Two federal judges in the United States have ruled that the administration of President Donald Trump cannot suspend food assistance to low-income individuals, signalling that the government must draw from contingency funds as a government shutdown drags on.

Friday’s decisions were released within minutes of one another, and both concerned the fate of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP.

No one. And when they don't do it, not a single fucking one of them will be held accountable for defing court orders.

And that’s what orangeboi will use as his excuse to invoke the insurrection act, which means this was always part of the plan in that regard.
