This is actually a pretty standard and unremarkable move, as evidenced by Justice Jackson issuing it.
But most people won't believe that for several good reasons.

#BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing a district court order that would've required the USDA to continue using contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits.
The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

With SNAP benefits going to shit because of rich assholes and corruption running rampant through politics I'd like to point your attention to a Clinton.

All the worrying that trans folks have had since he took office? This is why. This is the first step on a short road that ends with the criminalization of trans existence in the US. It isn't doomsaying. It isn't panic. It's right in front of us.

The White House plans to bar hospitals that treat transgender children and youth from getting any Medicare and Medicaid payments. The move would affect trans youth who have private insurance, too. n.pr/4qFa1mY

It’s not just that they don’t have to turn off SNAP benefits — they’re not legally allowed to. They legally must use the contingency fund.
The admin is pretending they can’t use it even though their own guidance from a month ago (that they’ve since deleted) contradicts that.

Yes, they’re using the shutdown to turn off SNAP benefits.
No, they don’t have to.

I was pleasantly surprised how my Dan Heng trio & Robin team did in Divergent Universe...granted I just did it in level V difficulty so it's not the super hard but I'm gonna try the harder difficulties to see how that works.
I'll elaborate further on their specs after testing.

The tinfoil's telling me that they want a way to establish hormone therapy as purely sexual because a) they feel like the pendulum's about to swing back on them and b) they want something prepared that they can use to keep blocking trans healthcare for the youth when it happens
when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence”
