The WH has abandoned its plan to kick thousands off of food stamps in the U.S (at least for now)

The somewhat good news in America this week and it has made our stories of the week list. Over the past week, the Trump Administration learned that its draconian rule that would've killed thousands off of food stamps has been placed on hold, potentially for the foreseeable future. According to a ruling by District Court Judge Beryl Howell ruled that to do such during a global pandemic pretty much would've run afoul of everything that America stands for.

A warning to Food Stamp/Benefit Recipients in America

But it's a telling sign that grim times may be ahead for millions who depend on said programs to get by. Today we confirmed with multiple food stamp offices across America (including the "Human Resources Admin" in NYC) that the 17th marked the arrival of "February Benefits" for millions.
