Which is exactly what was done.

If a Federal judge orders you to stand on your toes and touch the moon, is the proper response to appeal or to tell him to fuck himself?

Asking for a friend.

The SCOTUS doesn’t gaze about searching for rulings to overturn. An appeal has to appear on their docket before they (possibly) agree to consider it.

I think a lot of this stuff with lower courts trying to block Trump gets fast-tracked up to the SCOTUS.

Supreme Court grants Trump administration last minute order blocking food benefits for millions

By STEPHEN M. LEPORE, US SENIOR REPORTER
PUBLISHED: 20:31 EST, 7 November 2025 | UPDATED: 22:12 EST, 7 November 2025

The Trump administration got a victory Friday as the Supreme Court upheld its emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP payments amid the government shutdown.

A judge had given the White House until Friday to make the payments through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

But the administration asked the appeals court to suspend any court orders requiring it to spend more money than is available in a contingency fund, and instead allow it to continue with planned partial SNAP payments for the month.

After a Boston appeals court declined to immediately intervene, liberal Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued an order late Friday pausing the requirement to distribute full SNAP payments until the appeals court rules on whether to issue a more lasting pause. Jackson handles emergency matters from Massachusetts.

After the appeals court declined to do so, the Trump administration quickly asked the US Supreme Court to take up its request which it approved.

The Daily Mail has reached out to the White House for comment.

The food program serves about 1 in 8 Americans, mostly with lower incomes.

Officials in more than a half-dozen states confirmed that some SNAP recipients already were issued full November payments on Friday.

The state was able to access the federal money so quickly by submitting a request to its electronic benefit card vendor to process the SNAP payments within hours of a Thursday court order to provide full benefits.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek, a Democrat, said state employees 'worked through the night' to issue full November benefits 'to make sure every Oregon family relying on SNAP could buy groceries' by Friday.

Hawaii had the information for November's monthly payments ready to go, so it could submit it quickly for processing after Thursday's court order - and before a higher court could potentially pause it, Joseph Campos II, deputy director of Hawaii´s Department of Human Services, told The Associated Press.

'We moved with haste once we verified everything,' Campos said.

Trump's administration told the Supreme Court that the fast-acting states were 'trying to seize what they could of the agency´s finite set of remaining funds, before any appeal could even be filed, and to the detriment of other States´ allotments.'

'Once those billions are out the door, there is no ready mechanism for the government to recover those funds,' Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote in the court filing.

Officials in California, Washington state, Kansas, New Jersey and Pennsylvania also said they moved quickly to issue full SNAP benefits Friday, while other states said they expected full benefits to arrive over the weekend or early next week.

Still others said they were waiting for further federal guidance.

The court wrangling prolonged weeks of uncertainty for Americans with lower incomes.

An individual can receive a monthly maximum food benefit of nearly $300 and a family of four up to nearly $1,000, although many receive less than that under a formula that takes into consideration their income.

For some SNAP participants, it remained unclear when they would receive their benefits.

Because of the federal government shutdown, the Trump administration originally had said SNAP benefits would not be available in November.

However, two judges ruled last week that the administration could not skip November's benefits entirely because of the shutdown.

One of those judges was US District Judge John J. McConnell Jr., who ordered the full payments Thursday.

In both cases, the judges ordered the government to use one emergency reserve fund containing more than $4.6billion to pay for SNAP for November but gave it leeway to tap other money to make the full payments, which cost between $8.5billion and $9billion each month.

On Monday, the administration said it would not use additional money, saying it was up to Congress to appropriate the funds for the program and that the other money was needed to shore up other child hunger programs.

Thursday´s federal court order rejected the Trump administration´s decision to cover only 65 percent of the maximum monthly benefit, a decision that could have left some recipients getting nothing for this month.

In its court filings Friday, Trump´s administration contended that the judge usurped both legislative and executive authority in ordering SNAP benefits to be fully funded.

'This unprecedented injunction makes a mockery of the separation of powers,' Sauer told the Supreme Court.

Some states said they stood ready to distribute SNAP money as quickly as possible.

Colorado and Massachusetts said SNAP participants could receive their full November payments as soon as Saturday.

New York said access to full SNAP benefits should begin by Sunday. New Hampshire said full benefits should be available by this weekend.

Arizona and Connecticut said full benefits should be accessible in the coming days.

Officials in North Carolina said they distributed partial SNAP payments Friday and full benefits could be available by this weekend. Officials in Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana and North Dakota also said they distributed partial November payments.

Amid the federal uncertainty, Delaware's Democratic Governor Matt Meyer said the state used its own funds Friday to provide the first of what could be a weekly relief payment to SNAP recipients.

I don't know what part of supplemental and assistance is not clear.

When SCOTUS tells Trump he can't use tariffs are part of the emergency powers, he can simply ban imports of specific goods from specific countries, or set quotas on amount of goods imported. NONE of these actions are taxes, but will have the same effect.

Actually no. Tariffs and quotas may both raise prices that is where the similarities end. Tariffs are revenue to the gonernment while quotas raise prices by limiting supply thus increasing profits of the suppliers.

Limiting Chinese cell phone imports while not restricting South Korean phone imports will favor South Korean phones. Prices may go up some overall, if total market supply cannot meet total demand. But as long as there are substitutes available and sufficient total capacity, prices should not change that much.

Setting a quote on American cars/trucks built in Mexico/Canada and imported to the U.s., will force production back to the U.S.

But in any case, if that's what Trump has available, that's what he will use, or threaten to use. He's not just walking away from this.

The democrats clamored for tariffs for decades to protect American labor jobs. Now that Trump is doing it they have to oppose it because they hate Trump. They are morally bankrupt with no actual principles, even when they get what they said they wanted.

How's about that?

did the court rule on tariffs yet?

Too little, too late.

“The BBC is set to apologise over a Panorama episode that used an edited clip of Donald Trump's speech about the US Capitol riots - after the White House accused the broadcaster of spreading '100 per cent fake news'. 

The apology letter is reportedly expected to come from BBC chairman Samir Shah, addressing the doctored Trump footage in a letter to Culture Committee chair Dame Caroline Dinenage early next week. 

It follows revelations that a memo by Michael Prescott, a former external adviser to the BBC's editorial standards committee, raised alarm in the summer over the way the speech had been 'doctored'.

Prescott said the corporation 'mangled' the clip to make it appear as if the former US President had encouraged the January 6 violence. …”

Trump Announces $2,000 'Tariff Dividend' To Be Paid To Most Americans

President Donald Trump on Sunday announced that most Americans would receive a dividend payment of "at least" $2,000 - paid out of US tariff revenues.

"A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone," Trump posted on Truth Social, adding that tariffs have brought in "trillions of dollars," and that 401(k) accounts are the "Highest EVER." He also claimed that the tariffs had caused "No inflation."

"People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS!" he continued.

I guessed correctly.

President Trump is having a big effect on the MSM!

“BBC director general Tim Davie and CEO of News Deborah Turness resign over Trump documentary edit


It comes after the Telegraph published details of a leaked internal BBC memo suggesting Panorama edited two parts of Trump's speech together so he appeared to explicitly encourage the Capitol Hill riots of January 2021

It is a far bigger scandal than the doctored video of President Trump.

There was an LGBTQ#!_$@GNWEOFWIR)#@ desk that refused to air any material, including coming from the Tavistock Scandal that was ignored and allowed to be fully biased in its coverage.

There was an internal report on the efforts to silence conservative voices that was ignored.


ALL of this comes from leaked internal BBC documents.

If the event in court is being sentenced on a criminal conviction stand at attention on your toes if necessary unless you enjoy doing time.
