To deliberately starve children to death, to shell them and snipe them when they come for food, to bomb tents of people you made homeless, to target and kill anyone who offers aid or account - that's malevolent enough, but to do it in the Name of the Most High- that offends me deeply.

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.
Oh, this is wild.
DOJ went to SCOTUS *before* we got the First Circuit's administrative stay denial. (We know this because DOJ just filed a letter at SCOTUS about the admin stay denial.)
So, DOJ went to SCOTUS b/c the First Circuit did not meet its less-than-seven-hour "deadline" for a ruling.

There’s no need to overthink it or give this administration credit for strategy on this issue. Contempt for the poor is a foundational plank in the Republican belief system. This administration is more ruthless than previous GOP admins, but this is just who Republicans are and have been for decades.
