Trump administration must fund SNAP payments during the shutdown, judges rule
Two federal judges ruled nearly simultaneously on Friday that President Donald Trump’s administration must continue to fund SNAP, the nation’s biggest food aid program, using contingency funds during the government shutdown.
It wasn’t immediately clear how quickly the debit cards that beneficiaries use to buy groceries could be reloaded after the ruling. That process often takes one to two weeks.
Vote in 2026, flip the House, get a 67 Seat Democratic majority in the Senate, impeach him a 3rd time and actually remove him this time, followed by his mandated jail time on his felony convictions.
i dont think many senate seats are up for grabs, its the house seats. until '28 there will be more senate seats in trouble. hence why some of the DNC are so confidant in supporting the Israel genocide of gaza, thier seats are safe.
33 seats up for election in 2026:

Ordinarily I’d say most of these are safe, but if the No Kings can draw out enough people? Maybe?
You do know that none of that is going to happen, right?
Well the question was “what do you think we should do about it”, that’s what I think we should do. 😉
OK, fine. What do you think is likely to happen? And, when that likely thing happens… What do you think we should do about it then?
Most likely event is Trump dies from a stroke before anything meaningful can happen. Then we vote out J.D. Vance in 2028.
vance is currently allegedly wooing ERIKA kirk to be his potential first lady, since she unlike usha who is aethist, she is a good “trad wife”
Trump’s mother died at 88, and his father died at 93. I don’t think Trump (who’s 79) is in as poor of health as people have been speculating. I’d be genuinely surprised if he had a major stroke anytime soon.
hes only really overweight, possibly pre-diabetic, doubtful he has any serious symptoms. although he might have circulatory problems. trump is also a extreme germaphobe so he mostly goes the doctor the instant has any “disease”, rather than blow it off.
Plus, anyone who slurs their words as much as Trump does is 3/4’s out the door anyway.
OK, if you’re just going to tell me to fuck off just say fuck off
If you have something to say just say it. Don’t goad someone else to say it on your behalf.
If I say it, he will ban me
Although technically this is news and not politics
That could go so many ways
@tornavish@lemmy.cafe @snausagesinablanket@lemmy.world All I know at this point is the orange man isn’t gonna be there, or so he says.
He won’t die until his 90s
@tornavish@lemmy.cafe I meant in office— I saw an NPR article claming (I say claiming, beacuse we already know he gonna try to subvert the rules when he knows his stance will corrode his ego) that he would not run for another term.
We all know he’s going to stay in office
@tornavish@lemmy.cafe let’s hope he’s smart. But honestly…
Don’t forget letters to the editor of your local paper.
You know who actually reads those?
