While the legacy media is sucking up to Donald Trump, this is what Democracy Docket has been covering all day. If you value independent, pro-democracy media, please support it today. It has no corporate overlords, venture capitalists, or billionaire backers. It relies on just you! hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

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.

Case 1:25-cv-13165-IT
Document 48
Filed 11/03/25
Page 2 of 4
Defendants provide the following response to the Court's order, dated October 31, 2025, stating: "No later than Monday, November 3, 2025, Defendants shall advise the court whether they will authorize at least reduced SNAP benefits for November and, if so, their timeline for determining whether to authorize only reduced SNAP benefits using the Contingency Funds or to authorize full SNAP benefits using both the Contingency Funds and additional available funds." Doc No. 26 at 15. In that Order, the Court, "clarified that Defendants are required to use those Contingency Funds as necessary for the SNAP program." Id at 14 (emphasis removed). Nearly simultaneously, a court in the District of Rhode Island issued an oral ruling ordering Federal Defendants to use the entire long-term emergency fund for benefits and to consider using other sources of funds. See Rhode Island State Council Of Churches et al. v. Rollins at al., 1:25-er-569 (D. R.I.).
The attached declaration, which was also filed in the District of Rhode Island litigation, represents the U.S. Department of Agriculture's ("USDA") response to the two Court orders. USDA is making all of the Contingency Funds available to the States for a partial payment. The declaration includes details on how USDA will fulfill its obligation to expend the full amount of SNAP contingency funds today by generating the table required for States to calculate the benefits available for each eligible household in that State. 7 CFR. 271.7(d)(1); Supp. Declaration of Patrick A. Penn, 2-6, 24-31. USDA will therefore have made the necessary funds available and have authorized the States to begin disbursements once the table is issued. The declaration also explains why USDA has chosen not to deplete other vital programs to fully fund this month's SNAP benefits.
USDA stands ready to assist States as they implement this process.
Dated: November 3, 2025
Respectfully submitted,
STANLEY …

SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Biden’s disastrous term in office (Due to the fact that they were haphazardly “handed” to anyone for the asking, as opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP!), will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT

ICE is now using facial recognition software— including on American citizens — to detain people its app concludes are in the country illegally.

This, as Trump says ICE raids "haven't gone far enough."

Connect the dots: No one is safe from Trump's tyranny.

According to new NBC and ABC/Ipsos polls, Trump's approval ratings — especially on the economy and cost of living — are now in the negative double digits.

Remember: Trump is a failing president.

He is not all powerful.
