BOSTON (AP) — 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.

A judge had given the Republican administration until Friday to make the payments through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. But the administration asked the 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.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.

    here will be no punishment too severe for these monsters.

    We’re in end game now. We will not take back the government. 2025 was a feel-good moment but 2026 will be stolen. Civil war 2 AI boogaloo is the only chance for The People to take back our power after that.

      Nope, historically, these guys never win for long. Eventually they fall, and it is ALWAYS very bad for them. Ask Hitler, Mussolini, Ceausescu, Gadhafi, and countless other dictators whose last day in office coincided with their deaths
