Or will she?
Since Congress has expessly refused to fund SNAP Benefits, and since the President has not yet used the SNAP contingency fund, a Boston judge, egged on by Democratic state politicians has decided that she will run the program herself.
How well will she do with that?
For one thing, her ruling will give many SNAP dependents hope. They will not bother to look for charitible organization, nor deign to go to food banks, or free cookouts sponsored by churches. Why should they? Democrat judge to the rescue!
So, let's hope it works out.

(CNN) — A federal judge in Boston indicated Thursday that she will intervene in a high-stakes fight over the Trump administration’s decision to not tap into billions of dollars in emergency funds to help cover food stamp benefits for tens of millions of Americans in November.
“Right now, Congress has put money in an emergency fund for an emergency, and it’s hard for me to understand how this isn’t an emergency when there’s no money and a lot of people are needing their SNAP benefits,” US District Judge Indira Talwani said near the end of a hearing, referring to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, the formal name for food stamps.

Well . . . yes. There is no money because Congress said no, and Congress appropriates spending for every government agency but one. Has this judge been on vacation for the last thirty days, and was not aware of the news?
It's hard for her to understand how this isn't an emergency? No one except the Democrats in Congress said it wasn't. Much harder for her to understand seems to be that we already have a person to manage things in an emergency, including deciding how to make the most judicious (no pun intended) use of any emergency funds previously provided by Congress.
Maybe she feels that judges are automatically much smarter than presidents, and obviously much, much smarter than the silly voters who choose them.
I hope so, because it will be a neat trick feeding so many people. 42 million is the number that is bandied about, so I'll go that. AI tells me that there is $6B in the fund, so I'll go with that. Other estimates are welcome, so long as backed up by links.

$6,000,000,000 divided by 42,000,000 comes out to $142.85 per person. (please check my math, I went to public school).
Remember the Democrats and "not Democrats" on here mocking the "hundred dollar gift card" that a generous person funded for our military? I predict zero mocking of this paltry sum as they cheer this judges "courage" in publicly opposing Donald Trump, which so few are willing to do.
Face to the name:

Seems a happy little judicial dictator, anyway. I wonder how she'll feed to poor next month?
