP’s article too.
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued an order late Friday pausing the requirement
Biden-appointed Supreme Court Justice is the one who took the action. I seriously would love more info from her.
Took me a bit to dredge this up but it has the reasoning.

Here’s an analysis of what might be the reason; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ng1lK_82sQU
Its almost like the monopoly on power transcends party lines. We need to come together and organize as the people. We are more alike than different.
Oh GOD!! Quick somebody stop kids from eating so Trump can have more women in martini glasses!!!

Next level evilness.
America! Fuck yeah! This is winning! Fuck the poor!
Oh. And Trump is a pedophile and most likely human trafficker. In addition to his other felonies and rape charges. He also sleeps in meetings and has no idea who he pardons. Clearly he is sundowning. But hey, the GOP is here to protect all your diddlers and white collar criminals. They really care.
I know the news keeps saying they were going hard against the tariffs. I have zero doubt they will do anything but capitulate tonight him again; it’s why they are there.
“Emergency”
More like vetoing the actual emergency order.
HURRY A POOR FAMILY IS ABOUT TO BUY SOME FOOD WE MUST STOP THIS!
Emergency. To stop citizens from getting food.
This is what you voted for republikkkans. I sure as shit hope you enjoy what you’ve done. Have a glass of water for dinner.
Nestle: Water ain’t a human right either, suckers.

Anything they can do to lower taxes for people with more money than God.
One thing I did not see coming was the judge who put the ruling out. I would have guessed Roberts or basically any one of 6 possible choices other than Brown.
Supposedly there is a 4d chess reason or something but the court system shouldn’t be that complicated.
The Government’s argument, I shit you not, “Congress has not given explicit permission to do this.”
Invade cities with ICE, bomb boats in the body of water formerly know as the Gulf of Mexico, literally start a war with a sovereign nation, tariff the fuck out of everyone… BUT OH NO! Feeding kids, that’s Executive overreach.
Man, I’m not religious, but holy fuck I really do hope there is a hell.
This administration is demonic.
Kentanji brown Jackson was the one who halted payments.

Completely demonic. Pure evil.
Man, I’m not religious, but holy fuck I really do hope there is a hell.
I say this ALL the time. The moment is heard Dick Cheney died, I thought “If there’s a Hell, he’s having a very unpleasant time right now,” and smiled.
We are officially in the “Let them eat cake” stage of this MAGA government. Enormous ballrooms, foreign jet bribes, bailouts for foreign dictators, and now they’re going to deliberately starve poor people because they think it will make people vote for them.
When we take back this government, this will be the exact reason that there should be at least three seats added to the Supreme Court, and Clarence Thomas should be impeached, prosecuted and imprisoned, along with his treasonous bulldog wife.
They are actively STARVING their own citizens! There will be no punishment too severe for these monsters.

Cake‽ Are you out of your mind? Why should taxpayers’ money be used to fund something as luxurious as cake for people on SNAP benefits?
I bought pistachios and Japanese snack mix with the last of my SNAP from last month, bc fuck it, might as well go out with a bang.
Japanese‽ As in non-American? What part of “Make America Great Again” did you fail to understand?
Haaahaha 😂😂😂

You are long past “take back the government” at this point. The flaws in the system have been so blatantly exploited that it requires an overhaul to fix. Three more seats on the supreme Court just means a fascist needs two more people in their pocket to do the exact same thing that is happening now.
here will be no punishment
too severefor these monsters.We’re in end game now. We will not take back the government. 2025 was a feel-good moment but 2026 will be stolen. Civil war 2 AI boogaloo is the only chance for The People to take back our power after that.
Nope, historically, these guys never win for long. Eventually they fall, and it is ALWAYS very bad for them. Ask Hitler, Mussolini, Ceausescu, Gadhafi, and countless other dictators whose last day in office coincided with their deaths
Aside from Ceausescu the rest were deposed by outside military forces. Tell me who’s going to invade the US and save us?
