#Roomies, the Supreme Court has stepped in and temporarily blocked a judge’s order that would’ve required the Trump administration to fund SNAP benefits during the ongoing government shutdown fully.

Apnews reports a lower court ruled that the administration needed to release full payments through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Still, officials pushed back, saying they don’t have enough money in the emergency fund to cover it all. _________________________________
This comes after a Boston appeals court declined to intervene immediately. Supreme Court Justice
#KetanjiBrownJackson issued an order late Friday pausing the requirement to distribute full SNAP payments until the appeals court rules on whether to issue a more lasting pause. Jackson handles emergency matters from Massachusetts.

The pause will last at least 48 hours...
