BREAKING: DOJ goes to SCOTUS trying to stop a district court order that USDA pay out full SNAP benefits this month.

The First Circuit denied an administrative stay, but has not yet ruled on the stay request. And, CNN reported that USDA is already processing payments.

DOJ went to SCOTUS anyway.

Republicans remind Americans that Trump is famous for following the law.

Trump never ignores laws, never challenges laws.
Mike Johnson lies shamelessly: "The president is desperate for SNAP benefits to flow to the American citizens who desperately rely on it ... the SNAP situation has legal impediments."

SNAP reform?
I thought this was about opening the government....

Now they want to reform SNAP even if they re-open the government?
Brooke Rollins: "I guess the silver lining in all of this is that we're having a national conversation on our SNAP program. This has shined a light on a program that especially under the last administration has just become so bloated."
