Judges rule that food stamp benefits cannot be suspended over shutdown — and Trump responds
The threat to cut food aid benefits was ended by two court rulings that said the Trump administration would need to use contingency plans to keep the money flowing.
Democrats and Republicans have been blaming each other for the U.S. Department of Agriculture plan to cut off Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits on Nov. 1.
‘I do NOT want Americans to go hungry just because the Radical Democrats refuse to do the right thing and REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT.’
On Friday, judges in Massachusetts and Rhode Island ruled that SNAP benefits could not be cut.
“There is no doubt and it is beyond argument that irreparable harm will begin to occur, if it hasn’t already occurred in the terror it has caused some people about the availability of funding for food, for their family,” said U.S. District Judge John McConnell in Providence.
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston similarly ruled that the “suspension of SNAP payments was based on the erroneous conclusion that the contingency funds could not be used to ensure continuation of SNAP payments.”
Both judges McConnell and Talwani were appointed by former President Joe Biden.
The president responded to the rulings in a post on Truth Social.
“Our Government lawyers do not think we have the legal authority to pay SNAP with certain monies we have available, and now two Courts have issued conflicting opinions on what we can and cannot do,” the president said.
“I do NOT want Americans to go hungry just because the Radical Democrats refuse to do the right thing and REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT,” he added. “Therefore, I have instructed our lawyers to ask the Court to clarify how we can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible.”

He went on to blame Democrats for the shutdown and called on Americans to pressure Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York to reopen the government.
“If we are given the appropriate legal direction by the Court, it will BE MY HONOR to provide the funding, just like I did with Military and Law Enforcement Pay,” Trump added.
About 42 million Americans depend on the SNAP program for food aid. Polling shows that far more Americans blame Democrats for this shutdown than during the first government shutdown during Trump’s first term.
“If you use SNAP benefits, call the Senate Democrats, and tell them to reopen the Government, NOW!” Trump concluded.

Google’s AI called Robby Starbuck a predator. Now he’s suing.
People across the world may often look to artificial intelligence tools for answers, but they’re not always right — and sometimes, they’re so wrong that they get sued for defamation.
Conservative activist Robby Starbuck has taken up arms against Google and is suing the tech giant for defamation after its AI tools allegedly linked him to false accusations of sexual assault, child rape, and financial exploitation.
“How did you even find out that all of these lies were being made up, you know, through AI about you?” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales asks Starbuck.
“So, this actually started two years ago, right? And somebody reached out — somebody I don’t know — and said, ‘Hey, have you seen the stuff that Bard is saying about you?’ And so I go, and I check it out because what they said sounded crazy to me,” Starbuck explains.
“I was like, ‘There’s no way that’s actually happening.’ So, I go to Bard, and I check it out myself. And lo and behold, it’s saying that I was a part of January 6, that I was a supporter of the KKK, all this crazy stuff. … It even made an argument, by the way, for the death penalty for me because I offend some Democrats,” he continues.
When he asked the AI about Democrats like Reps. Ilhan Omar (Minn.) or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), the AI refused to speak ill of the politicians, calling it inappropriate.
“So, at that point, I notified Google. I notified their CEO, notified the people in AI there. And in fact, somebody … who worked at Google, they saw what was going on. They said, ‘Please email me. Tell me everything that’s going on,” Starbuck explains.
However, after emailing this person, he was told the employee was resigning.
“And then my lawyers at Dhillon Law have done multiple cease and desists in this year, in 2025, as they’ve rolled out Gemma and Gemini,” he says, noting that both have also defamed him.
Now, Google is claiming that “AI hallucinates.”
“Their AI didn’t just lie. It lied so meticulously and elaborately. It would create fake therapy records, fake police reports, fake court records. It would have full details on the allegations in first-person form with the, you know, sort of point of view of the, quote, ‘victims.’ And then it would impersonate major media outlets, create a fake link to their website and a fake headline so the person would then believe it,” Starbuck tells Gonzales.
And what has happened to Starbuck can have devastating consequences elsewhere.
“And we’ve already seen the data to see that Google and, you know, what they feed to users can flip votes in elections. This is a serious problem,” he says. “You could decide the next president with enough AI defamation.”
