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.

BREAKING: Pennsylvania is now driving out November SNAP benefits.
After we won in court yesterday, we moved quickly to start getting benefits loaded on EBT cards and out the door — and we're working to get every Pennsylvanian currently waiting for federal food assistance benefits what they're owed.

If the President cared about Americans going hungry, he would follow the court’s order instead of trying to appeal it.
The Trump administration moved on Friday to deny swift and full food stamp payments to millions of low-income Americans, as it asked a federal appeals court to halt a judge’s recent order that would preserve those benefits during the shutdown.
Trump Administration Seeks Immediate Halt to Court Order to Pay Food Stamps
The appeal comes one day after a judge sharply attacked the White House for politicizing the anti-hunger program
