The USDA says funding is already going to states while the government wages a legal battle to freeze it

I am filled with disgust.

The Supreme Court is temporarily blocking a judge’s order requiring Donald Trump’s administration to fully fund a critical food assistance program that has stranded millions of Americans and their families after the government failed to keep it afloat at the start of the month.

And a nontrivial amount of confusion

But the administration is simultaneously telling states that it will immediately begin funding the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program after a weeklong lapse — the first in the program’s 61-year history.

I’m wondering how they’re going to use this opportunity to continue to prioritize cruelty.
