US supreme court issues emergency order blocking full Snap food aid payments (www.theguardian.com)

The supreme court has issued an emergency order temporarily blocking full Snap food aid payments.

The high court’s order came after the Trump administration asked a federal appeals court on Friday to block a judge’s order that it distribute November’s full monthly food stamp benefits amid a US federal government shutdown.

After that request to block was denied, the Trump administration turned to the supreme court in a further attempt to block the order to fully fund Snap food aid payments.

The application to stay reads: “If forced to transfer funds to Snap to make full November allotments, there is no means for the government to recoup those expenditures – which is quintessential irreparable harm. Once those payments are made, there is every indication that the States will promptly disburse them. And once disbursed, the government will be un-able to recover any funds. Worse, these harms will only compound if the decision below stands.

It's extremely encouraging. I love that the people he is abusing aren't just slinking away like the MAGAs expected (because thats how cowardly MAGAs would behave), they are firing back.

That's the legal world, which isn't known for cooperation. So what are the fired Generals doing? They are known for lockstep organization, and I doubt they are slinking away away, either. Generals aren't usually known for their lack of courage, but they are known for their ability to keep quiet about their plans. If the lawyers are organizing against MAGA, it's a pretty good bet that the Generals are, too.

I wish! Every time a MAGA gets busted for something terrible or ruins themselves, they end up with published ghostwritten books full of their whining and excessive airtime on FOX News and various nutter podcasts. Lol

But yes what these lawyers are doing sounds FAR more productive and that's awesome. :D
