#Trump admin seeks to halt #SNAP #food #aid payments after a #CourtOrder

Trump’s admin asked a federal appeals court Friday to block a judge’s order that it distribute November’s full monthly SNAP benefits amid a #US govt #shutdown, even as at least some states said they were moving quickly to get the money to people.

US District Judge John J. McConnell Jr. had given #Trump’s admin until Friday to make the #SNAP payments. But Trump’s admin instead asked the appeals #court to suspend any #CourtOrders requiring it to spend more money than is available in a contingency fund.

The #Agriculture Department said in a statement that the report had become “overly politicized, & upon subsequent review, is unnecessary to carry out the work of the department.”🤯

The department will issue a final report next month covering 2024, based on a survey from last year, but will cease fielding future surveys, according to the statement.

In a sharp break with precedent, #Trump has aggressively contested sources of government #data that he thinks casts his policies in a negative light. Last month, after a weak #jobs report, he fired the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor #Statistics, claiming with no evidence that the data was “rigged.”

The department’s report has been published every year for 3 decades, & grew in part out of battles in the 1980s over President Ronald Reagan’s statements disputing that the #US had a #hunger problem.

The most recent report found that in 2023, 13.5% of households, w/ 47M people, were #FoodInsecure, meaning that during some portion of the year, not every member of household had access to enough #food for a healthy lifestyle.

This is crazy.

#Trump Admin to Stop Measuring #FoodInsecurity

The move strips the government of its main gauge of #hunger in America, & will impede efforts to track the impact of #aid cuts [that’s the plan].
