Federal Courts Issue Rulings Restricting Trump Administration Policies on Food Stamps and Voting Access
A series of Friday rulings dealt setbacks to the Trump administration, blocking recent changes to food stamp eligibility requirements and limiting restrictions on voting access. The decisions signal ongoing legal challenges to key policy initiatives pursued during the final months of the administration and could substantially impact millions of Americans.
The rulings center on attempts to narrow access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and implement stricter voter identification rules. Critics argue these measures disproportionately affect low-income individuals and minority voters,while the administration maintains they are necessary to prevent fraud and ensure election integrity. Legal battles are expected to continue, perhaps escalating to the Supreme Court.
According to reporting, more than half of Americans disapprove of Donald Trump’s demolition of the White House’s East Wing and the construction of a new ballroom, a new Washington Post, ABC News, and Ipsos poll reveals. The poll found 56% of respondents disagree with the move, while 28% support it.
Further, a new book details how Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff, allegedly spearheaded a purge of FBI agents involved in investigations related to Donald Trump.
