While the felon was refusing to fund SNAP benefits, he and his paying members at Mar A Lago were feasting. Links to videos of the festivities are in the comments.
The appeals court now has less than 48 hours to weigh in. Meanwhile, deep uncertainty for SNAP beneficiaries—39 percent of whom are children—continues.

UPDATE: Donald Trump is so hellbent on denying people SNAP that he went all the way to the Supreme Court to block benefits.
Now Trump is trying to bully states into TAKING BACK payments they already made to families.
It’s chaos for the sake of cruelty.
