Well well well…
Judge McConnell donated $700K to Democrats.
He runs nonprofit Crossroads Rhode Island that has received $128 million in government funding.
McConnell is now demanding POTUS Trump illegally fund SNAP.
After he tried to block DOGE cuts.
He’s a Dem activist.

As if we don’t already have a surplus of that.
Is that impeachable?
Say yes.
The Senate will never convict. He needs criminal charges.
Everyone now should just say:
“A pro-Trump judge”
“An anti-Trump judge”
and know that like a Roulette wheel outcome, it’s a gamble to get the judge you need in the biased jurisdictional area you need because “justice” isn’t involved, just PARTISANSHIP AND BIAS.
Ruthless Dems used every trick they could to get biased judges in their lawfare against Trump (and Roger Stone and others).
Now every lousy socialist judge who wants Trump removed from office is ruling on everything ICE, Hegseth in the fentanyl boat cases, redistricting lines, challenging fraudulent voters and the rest.
It is a cold civil war, except for the physical attacks on ICE and police and their families.
Lady Justice has a blindfold on but is listening to an earpiece with Bluetooth messages.
But of course.

wow! another millionaire communist
funny how so many rich folk are taking up the cause of the oppressed and downtrodden lumpenproletarian masses
but yes, it is a great path to more power and oppotunity to become the opperessor
$128,000,000 - $700,000 = Still has $127.3 MILLION...........
Short drop, sudden stop.
Yeah, it's Rhode Island.
With all that money laundering going on how does he have time to be a judge?
* 40% to the congresscritters and corruption
* 30% for programs and corruption
* 30% for military and corruption
Did anyone say “corruption” is the key word ?
Bump for later consideration...
McConnell is now demanding POTUS Trump illegally fund SNAP.
What law is the court violating? The administration appears to be unlawfully impounding available, appropriated funds. The U.S. District Court in Rhode Island ordered that the available appropriated funds must be used.
The USDA Lapse of Funding Plan was disappeared from its website near the end of October 2025.

U.S. Department of Agriculture
Lapse of Funding Plan
(As of September 30, 2025)
At 15:
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP): OMB’s General Counsel provided a letter to USDA on May 23, 2025 stating that there is a bona fide need to obligate benefits for October – the first month of the fiscal year – during or prior to the month of September, thereby guaranteeing that benefit funds are available for program operations even in the event of a government shutdown at the beginning of a fiscal year. In addition, Congressional intent is evident that SNAP’s operations should continue since the program has been provided with multi-year contingency funds that can be used for State Administrative Expenses to ensure that the State can also continue operations during a Federal Government shutdown. These multi-year contingency funds are also available to fund participant benefits in the event that a lapse occurs in the middle of the fiscal year. To fulfill this Congressional intent, it is necessary that a limited number of FNS employees be excepted from furlough to support program operations. These activities include, but are not limited to, program policy and operations, financial management, and stakeholder communications.
The administration faces a serious legal challenge to its withholding of SNAP contingency funds. Under the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, the federal government is legally obligated to furnish SNAP benefits to all eligible households. The statute’s use of the word “shall” is not optional; it is a directive. Therefore, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) must utilize all available resources, including the contingency reserve fund, to ensure uninterrupted benefit delivery.
The USDA’s refusal to deploy the $6 billion contingency fund during a lapse in appropriations appears to violate the letter and intent of the law. Previous USDA guidance has acknowledged that contingency funds are legally available mid-fiscal year to cover benefits during funding delays.
The law is clear: benefits “shall be provided.”
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/7/2013
7 U.S. Code § 2013(a)(1).
“Subject to the availability of funds appropriated under section 2027 of this title, the Secretary is authorized to formulate and administer a supplemental nutrition assistance program under which, at the request of the State agency, eligible households within the State shall be provided an opportunity to obtain a more nutritious diet through the issuance to them of an allotment…”
The contingency funds were appropriated in 2024 to be used in 2025-26 to prevent an interruption of allotments.

SNAP’s Contingency Reserve Is Available for Regular SNAP Benefits, as USDA and OMB Have Ruled in Past
"The Trump Administration recently claimed that SNAP benefits are not available for November 2025 because SNAP’s “contingency funds are not legally available to cover regular benefits.”[1] This stands in opposition to the law and prior practice, including by the Trump Administration itself. Also, the Administration could use its legal transfer authority — the same authority it already used to provide additional funds to WIC — to supplement the contingency reserves, which alone are not enough to fund families’ full benefits for November. The Administration must use all available options to fund November benefits for the 1 in 8 people in the U.S. who need SNAP to afford their grocery bill."
Let them go work like everyone else.
They can't go through life feeding fat off tax payers for ever.
SNAPS needs a thorough shakedown and the removal of bottom feeding illegal aliens and fat lazy Americans who never work from it.
DC is redistributing wealth by stealing from productive Americans to subsidize foreigners and their way of life. That is unacceptable and America Last.
