Two federal judges in the United States have ruled that the administration of President Donald Trump cannot suspend food assistance to low-income individuals, signalling that the government must draw from contingency funds as a government shutdown drags on.

Friday’s decisions were released within minutes of one another, and both concerned the fate of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP.

Their evil knows no bounds. I am sure they will appeal and get a stay, or just ignore it. They don't seem to follow a rule of law or any sort of moral compass, and it appears that nobody will stop them.

They have a moral compass, but it's inverted.

Expect they will continue selectively funding states that fully submit to executive authority.
