Another day, another court ordering the admin to continue SNAP for hungry families. If basic decency and humanity don’t compel this administration to assure food security for all Americans, then multiple federal court judges finding its actions unlawful must.

❗️SNAP UPDATE: The appeals court denied the administration's request for a stay on yesterday's order in our lawsuit, requiring full SNAP benefits be paid today! Great news. BUT, the admin has already filed an emergency application to the Supreme Court and asked for a decision by 10:30pm. Stay tuned.

While DOJ appeals yesterday’s court order in NCN’s litigation requiring the administration to fully fund SNAP, USDA sends a letter to states saying they are complying. More to come.

So true. The nonprofit sector is a gem of America's democracy that should be supported and celebrated, and it should not turned into yet another vehicle for political campaign fundraising. #NonprofitsGetItDone #NationalNonprofitDay
