The Trump admin fucking up state administrative capacity to provide SNAP benefits is not just a feature of the shutdown. This is their long-term plan to reduce SNAP.
Soon, GOP will start talking block grants due to administrative complexity they created.

Obama was elected by a much bigger margin but the media was primed to accept criticism of him and to legitimize resistance against him because they see white conservatives as representative of America
It’s why they actively downplay any resistance against Trump today, of course

Vought holding the federal govt hostage for a boss who refuses to meet with Democrats is largely a result of Supreme Court fecklessness. We are eight months in and SCOTUS has done nothing to defend civil service laws or block de facto impoundments, emboldening constitutional arsonists.
![The memo appears to vindicate warnings issued by some Democrats - most prominently Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer - during the last shutdown standoff in March. Schumer at the time moved to allow a GOP-written spending bill to pass, arguing that a shutdown would be a "gift" allowing Trump and his deputies "to destroy vital government services at a significantly faster rate than they can right now."
Schumer says he has since revised that view, arguing this month that the administration's attacks on federal agencies "will get worse with or without [a shutdown], because Trump is lawless."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2rrp7amblhg3xoly5n5huiqv/bafkreibrf55f7qrtdxsy6kz5l7wpedsf5ba7jqtb5oapp3rmpfjnqi7ya4@jpeg)
