What’s interesting is that yesterday, Brooke Rollins as the Department of Agriculture head said it would abide by a court order to at least pay partial benefits.
Maybe the party Trump threw the other day, Great Gatsby style, has affected his head more than usual. Really, Trump is a huge creep and the people that support him and his party are horrible. The Trump administration is just cruel and surely NO ONE that calls themselves a good, moral person can be for starving citizens who already PAID for this.
DOJ and USDA: Yes, your honor, we will comply with your order and make partial SNAP payments out of the contingency fund. TRUMP: No we won't.

The hypocrisy of Christian nationalists not feeding the hungry
So let me see if I’ve got this right: According to
Christian nationalists, the evangelical church ought to have control
over America and run the government strictly by Christian principles.Why, then, are these same people unwilling to follow the clear
teaching of Jesus Christ? Why can these biblical literalists not
comprehend the unequivocal words of Jesus, who said, “When you feed the
hungry you feed me”? And why do these same biblical literalists suddenly
see all the references to “bread” in the Gospels as metaphors?Jesus talked a whole lot more about greed than about sex, marriage, doctrinal purity or beating immigrants into submission. Jesus talked a lot more about food and free banquets and bigger tables than about building golden ballrooms for the elite.
Once again, the problem with white Christian nationalism — as embodied by American evangelicals today — is that they’ve thrown Jesus overboard.
I’ve heard from some of you, dear readers, who were shocked at the headline on a news story yesterday: “Focus on the Family Opposes Free Meals in Schools.” We have not become the Onion; that’s a real headline on a real story expressing the real sentiment of evangelicals who can’t be bothered to do something Jesus clearly taught us to do.
And to double down on the hypocrisy, Focus on the Family opposes expanding free breakfast and lunch for hungry schoolchildren because they fear “Big Brother” encroaching on family life.
Last night, we went to the USDA building to send a big message to Trump: Half isn't good enough—FULLY fund SNAP. Trump has the power to stop this but chooses politics over people. One in eight families rely on SNAP, and half funding means hunger. Don't starve families so you can play politics.
