7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

I dunno why it says "If SNAP goes dark" becuase it already did go dark. It's already been a week woth no payments and it looks like nothing is going to change that. SNAP has already "gone dark".
judges are forcing the USDA to pay snap this month… latest ruling was by today.
it’s not dark yet
Judge says something.
Trump admin says "no lol"
Don't count your chickens until they hatch. Or in this case, don't count your SNAP until it's actually in your pocket.
it’s in my pocket right now. it was fully funded today.
Awesome I'm happy for you and everybody else who needs it
I'm truly shocked that they actually paid. That's some good news. I'm glad the people in need are getting when we owe them.
My mothers has not been paid nor is pending. Some states used state funding to pay out, most have not.
Yeah I’m always saddened to see anecdotal “it works for me” or “it doesn’t work for me” comments about something like this, where it’s super complex and until we know the rules are in place and enforced, we should assume it is not working for those who need it.
Justice Department announced they are appealing, so who knows?
A piece of paper is worthless. Can't buy anything with that.
Oh yes this administration has such respect.
read the news, the usda paid up today
Tell that to the people without food.
Never call it a good day while the sun is still up.
So odd seeing libs talk you down in this thread, and not do basic research.
I haven't really been following all of this because I don't need SNAP (yet), but it seems like it's not hard to figure this out with Google.
Hopefully more states figure out how to allocate the USDA's emergency funds before more people starve.
it’s doomer stuff i think… they can only scream about how horrible everything is.
if anything good happens, no it didn’t.
that or bots.
seems like a bot thing to not have live google access
SCOTUS already overturned it
~~no they didn’t~~
It's literally all over the news: https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-administration-asks-appeals-court-promptly-halt-ruling/story?id=127294307
yep, i saw that and: fuck… fucking fucks….
seems like some will still be funded?
Happy Thanksgiving, btw
The article is from Oct 29. I doubt the SNAP situation is news to many on the fediverse. I shared it more so because A) What a tone deaf headline, and B) To share the epiphany it caused me.
California is paying full SNAP benefits starting this morning. California cares. Trump, Mike Johnson, and The entire GOP couldn't give less fucks about anyone else.
It's the Democrats fault because they won't cancel health care so we have to cancel food assistance - every republican I know
