(Crankers) All the millions of people who are milking the SNAP system better start taking showers and filling out job applications. Now I’m not against people using the system WHEN THEY NEED HELP, but I am 100% against people LIVING OFF THE SYSTEM because they refuse to work for a better life.
Older people, people with disabilities, and anyone who needs temporary help – you’re fine. I hope you get the help you need.
But if you’re some big back chick who spends all of her money on fake nails and fake eyelashes and you have 12 kids and refuse to get a job, then this is for you. You need to get off your butt and GO TO WORK.
Here’s what happened that has the welfare queens up in arms this week. And I’m talking to you because you keep posting videos of yourselves stealing from stores because you don’t want to work, but you’re clearly able-bodied and can work, but you’re lazy and taking my tax money and that annoys me.
The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to temporarily withhold approximately $4 billion in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments, issuing an emergency stay that pauses a lower-court order requiring full funding of November benefits during the ongoing federal government shutdown.
The stay was issued by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who oversees emergency matters for the First Circuit. The decision does not resolve the underlying legal dispute but permits the administration to continue its partial freeze of SNAP benefits while the case proceeds through the appeals process.
The dispute began earlier this month when a federal district judge in Rhode Island ordered the administration to fully fund November SNAP payments, ruling that low-income families would experience “irreparable harm” if benefits were delayed or reduced. The judge said the government had lawful authority to use contingency funds to keep SNAP payments at their normal levels despite the shutdown.
The Trump administration immediately appealed the ruling, arguing that complying with the district judge’s order would violate budgetary limits and potentially force the redirection of funds intended for other programs. Administration lawyers told the court that the order “intruded on executive authority” and disrupted federal resource management during a period without congressional appropriations.
The Supreme Court’s emergency stay grants the administration temporary relief while the First Circuit evaluates the case on an expedited schedule. In practical terms, the decision allows the government to continue withholding full November SNAP payments, affecting an estimated 42 million Americans who rely on the program for food assistance.
Following the stay, the U.S. Department of Agriculture instructed states to halt or reverse full SNAP disbursements that may have already been issued in response to the lower-court ruling, calling those payments “unauthorized.” Several state agencies have reported confusion over how to adjust benefits already released to recipients.
The pause comes amid the longest federal government shutdown in U.S. history, during which numerous agencies and programs have been disrupted due to lapsed funding. SNAP typically requires annual appropriations from Congress, though emergency contingency funds can be used during short-term funding lapses. Whether those funds can legally be deployed during a prolonged shutdown is at the center of the current dispute.
The case raises broader constitutional questions about executive authority during a shutdown, including how far the federal government may go in delaying or redistributing funds when congressional appropriations have expired. Advocacy groups warn that the pause will have immediate consequences for millions of low-income households, including families with children, seniors, and individuals with disabilities.
The appeals court is expected to issue a decision in the coming weeks. If Congress passes new government funding in the meantime, the legal battle may become moot. Until then, states and recipients remain uncertain about when full SNAP benefits will resume.
