NEW: The Trump administration asks the Supreme Court to stop — by 9:30 tonight — the court orders requiring payment of full November SNAP benefits.

NEW: Trump admin goes to SCOTUS to try and stop order that it pay full SNAP benefits this month DOJ asks the justices for an order by 9:30 p.m. Friday — as USDA was in the middle of completing its process for making full payments, under a court order to finish Friday. Now at Law Dork:

The Trump administration is fighting against churches in court, churches who are suing them in order to restore food stamps to poor people.

So much “winning.”

OMG

Um, @variety.com? That’s…not what that means. 😳 variety.com/2025/music/n...

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Important reporting, but I want to know more about the officers being put in their place. That's the really scary stuff.

This is acting like a pure money laundering operation. They reported losing another $54 million last quarter. It has never made money. Investor money is just flying out the back door faster than in comes in to enrich a lot of shysters and grifters.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

So to cap their horrible week, Senate Republicans refused a deal to reopen the government in exchange for just helping people with health insurance and now the president wants the Supreme Court to say he doesn’t have to obey the law and feed the hungry. Amazing.

NEW: Trump is asking Supreme Court to act by 9:30pm tonight to block the ruling that requires SNAP payments to be made.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Cruelty really is the point. Who else would go to court begging for permission to starve their own citizens? Meanwhile, they send $40 billion to Argentina, buying two private jets for ICE “Barbie,” and Trump has already burned through $1 trillion in less than two months.

Emergency Press Conference: Update on the government shutdown and health care from Senator Gary Peters.

Something smells very fishy in this DOJ action: What do actions of Brennan, Strzok and Page who left office several years before MAL search have to do with the southern district of Florida? Likely takes a bogus omnibus-conspiracy theory to get there, as this report indicates.

Trump is now fighting in the Supreme Court to stop SNAP hunger payments, which affects one in four kids in America, as well as seniors and people with disabilities. Trump also left for Mar-a-Lago, and wow have you seen his gilded gold bathroom sinks?

A federal appeals court has rejected a last-minute attempt by the Trump administration to block SNAP funding during the government shutdown. Now, in true Trump fashion, Trump is crying to the Supreme Court.

The. Supreme. Court. @politico.com #SNAP www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

The Trump administration asks the Supreme Court to stop by 9:30 tonight the court orders requiring payment of full November SNAP benefits.

The talking point they came up with is so lame and pathetic. Yes, insurance premiums are paid to insurance companies. Yes, the subsidies help low and low-middle income people afford to pay them. That’s how the ACA works. Just admit you want to raise premiums on 22 million people.

Trump on SNAP: “Our country has to remain very liquid because of problems, catastrophes, wars… We have to remain liquid. We can’t give everything away.” REMINDER: Trump just have $40 billion away to Argentina.

Wow. This is FANTASTIC. Well done.

The “thou must starve thy fellow man” commandment must be exclusive to the Trump Bible

They're going to the highest court in the land to avoid feeding children.

the fury i feel is indescribable.

Trump: - Doesn’t want to talk about prices or employment. - Is asking SCOTUS *right now* to let him stop funding SNAP so he can use hunger as a weapon. - Is still lying about trillions of dollars in tariffs. All while he builds a ballroom and remodels the White House.

Went to the other site to see whether folks were trying to explain away that Supreme Court filing. I regret to tell you, yes they were

UPDATE: Trump is asking the Supreme Court to recind the order to feed hungry Americans (SNAP) by 9:30 tonight. Not only unbelievable but deeply un-American. This is not America first. Marjorie, why are you so quiet? Over 141,000 of your constituents depend on this in NWGA.

fine. keep it shut. Trump's approval seems to drop every week this goes on. rollcall.com/2025/11/07/r...

Don’t worry, they’re still extremely tough on preschool teachers.

Thank you for reaching out to us, @marisakabas.bsky.social

the president is demanding the nation’s highest court let him starve american citizens, in case you’re wondering where we are right now www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

NEWS — Pres. Trump escalates fight to withhold food stamp benefits to Supreme Court Clearly he hasn’t learned the lesson from this week’s elections. Ballroom-building dictator trying to starve kids = unpopular.

Keep track of the victories when they come

#BREAKING: The Trump administration is asking #SCOTUS for an immediate “administrative” stay of a Rhode Island district judge’s order that is otherwise requiring it to resume the distribution of SNAP benefits from other funding sources no later than the end of today.

Question Presented: Can the President illegally withhold mandatory Congressional appropriations from States because he thinks it's politically advantageous to starve people? The answer is plainly "no" but there are several guaranteed "yes" votes on SCOTUS, potentially even a majority.

The prosecutors presented the plot as part of Operation Fox Hunt, a decade-long push that Chinese officials claim is aimed at repatriating fugitives. The Justice Department contended that the campaign was part of the Communist Party’s push to control Chinese nationals around the world.

Breaking: A federal appeals court just denied a last-minute bid by the Trump admin to temporarily halt some SNAP funding during the shutdown.

Karma is a fucking bitch.

BREAKING: First Circuit denies DOJ's request for an administrative stay of the SNAP benefits TRO out of Rhode Island. DOJ's stay request remains pending, and the panel is working on a ruling on that.

This move by Democrats today (which I called for 2 weeks ago) really exposed the Republican position. It smoked them out in the open. They refuse to extend the ACA subsidies which will cause insurance premiums to go up for 22 million people. It’s not about anything else.

You know who can end this Shutdown Bullshit within 2 days? ATC The should walk out, they aren't getting paid but the politicians who are using them are. They deserve better. Show these rich bitches the tail doesn't wag the dog.

Here's the official letter from the USDA confirming that it is restoring benefits #SNAP benefits in November. Country to claims on X, Trump administration has not dropped the appeal, but is complying while the appeal moves forward. #SNAP #appeal

A federal judge has ruled that the partisan language the Trump admin added to the out-of-office emails of furloughed Education Department employees violates their First Amendment rights.

The Chicago area has an endless supply of suburban moms and dads, and we've all had to sit through late-season soccer games while it's sleeting. Getting arrested protesting barbarity is a cakewalk by comparison. (Massive kudos to these moms.) ‪@NewsJennifer (Jennifer Schulze)‬

🚨BREAKING: New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) Friday asked a federal judge to dismiss the felony charges against her, arguing that President Donald Trump and his political appointees at the Department of Justice (DOJ) are selectively and vindictively prosecuting her.
