BREAKING: Federal judge in Mass. issues a new TRO in the SNAP benefits challenges, this one in the multistate challenge

BREAKING: Federal judge in Mass. issues a new TRO in the SNAP benefits challenges, this one in the multistate challenge, ordering that — at least — contingency fund payments be released by noon Thursday. She also continues blocking the 11/8 directive that states "undo" full SNAP benefit payments.

This is in addition to the TRO out of Rhode Island — ordering full benefit payments — that went up to the Supreme Court and is currently blocked by an administrative stay. (See: substack.com/@chrisgeidne... )

Here is Judge Talwani's new order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

...the money for that two grand doesn't exist. And it won't exist.
That's why Bessent immediately started backpedaling about "other forms" which was added nonsense because the cash flow is either there or it isn't. It isn't there.
Just more idiocy to distract from their ongoing abuses & failures.
