A federal judge issued a "sharp rebuke" of President Donald Trump's repeated attempts to prevent food assistance money from being distributed to people in need, according to a new report.

On Thursday, Politico legal reporter Kyle Cheney reported on comments U.S. District Judge John McConnell of Rhode Island made during a hearing over the Trump administration's efforts to rescind congressionally approved funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has drawn a frenzy of speculation in recent months with a hard turnabout from her longtime conspiracy-tinted, ultra-Trump loyalist posture, striking a tone more critical of her own party, and even demanding the GOP present a solution on the health care subsidies cliff.

This has led many figures to theorize she is seeking revenge against Trump after his inner circle allegedly strong-armed her out of running for Senate in Georgia next year. But there might be something deeper at play, Jonathan Chait argued for The Atlantic: she may be playing "three-dimensional chess" to position herself for a soft coup of the MAGA movement down the line.

U.S. District Court Judge John J. McConnell Jr. from the District of Rhode Island ordered the Trump administration to make full Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments for November to states by Friday.

McConnell's Thursday ruling came after administration officials said that partial payments would be sent out in November at an undetermined time.

Sean Dunn, the man who became known as Washington, D.C.'s "Sandwich Guy," was found not guilty of assault by a Washington, D.C. jury Thursday — and onlookers erupted with mockery.

Dunn had been accused of assault after he threw a Subway sandwich at a federal agent during the President Donald Trump-led occupation of the city.

Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police have closed off several roads after an incident near the U.S. Capitol.

"MPD is responding to a suspicious package in the 300 block of Constitution Avenue, NW. Several roads are closed. Avoid the area," they reported on X. "300-500 blocks of C Street, NW are closed. Expect delays."

Just minutes before a jury returned a not guilty verdict for Sean Dunn's, the famed Sandwich Guy accused of assault for throwing a sandwich at a Customs and Border Patrol agent, never Trump lawyer George Conway debuted a tribute song.

Conway, co-founder of the Lincoln Project, contributed his own voice to the trial that has captured the attention of sandwich aficionados around the country.

Sean Dunn, the man who has become known as "Sandwich Guy," has been found not guilty of the federal charges against him.

Previously, a Washington, D.C. grand jury refused to indict Dunn on a felony assault count. His was one of several cases where U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office has failed to secure an indictment.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ) set up a table outside Speaker Mike Johnson's office to push the claim that he was refusing to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) because she would be the final vote needed on a petition to release files related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

During the Thursday protest, Ansari sat behind a table, which was attached to a sign, reading, "Mike Johnson is starving families and gutting healthcare to cover up the Epstein files... CHANGE MY MIND."
