Judge Skeptical of Trump's Poor SNAP Logic, Not Endless War Spending
The Hill reports a judge raised an eyebrow at the Trump administration's convoluted reasoning for withholding SNAP funds, especially during a government shutdown. It appears denying food assistance to the nation's most vulnerable requires a higher evidentiary standard than, say, approving billions for foreign military adventures. One might wonder if the same judges scrutinize the logic behind, for
instance, a Congress that just approved millions more in military aid to Israel, despite a looming humanitarian crisis. While every penny for domestic welfare programs faces intense legal and political hurdles, the pipeline for weapons and foreign military financing flows with an almost unimpeded righteousness. It's a tale as old as time: austerity for our own, abundance for foreign conflicts.
Priorities, anyone?
