BOSTON — A federal judge gave President Trump Trump until Monday to restore SNAP food benefits to 42 million low-income people. The benefits expiree Saturday as part of Trump’s showdown with Congress to have his own way on federal budget priorities. Judge Indira Talwani acknowledged her order will leave millions of people without SNAP benefits through the weekend. There should be no irreparable harm, she said. The judge’s order was in response to a lawsuit by 23 state attorneys general, including Keith Ellison of Minnesota. Ellison called Trump cruel for cancelling nutrition assistance.
