Another day ending in y, another judge blocking a Trump administration policy. This time, a judge has ruled that the Trump administration can't ban the use of SNAP (food stamps) for candy and sugary sodas. This judge wasn't an immigrant named "Sparkle," by any chance? No, this looks like your typical AWFL.
🚨#BREAKING: A Federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration cannot ban SNAP recipients from using benefits on sugary drinks & candy.

Five plaintiffs brought the suit against Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and the USDA, claiming that they had "exceeded their statutory authority, failed to engage in reasoned decision-making, and disregarded a mandatory procedural requirement when approving the pilot projects."
Let me guess - she cares about the nutrition of poor people and "food deserts," and THIS is what that dedication looks like.

What penumbra is the constitutional right to candy for welfare recipients in?

This is another judge that is despicable. Has no concern for the good nutrition of those in need. Wonder if she served Nerds and Coke to her kids for breakfast. Lunatic.

@grok what can't a judge block? Seems like they are able to block anything they want

Oh yay I always wanted a unelected activist judge to make policy decisions for the country, and not the actual guy that we all voted into office.

"Supplemental" and "Nutritional Assistance" are right in the name of the program, but seem to have no meaning.
Why don’t the judges just run the country. Why bother electing anyone?

The correct course of action here is to end the SNAP program and arrest the judge, but we don't have leaders with balls.

Democrats want their voters to stay poor, dumb, fat and lazy and they will spend all of your money to achieve it

Ignore her. Keep the rule in place until the appeal and certain overrule.

How about we just remove this useless anti-American judge!
Oh another lefty judge blocking common sense again. This will get slapped down again. What is wrong with these people?

What laws are they basing these rulings on? Ones they made up in their head?

The judicial branch has taken over and nullified the executive branch.

So much for voting.
Hey Judge, what does the N stand for in SNAP?
— Rob (@RobWatsonVegas) June 23, 2026
So what constitutional right is being infringed here?

I’m a registered dietitian. This is absolutely ridiculous. There must be a better test of intelligence to pass the bar and become a judge.

We'd love to see the rest of this judge's ruling to learn why she thinks people receiving a government handout can't be limited in what they buy with taxpayer money.
