A federal judge ruled that Trump must pay for November SNAP benefits in full by no later than today, November 7. “People have gone without for too long,” the judge said. “Not making payments to them for even another day is simply unacceptable ... this should never happen in America.”

Trump administration seeks to halt SNAP food aid payments after a court order The Trump administration has asked a federal appeals court to block a judge’s order to distribute November’s full SNAP benefits during a U.S. government shutdown. U.S.

Republicans are on their heels for the moment but they still hold all the levers of power and Americans are still their prisoners. They’re already punishing us with the shutdown, military occupations and disappearances, and taking away SNAP and flights. It will only get worse.

Trump administration seeks emergency pause to court order demanding full November SNAP payments President Donald Trump’s administration asked a federal appeals court Friday to block a judge’s order that it distribute November’s full monthly SNAP benefits amid a U.S. government shutdown, even as at least some states said they were moving quickly to get the money to people.

Trump administration seeks emergency pause to court order demanding full November SNAP payments.

We need to get the government open. Air travel being scaled back right before the holidays is going to be a disaster for so many!!! The regime suing to NOT pay SNAP is a disaster for so many!!! Let republicans own the healthcare crisis they created and push on governors to do more to help.

Trump Administration Seeks To Halt SNAP Food Aid Payments After A Court Order Judge McConnell orders Trump's administration to expedite SNAP payments, impacting crucial aid distribution.

Not surprised at all. We saw the heartlessness the first time he was in there.

Trump has sent a notice to grocery stores across the country that they are LEGALLY BANNED from offering any discounts to people who receive SNAP benefits now that the "well has run dry." This is trump telling grocery stores to not help people who are going hungry across the country. #TrumpIsACunt 🤷🏽‍♀️

Imagine what could be accomplished if they put as much effort into doing something productive as they do in refusing to pay SNAP benefits

Starbucks baristas have done everything right — organized, bargained, and stood together.

But the CEO still refuses to offer a fair contract or end union busting.

If baristas go on ULP strike, our response is simply DON’T BUY STARBUCKS.

Judge McConnell to DOJ's Tyler Becker:

"In fact, nothing was done consistent with the court's order to clear the way to expeditiously resolve it."

Rising This Week: SNAP judgments It took orders from two federal judges and a tsunami of calls to Congress for Trump to express concern for millions of Americans affected by his plans to suspend food assistance.

A hearing has begun over the enforcement of a federal judge's order to fund SNAP benefits through November.

Plaintiffs say Trump is holding "full SNAP benefits hostage for political leverage during the shutdown."

Dems Are Suddenly Very Serious About Retaking the Senate “We are so back.”

From conversations with Democratic leaders and operatives over the past twenty-four hours, it’s clear that the party’s sense of defeatism about the Senate is beginning to fade away and that they are convinced that a relentless focus on affordability can open up various pathways to fifty-one seats.

Hey, Republicans: Blame Trump Exit polls show Tuesday’s election was a referendum on the president and his policies.

President Donald Trump not only misled Americans about what he would do as president, but has now done the opposite and is flaunting it, argued Puck News columnist and MSNBC analyst John Heilemann on Wednesday.

"Let me be clear: The president has both the funding and the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.”

After years of decline, 18–29-year-olds delivered a 35-point margin for @SpanbergerForVA — the biggest for Dems since 2017.

Older voters barely moved, but young voters anchored the Democratic turnaround.
