But is this going to do something? Federal courts have been pretty toothless during this whole thing.

On what grounds? Snap is a good thing but it seems entirely legal (not good) for it to be defunded during a government shutdown

Bro needs to put this in writing though because this DOJ doesn’t care about oral rulings

He’s just gonna appeal it until he gets to a circuit that will overturn it (or until it gets to the Supreme Court) and ignore it in the meantime

Congress already gave USDA $8 billion to use when funding isn’t sufficient and Trump’s Secretary of Agriculture is refusing to use their emergency funds

But is it illegal to not use emergency funds?

Until a higher court issues some ruling, stay, or TRO, whatever this judge says sticks. He has to comply (but probably won’t)

Another judge in Boston said it’s likely unlawful. Unclear what the reasoning for the Rhode Island judge’s TRO was besides irreparable harm (which is common). https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/31/snap-trump-judge-food-stamps-shutdown.html All I see in the court record is he issued an oral ruling and the reasoning is in the record. They’ll enter the transcript into the record on the next business day apparently Rhode Island State Council of Churches v. Rollins (1:25-cv-00569) is the case
