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.

So this is how you know you're the fucking bad guys, if any MAGAs are lurking around here.

They are either starving people for leverage, or starving people out of malice. That's it. Those are your only options.

If you support a government that starves people for leverage, you're a fucking asshole.

If you support a government that starves people out of malice, you're a fucking asshole, and you're a complete failure of a human being.

I'm very, VERY thankful Trump and MAGA are finally collapsing. 3 months from today Trump will not be the president. 3 years from now, most of these people will be dead or in prison.

I admire your optimism, and sincerely hope you’re right.

I’m so tired of this evil clown show.

We have had countless reasons for "Trump is almost through" for about 10 years now. I think it's going to get a lot worse.

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, it'll get worse. But that's what will get him out and everyone in prison.

Basically their hand is forced: escalate or capitulate. I'm not 100% sure which will happen but I am 100% sure it will be one of those two things within the next two weeks.

[–] bear@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago

They are continually choosing escalate.

[–] Sarothazrom@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Love the idea, but not gonna happen.

I live in rural Ohio. The consensus amongst maga is "duh dems r blockin' it!!! :(((("

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

The traitorous, moronic MAGA voters will have nothing to do with it. They're just along for the ride, just like they are now. They're nothing but pawns.

[–] extremeboredom@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago (3 children)

How do you envision him ceasing to be the president in 3 months?

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Perhaps massive numbers of citizens are going to march to DC and do the needful.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Build a gallows in the ballroom and let him experience a quick drop.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 9 points 4 days ago

They'll either kill him or invoke the 25th.

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

Escalation or capitulation.

Escalation means explosion of all the tension that has been building since inauguration, and that won't last long as it will be utter chaos and good for nobody.

Capitulation means Vance. But that doesn't necessarily preclude escalation down the road with him.

If I was a betting man, I'd say capitulation - MAGA politicians will throw Trump under the bus, MAGA voters (read: morons) will reject Vance, Bannon, Miller and Thiel will panic and get messy, and then some people will go to prison.
