Trump’s administration is demanding states “undo” full SNAP benefits paid out under judges’ orders last week, now that the U.S. Supreme Court has stayed those rulings, marking the latest swing in a seesawing legal battle over the anti-hunger program used by 42 million Americans.
The demand from the U.S. Department of Agriculture came as more than two dozen states warned of “catastrophic operational disruptions” if the Trump administration does not reimburse them for those SNAP benefits they authorized before the Supreme Court’s stay.
The regime: “We don’t just want to withhold food aid, we want to threaten to withhold it, then give it to them but a week late, but then snatch it right back out of their hands before they get a chance to spend it. That makes the high we get off being cruel that much better!”
