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.

Who will enforce the ruling?

No one. And when they don't do it, not a single fucking one of them will be held accountable for defing court orders.

And that’s what orangeboi will use as his excuse to invoke the insurrection act, which means this was always part of the plan in that regard.

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.

The judges, while entirely bought and paid for, might at least be smart enough to realize that starving their own population is probably not going to end the way anyone really wants
