Supreme Court lets Trump pause full SNAP payments for now.
The upshot is that the US Department of Agriculture will not have to immediately honor a lower court order that required it to transfer $4 billion to the key food assistance program by the end of the day. The decision, while temporary, could put at risk the full benefits for millions of Americans who rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, to feed themselves and their families.

There is $4 billion available. There is money —lots of it —just sitting in some government fund. And all the while, millions of human beings are going hungry, will go hungry, and perhaps starve because people in power prefer to play politics rather than feed people.
Time, as if those who are hungry have the time to waste waiting to be fed. I do not understand, do not comprehend how anyone can pretend that people are going hungry, but somehow none of that matters, while the courts take their time to avoid this Pro-Death action easily.
Trump thinks he has a sinister tool to end the shutdown. Now the Supreme Court, acting as Gods, is also participating in avoiding a simple truth…people will go hungry…lots of innocent people will starve. What have we become as a nation, when the game playing involves playing with people’s lives?
