| 0:00.0 | So two massive losses for the Trump regime in federal court regarding SNAP benefits, |
| 0:06.0 | a Rhode Island judge has ordered that the Trump regime immediately tap into its contingency |
| 0:12.1 | or emergency funds to make sure that 42 a million Americans don't starve this weekend. |
| 0:18.0 | That was a decision issued by Judge John McConnell, the group |
| 0:22.6 | Democracy Forward filed the one in Rhode Island. Then separately, there was a case brought by |
| 0:28.1 | AGs in the United District Court for the District of Massachusetts, where there a federal |
| 0:33.5 | judge, Judge Talwani, basically found the Trump regime not tapping into the emergency |
| 0:39.0 | or contingency funds for SNAP was unlawful, but the remedy has not yet been officially |

| 1:39.7 | Here, play this clip. I'll just add to that. The Democrats are lying about that, and I think they know that. |
| 1:46.1 | Some of the ones who are out saying it are actually attorneys. They can read the black letter |
| 1:50.3 | law themselves. They didn't file a lawsuit you saw to try to do it. Why? Because they wanted a |
| 1:55.7 | talking point. They know that's a frivolous piece of litigation. They know they're going to lose, |
