and this might be one of the most direct violations of separation of government in a while, or just utterly nanners judicial activism run amok

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/06/judge-orders-trump-administration-to-pay-full-snap-benefits-00640627

Judge John J McConnell ordered the Trump administration to pay 100% of SNAP benefits for November, using money that doesn't exist.
He apparently gave no indication of how the fuck he plans to pay for his judgment, and I guess SNAP beneficiaries are supposed to line up at his door like trick or treaters
The emergency fund only provides for ~65% of SNAP benefits for November and will leave nothing in reserve for December or beyond, hence the feds declaring they'd pay 65% of benefits using this fund.

as far as I can tell looking at reports of his orders, there's just no explanation of where the money is supposed to come from. The government is just ordered to rub a quarter against a dollar and see if washington and tubman can breed

What separation of government violation are you speaking of? SNAP benefits are funded by the government through USDA.

No, they aren't funded, and that's the issue. A judge cannot just declare a program to be funded, congress must pass an appropriation bill to fund it.

When do the people acknowledge a couple huge elephants in the room with the shutdown beyond some soda and snacks?


There are clear 13th amendment violations occuring daily.

There is taxation without representation given that government delegated it's duties as representatives to agencies/departments that are now offlined.

Other parts of government flailing around like the judge ruling out of his swim lane.

USDA had to be order to use emergency funds
Trump had no problem putting big tariffs up, he could easily use that money to finish funding snap, the tariff is literally money the people of the USA have paid so why not give it back to the people?

Why not use the pentagon's budget? Why not use the federal worker's pension funds? Why not send marines to seize Lanai from Larry Ellison, auction off the island and use it to pay for 1-2 days of SNAP benefits nationwide
The power to appropriate funds is exclusively a power of congress. They authorized SNAP benefits up through October, and those funds are gone. They authorized an emergency fund, which only covered 65% of a single month's benefits.
There is no congressional appropriation to fund SNAP through any other funds.

No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.

so Trump's tariffs were find even though he's suppose to go through congress? But using the funds he's obtained illegally from the American people is wrong?

Congress passed an authorization for the president to have the power to enact such tariffs, and the bounds of it were being argued in front of the supreme court just yesterday.
Do you understand the difference between "Congress hasn't appropriated money, so it can't be spent" and "Congress gives the president the power to impose a tariff, which he does"
Give you a hint, it has to do with congressional approval

If you want SNAP funded, contact your democratic representatives and tell them to fund SNAP
