U.s. Supreme Court Allows Trump Admin to Avoid Funding Snap Payments for Now

Before stacking supreme court, the 45th PotUS has worst record in nearly a century: https://www.abajournal.com/news/article/trump-administration...

Conversely, today's stacked SCotUS has been gifting an unprecedented 90% win rate. Equally unprecedented has been the court's refusal to explain rulings and the impossibly short deliberation periods. : https://www.courtaccountability.org/shadow-docket-analysis

Perhaps Congress could fund SNAP payments by passing a budget.

This is an administrative stay. Because the administration says it has the means to only partially fund the program (due to the shutdown), this got kicked back to the lower courts to consider if partial funding was sufficient for them to consider the matter closed. If not, it’ll ultimately be appealed back to this court again. But right now, all they’re doing is saying “hey things have changed since you issued your order, re-rule on this case”.
