When there's actual enforcement, like seizing the money or using any kind of force, it matters. Until then,

"Old man yells at cloud".

I don't expect this ruling to have an effect. I went ahead and made a sizeable donation to my local food shelf anyway. I don't need that money to fund an expensive toy when I can help people stay fed.

I wish I could donate more, and I really hope this is somehow enforced. But DO NOT WAIT for magic money to appear. The people who need SNAP needed it on 11/01.

Or what? Literally OR...FUCKING...WHAT?

Alternate headline: Judge tries to save the poor from starvation and save Republicans from themselves.

Hi. Its me, Friday. How did this go?

California families starting to see SNAP benefits back on their cards

Democrats say Republicans could end the shutdown by agreeing to certain health care provisions, including an extension of Affordable Care Act tax credits.

Yes to this.

Keep it shut down and stay on that measage. Dems should not give in on this. RAISE THE SHIELD WALL, HOLD THE FRONT LINE

I donate to a local food bank to help those that need it while we hold the line. Please do the same.

I’ve been thinking of starting a new business where we sharpen guillotines. I think demand is going to high in the next few years.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 15 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

And he won't. Hell also claw back on his promise of half now because someone said he had to give it all. Welcome to being ruled by a toddler ya fucks!

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 13 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Toddlers have more empathy than Trump. A toddler with more food than they could possibly eat would share it with someone who is hungry.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 4 points 18 hours ago

We're currently in a drive-thru pickup line, and my 4 y.o. is having an absolute shitfit because his older sister...

He has more empathy than Trump.

There should be a "civil war" already.

The party of starving the poor.

[–] pleasejustdie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Considering that the states that Trump won in 2024 cover a majority of the SNAP participants, its quite likely that quite a few people on SNAP literally voted for this. And next month there won't be any backup funds for SNAP. Its going to be a very interesting, and hopefully eye-opening, Holiday experience for a lot of people... I know it will hurt a lot of my neighbors and relatives who voted for it a lot more than it will me.

[–] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 6 points 16 hours ago

…or it will yell stop again!

[–] tal@lemmy.today 5 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (2 children)

I think that there's a good argument that we need a review of programs and to explicitly indicate their status in law regarding funding when there's no budget ahead of time. Having all this worked out by courts at the last minute under extreme time pressure is a mess. Makes it much harder to plan.

Yes, ideally we'd never have shutdowns, but they do happen, and in the past few years we've had an unusually high number. Better to be prepared.

[–] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 14 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

In most EU countries, if there really is a blowup over the budget (much rarer than the US), the old budget remains in place until a new one is negotiated.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 14 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

A solution so obvious that the current US system must be intentionally shitty for some reason.

[–] nosuchanon@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

Do you us hasn’t had a real budget since Bill Clinton. Most everything else has been funded through continuing resolutions and temporary funding measures. There has not been a full budget past in decades.

It’s just another political tactic to slip in a bunch of really nasty shit in these continuing resolution bills Hold the opposition hostage until they get what they want.

Honestly these giant omnibus bills full of all kinds of shit that nobody reads and nobody knows what goes in there should be addressed.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 13 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

SNAP actually did that. There's an several billion dollar emergency buffer fund that was established for exactly this situation. Trump and his cronies decided to not use it though.

The judge is trying to make sure the plan that was established is followed instead of Trump getting to just choose who benefits from his whims

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 19 hours ago

He'll say all the money is gone, because he had to bail out a Russian yacht manufacturer, but it created a lot of jobs, and was very profitable. For Russians.

[–] Lemming6969@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

So they didn't do it. The buffer is just more money in the same bucket they just hope they don't have to use, but they have direct control over neither. Emergency powers should probably transfer to an impartial body of possible recipient analysts so funds cannot be used as political fodder.

Or else the head of the executive branch of the United States will enforce those orders. Oh wait...

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 0 points 21 hours ago

And if he doesnt they will tell him to do it in a slightly harsher tone.
