The Supreme Court extended its order blocking Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, food assistance payments until at least Thursday as lawmakers in Congress debate a bill that could reopen the government, according to a new report.
The order was not unanimous, with liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson filing a dissent, according to a report by Kate Buehler, Supreme Court reporter for Law360.
