ICYMI--SUPREME COURT ISSUES EMERGENCY ORDER TEMPORARILY BLOCKING FULL SNAP PAYMENTS

The Supreme Court has issued an emergency order blocking SNAP funding amid the ongoing Schumer Shutdown. Here's more from the Associated Press:  The Supreme Court on Friday granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the government shutdown, even though residents in some states already have received the funds.

A judge had given the Republican administration until Friday to make the payments through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. But the administration asked an appeals court to suspend any court orders requiring it to spend more money than is available in a contingency fund, and instead allow it to continue with planned partial SNAP payments for the month.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued the ruling.....MORE AT Supreme Court Issues Emergency Order Temporarily Blocking Full SNAP Payments
