"Earlier this week, a federal judge in Rhode Island ruled that the Trump administration must fully fund SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans, stating that the government "failed to consider the harms individuals who rely on those benefits would suffer.""
"However, on Friday, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson temporarily halted that ruling to allow an appeals court time to review the case, after the U.S. Department of Agriculture appealed it."
""I have zero sympathy for people who knowingly set their own house on fire and then complain about being homeless," user NoCardiologist1461 said."
""They keep posting to him personally like he looks at that shit," user RogerClynelsAGod2 wrote. "They need to get off the internet and get in touch with their local senator and congress reps that have an (R) after their name and yell at them because they're the ones that are holding this shit up.""
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to fully fund SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans, citing failure to consider harms to benefit recipients. The U.S. Department of Agriculture appealed, and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson temporarily halted the ruling to allow an appeals court review.

Some recipients expressed embarrassment about seeking grocery help and declared they would forgo benefits. Social media responses included unsympathetic comments and calls to pressure Republican senators and representatives over the delay.
