Looks like the strategy worked! A federal appeals court late Sunday rejected yet another attempt by the Trump administration to block full federal funding for food stamps. The decision may not take effect until late Tuesday, following guidance previously issued by the Supreme Court.

Due to Trump’s failed leadership (his pervious quote), the government shutdown has now reached day 21. Federal employees and their families across the country are struggling, many forced to take out personal loans just to pay their bills, and soon turning to food banks to eat.

Two private jets for Kristi Noem. Endless funding for ICE’s reign of terror. And now, a glorious new ballroom. But nothing for Americans on the brink of hunger.
Families are already hanging by a thread, but the sad truth is it’s about to get a lot worse when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November.
It’s time to find our local food banks and help out with donations and volunteer hours if you are able.

He’s taking healthcare away from 15 million Americans and making it unaffordable for 22 million more
And using the shutdown as an excuse to deprive up to 42 million citizens-including children-of SNAP benefits
Yet is on the verge of directing the DOJ to pay him $230 million
