The ruling is for many if you read it:

The courts also found that the USDA has $23 billion in Section 32 funds that it could use for SNAP. Today, the U.S. District Court of Rhode Island ruled that the administration must immediately restore full benefits to families, including the 5.5 million California recipients.

Yea, I'm sadly so doubtful of this administration's compliance of court orders I just can never be sure it's really happening. Ah how far we've fallen.

And hours later it's reversed by Scotus temporarily.

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.

After a Boston appeals court declined to immediately intervene, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued an order late Friday pausing the requirement to distribute full SNAP payments until the appeals court rules on whether to issue a more lasting pause. Jackson handles emergency matters from Massachusetts.

Her order will remain in place until 48 hours after the appeals court rules, giving the administration time to return to the Supreme Court if the appeals court refuses to step in.

Man I'm glad California moved quickly but this is a cluster...
