Hey fam! Yesterday (Tuesday, Nov 11), the US Supreme Court gave another breather ⚖️ on a judge’s order that would've forced the Trump administration to unlock 💰 $4 billion for food aid (SNAP) to 42 million low-income Americans 🥪.
In plain English: SNAP, aka food stamps, helps folks buy groceries. A judge had ruled it must be fully funded this month, but the Court hit pause—again. This freeze lasts until Thursday, Nov 13 ⏳, unless the government shutdown drama ends.
Why it matters: This shutdown is the longest in US history, causing real headaches—millions without full food benefits, hundreds of thousands of fed workers unpaid, and even flight delays ✈️.
Quick update: On Monday (Nov 10), the US Senate backed a compromise to reopen the government. If lawmakers sign off, the shutdown—and this SNAP freeze—could vanish fast.
Whether you’re budgeting for biryani in Dhaka or nasi lemak in KL 🍛, this US drama shows how policies shape plates worldwide 🌍. Stay tuned!
