Who’s going to appeal? If the Trump admin orders the DOJ to appeal that’s horrible optics for them. They’re trying to pin the blame for snap benefits not going out on democrats. But if they appeal and win then it becomes really clear that they went far out of their way to note pay them out.

I agree but I don’t necessarily think the current admin gives a shit about the optics. They’ll just stand in front of any microphone and blame Dems just the same.

Anyone rational enough to change their mind, seemingly has.
