You are clearly unfamiliar with my work, because I have reported that he lied many times over the past decade. I use the word when it is accurate, as it would not have been here, and am not in need of a lecture from someone who can't be bothered to find out who they are lecturing.

USDA telling states to pause benefits is one thing. Telling them to claw back benefits is another: a) illegal - you can't do this without due process b) an administrative nightmare.
If courts rule against the administration (again), states would have to given benefits back.

Yikes. USDA sent threatening letter to states telling them that if they sent out EBT money —which many states did during the window when a lower court said SNAP funds had to be released—they have to take it back (?)
Trying to sort out what this means and if states even can claw back the funds
