Even after appropriations and SNAP payments go out, is it likely that USDA will try to withhold administrative funds from states who submitted "unauthorized" full SNAP requests to EBT processors?
Or still attempt to recover funds in excess of the 65% table?

Many US states have started to give out SNAP funds, since the USDA initially said the emergency funds COngress set aside could fund SNAP during the shutdown. But now USDA is demanding they stop. Many people rely on these funds for their daily food. What is Trump and his administrators thinking?

I'm listening in to the hearing on the Motion for TRO in the Boston SNAP case. We're waiting for Judge Talwani to take the bench.
I'll try to do the Comey hearing at 4:00 ET if possible, but guessing these two will overlap.
