Tiny lil' thread on SNAP during the shutdown. Yesterday, I reported that the Trump admin's approach to food stamps -- and a court's directive to pay them -- would mean millions of people would get $0 or as little as $12 www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/u...

NEW: Millions of poor Americans could see $0 in SNAP benefits even after the Trump admin agreed to resume partial benefits in response to a court order. This is because of the way the government has interpreted the directive, which could also delay aid for weeks. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/u...

wait. what.

The White House is now trying to walk back the president's threat. Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said the administration is "fully complying" with the court order.

truthfully, I do not know if the Trump admin is violating a court order on SNAP right now, there is an extreme amount of uncertainty about what is happening. but we may learn more as the day unfolds.

NEW: Trump now says he will not pay food stamps in November, even though his admin told a court yesterday it would make partial payments. The benefits are once again in jeopardy, as officials are back at court, seeking to force the release of full aid. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/u...

I did The Daily today to talk about SNAP, but don’t listen to it because of me. Listen to today’s episode to hear the voices of real people who use food stamps, who speak about the ways this shutdown has inflicted real pain in their lives www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/p...

NEW: The Trump administration will send partial payments this month to the roughly 42 million Americans who receive food stamps, offering only a temporary and limited reprieve to low-income families as the government shutdown rapidly approaches its sixth week. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

NEW: Almost six weeks in, Trump's shutdown strategy is clear: He's willing to stretch the budget, but only for political gain and retribution. For others, like the 42 million on food stamps, he has offered no relief, and sought to enact cuts Congress did not approve www.nytimes.com/2025/11/02/u...

One day after ordering the Trump administration to continue funding food stamps during the shutdown, a federal court gave the government a choice. It can either make full payments by Monday, or partial payments by Wednesday, to spare low-income Americans from hardship.

i have extremely mixed conflicted views about the new florence, whomst i love and have seen multiple times now, and i just dont know about this one

NEW: With food stamps facing staggering cuts in days, the Trump admin is facing off in federal court against states, which have sued to force the release of aid during the shutdown. In court filings, the gov't said it has billions of dollars it can't or won't spend www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/u...

Finally, someone at the WH press briefing asks if the Trump admin will try to use tariff revenues for SNAP, as it has previously done for WIC. Leavitt did not answer the question either way.
