Judge orders administration to distribute SNAP contingency money amid shutdown

am I suppossed to have an issue with someone having their groceries paid for by snap can now afford rent and maintenence costs for their home?

I was reading interviews with people who said they were likely going to have to skip either rent or their car payment to afford food next month. Both of those seem irreparable to me - late fees, credit score impact, possibility of losing housing or essential transportation to be able to work...

> If this causes irreparable harm, then by the same precedent, the government would never be allowed to reduce spending on any program that could reduce poor people's income

Uh, irreparable harm is just one of several elements of the test for whether a preliminary injunction is warranted while a case is being litigated. It is not, on its own, a bar to government action (otherwise, the death penalty would be illegal without having to make 8th Amendment arguments because it may be debatable whether it is cruel and unusual punishment, but that it is irreparable harm is unmistakable.)

So, no, that's not what this precedent (were it a precedential ruling of law rather than a fact finding by a trial court whose rulings would not be precedential in any case) would mean.
