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.
Edit: I am no longer filled with disgust about this particular choice as I see that in doing this, Justice Brown has, quite counterintuitively, most likely made it so that people get food sooner.

Don’t forget, Republicans are the pro-starvation party.
