AI Fusion Summary

A federal judge in Washington, D.C. blocked the Trump administration from preventing SNAP recipients in five states from using benefits to purchase sugary foods and drinks. The court determined that Congress defined what constitutes food and did not authorize the agency to amend or waive that definition. Consequently, the judge halted the bans on the usage of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for soda and candy, as the agency lacked the legal authority.
