A federal judge on Monday blocked the Trump administration from allowing five states to ban the purchase of sugary drinks and candy with food stamps.

What if Trump limited SNAP to junk food only? 🤣

Show us which clause in the Constitution can we find the entitlement for SNAP/EBT? If the judge were actually versed in the Constitution, she’d rule against the program altogether.

“U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson serves on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and assumed senior status on May 1, 2023. Nominated by President Barack Obama in 2011”. That tells me all I need to know about Amy.

So Michelle Obama can remove sugary drinks from school lunch menus by fiat… but the HHS can’t do the same for food stamps?

When we had actual Food Stamps you couldn’t buy junk food with them.

Beans, Rice, Cheese, Powdered Milk should be available in boxes for people who qualify. No food stamps.

Trump is challenged every single order or action
They judge shop and win 2/3 rds

Then between appellate and supremes Trump prevails 90 plus %

It’s just harassment and slowing him down a bit

This will be vacated

Why the hell NOT? Its OUR money. We GAVE it to them. It comes with CONDITIONS. There are already MANY things that they can not buy with food stamps.

Federal Restrictions (National Baseline)

Nationally, you cannot purchase the following with SNAP EBT cards:

Hot & Prepared Foods: Food that is hot at the point of sale (e.g., rotisserie chickens, deli food ready for immediate consumption, or restaurant/fast-food meals).

Alcoholic Beverages & Tobacco: Beer, wine, liquor, cigarettes, and chewing tobacco.

Vitamins & Medicines: Anything with a “Supplement Facts” label, as well as over-the-counter medications and drugs.

Non-Food Items: Pet foods, household cleaning supplies, paper products (paper towels, toilet paper), hygiene products, and cosmetics.

Live Animals & Marijuana: Live animals (except live fish/shellfish) and foods containing controlled substances like CBD or cannabis.

So NOW will they also be able to buy all these things too?

Great judgement when you’re paying for both their food and healthcare.

Wrong argument.

We should stop EBT/"food stamps" and go back to the system of distributing surplus food to those who need it.

One judge and it is meaningless. This will go to appeal and eventually reach the Supreme Court who for the most part understood the Executive Branch has oversight over things that fall under the Executive Branch.

Time to end food to not work program. Don’t work. Don’t eat. If you are working then there is no need to take the food off my table.

Federal judge rules Trump admin can't prevent people from using food stamps for junk food

That is not in the United States Constitution.
