A deal in Congress to end the government shutdown includes full SNAP funding through September and could mean the Supreme Court will not have to issue a ruling later.

With a potential end to the government shutdown in sight, the Supreme Court on Tuesday extended a freeze on a federal judge’s ruling that would require the Trump administration to fully fund the SNAP food program in November.

The decision means the government, for now, does not have to distribute about $4 billion in additional SNAP funding as required by Rhode Island-based U.S. District Judge John McConnell. The Supreme Court block remains in place until midnight on Thursday.

The case would likely become moot if the shutdown ends, as the bipartisan bill to reopen the government would fully fund the SNAP program through September of next year. The House is expected to vote Wednesday on the Senate-passed measure to end the record-long shutdown.

            There is a grassroots effort to expose mathematically that the election was tampered with, but now I can’t find a peep about it neither through google, through AI, or any other means, which I find pretty weird. It’s like a lot of people involved, high profile academics looking at the numbers and all agreeing there was some fuckery going on, but apparently that shit has been scrubbed.

            Edit: After a bunch of digging, I found it. If you know anything about math or statistics, please take a look at the stats from the election, and come back and tell me there is nothing fishy going on.

            Edit2: And yes, I know, this sounds a lot like what MAGA was doing in 2008 and 2012 and 2020 and so on, which I, personally believe is an admission of guilt of what they were doing. They have always been ready to play dirty, and they have always accused the other side of being the violators, because that’s what hyper narcissists do- they blame you for their immorality, and say it’s only because “they know” that we do it that they do it. Old as time. Trump tried to overthrow the election with a violent coup in 2020, yet in 2024 he decided to play by the rules?

            I have lived on the streets, like for real. I know a scam when I see one, I know how it works. And I see it here, clear as day.
