Now is the time to fight, not surrender. 🗣️
Schumer must step down from his post as minority leader and allow for new leadership to emerge—someone who is willing to consistently fight for the American people.

YES to all this.
After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.
We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.
If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
October 31, 2025
TALWANI, D.J.
Pending before the court is Plaintiffs' Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order [Doc.
No. 3] seeking to enjoin, on an emergency basis, Defendants' November 1, 2025 suspension of
benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program ("SNAP"). For the reasons stated
below, Plaintiffs have standing to bring this action and are likely to succeed on their claim that
Defendants' suspension of SNAP benefits is unlawful. Where that suspension of benefits rested
on an erroneous construction of the relevant statutory provisions, the court will allow Defendants
to consider whether they will authorize at least reduced SNAP benefits for November, and report](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:beirch5u3d3ybvuct27mtyxd/bafkreidacasierg7dicq2ua77jn4an5gcqgjrc5uyy3gdqgcfomnoufehi@jpeg)
![present, SNAP funding will not be available starting on November 1. This suspension
will not immediately impact all recipients as SNAP disbursements may be staggered throughout
the month. Penn Decl. | 4 [Doc. No. 17]; Smalligan Decl. 1 10 [Doc. No. 9]. And USDA's
October 24, 2025, letter does indicate that it would be possible for benefits to be issued
retroactively. Ex. 3, Letter from Patrick A. Penn (Oct. 24, 2025) 1 [Doc. No. 7-4] ("Households
shall receive retroactive benefits once the suspension is lifted upon the availability of federal
funding."). Nonetheless, at least some recipients will not receive SNAP payments at the
beginning of the month and this absence of SNAP payments will undoubtedly result in
substantial harm to them.
But as to the Plaintiffs, irreparable harm may still be avoided. Defendants' suspension of
SNAP payments was based on the erroneous conclusion that the Contingency Funds could not be
used to ensure continuation of SNAP payments. This court has now clarified that Defendants are
required to use those Contingency Funds as necessary for the SNAP program. And while these
contingency funds reportedly are insufficient to cover the entire cost of SNAP for November,
Defendants also may supplement the Contingency Funds by authorizing a transfer of additional
funds pursuant to 7 U.S.C. § 2257 to avoid any reductions.
Whether Defendants choose to use only the appropriated Contingency Funds and reduce
benefits or use the additional discretionary funds to cover the shortfall, Defendants now have](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:beirch5u3d3ybvuct27mtyxd/bafkreigc6hcpizel6gw5etkxnabcyjy3e4enizseb3ftigk4dtbbopi7ti@jpeg)
