Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Rosa is right. The Trump administration is saying it lacks authority to use the SNAP contingency fund for November benefits. Not true. They’re illegally withholding the funds to put further pain on Americans during the shutdown. They have the money, but refuse to use it.

While Trump spent the weekend golfing on the taxpayer's dime, millions are starting the week unsure how they'll buy groceries without SNAP benefits. Unconscionable.

Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities? Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children? And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?

42 million Americans will be without SNAP benefits at the end of this month. Children, babies, expecting mothers, the disabled and the elderly. The most vulnerable amongst us.

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country! It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

You can make whatever campaign promises you want, but budgets don’t lie. This is the middle-finger Trump gave to 99% of Americans tonight.
