If any Republican tries to tell you Dems are to blame for this, just look at who’s being sued.

Catch what happens this time on Will Trump Listen to a Judge

And he will just ignore this order like he’s done with so many others.

As if this regime is going to adhere to any court order they don’t agree with.

judge: “you’re not allowed to let poor people starve”
gop: “oh shucks!”

So how this plays out will be interesting.
Does TheRump and Micky Mouse Johnson, directly defy a Federal ruling?
If the payments are still halted, no blaming of this on the Dems will work.

Bigger question why are we still paying taxes during the shutdown?

👏👏👏 glad to see this. I know the emergency fund isn’t enough to cover the loss for the entire month— but something is better than nothing.
> The lawyer, Tyler Becker, also argued it was the administration’s discretion whether to use $6 billion in contingency funds already set aside by Congress to continue issuing SNAP benefits.
Oh so they admit it was the Trump Admin who decided to not fund SNAP. Good — glad we got that on record

Another judicial ruling that will be ignored and not enforced

did the trump admin again say the quiet part out loud?
>A Justice department lawyer argued during a hearing that the **SNAP program did not exist anymore** because there were no congressionally appropriated funds for it as a result of the shutdown.

Trump is going to ignore the ruling. And no one is going to care.

Who’s gonna enforce this? It needs to be but I don’t see it happening.

Or what?

I don’t see anyone in this administration or in this congress complying with the order. The constitution failed to give the courts any kind of military capacity to enforce its rulings,

Nobody loses more in court than Trump lol

Let’s see them appeal it. I don’t think that will work for them. What judge is going to allow people to starve.

How will the courts enforce their judgements ? They haven’t yet

The Trump administration’s lawyer went before a judge and said that the reason they’re not going to be funded is because the administration is choosing not to.
Say it louder for the people in the back!

Trump has already begun deporting American citizens, starving the poor is a political move.

They literally have money appropriated for this kind of situation and the trump admin is refusing to use it. The gop is just willingly going to starve American people. Cruelty is the point.

Judges tell King Cheeto all kinds of things. He ignores them and nothing happens.

Let’s see how the Trump/GOP psychopaths play this.

And when he doesn’t comply, an appeals court will declare he can starve people “for now”, then the SCOTUS will declare via shadow docket that he can do whatever he wants. Again.

Tries to hold poor people hostage, this is who MAGA elected.

There goes the gops dream of starving Americans to incite violence.

Miller and Vought will never release funds for SNAP benefits. They would rather hurt people.

Is there where the administration tells everyone that they have been paying executive employees out of this fund?
Dapper-Sandwich3790 on
How many MAGA states joined this lawsuit ?
Maybe MAGA will decide to boycott their SNAP benefits and own the libs.
protomenace on
Imagine the optics if they appeal this to SCOTUS
HorrorOk1304 on
SNAP was previously paid out during other shutdowns.
If the states front the money, the Feds say they won’t reimburse them once CR is passed.
If they appeal this decision, they might as well just say that they hate the poor.
ProcusteanBedz on
Attempting to starve citizens when there were significant funds meant specifically for this and others easily assessable will go down as one of the most shameful acts by any administration in American history.

I am sure he will listen to them… I mean what are they going to do if he doesn’t.
