Washington’s latest fiscal standoff isn’t just another round of partisan posturing—it’s a direct assault on the grocery budgets of 42 million Americans who rely on SNAP to keep food on the table. As November 1 looms, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has issued a stark memo: federal funds for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will evaporate without a budget deal, leaving states scrambling and families exposed.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and his Democratic allies bear the brunt of the blame here, having stonewalled a House-passed funding extension 12 times in the Senate, all to extract concessions on healthcare subsidies for illegal aliens and Medicaid expansions. This is gamesmanship that prioritizes D.C. score-settling over the basic needs of working households.

Well, the states administer the program, so they could just write a check to fund the November welfare payouts and wait for the feds to reimburse after the dems decide to open the government again. That way the states could decide who gets a Soylent Green riot and who doesn’t.
The Fed Poverty level is $15,650. Working 40 hours per week, 52 weeks a year at the federal minimum wage of $7.25 grosses $15,080 per year. US poverty rate is approximately 12%. Of the 342 million Americans, 12% is 41 million people. So, there you go.
We are experiencing a terrorist attack designed to insure the rats continue to raid the US’s treasury.
they were sure GOP would have flopped as usual by now.....
I do not know how to sugar coat this, but this is not why I voted for Trump.
He has spent almost exactly what senile , socialistic Biden spent in 2024.
Sure I love what he has done with the border, Social causes etc but my gawd he is killing us on this big spending.
233 years to get to 9 trillion in debt in 2009, and in 16 years since we have quadrupled it. It’s almost out of control now.
Elon Musk might have well just stayed home and worked on rockets and electric cars.
Thank you. Average pay per hour now though is $12.00+. It doesn’t come down to minimum wage. It’s people that don’t want to work.
A lot of these SNAP people are on line talking about how they’ll be stealing food from Walmart.

attention food stamp recipients: make other plans. That is all.
Rampant fraud is for sure.
I suspect between 30-50%.
Rep. Mike Johnson needs to get the press there for the live vote(s) to solve Chuckie’s failure to vote the solution. Go on a major press campaign with every Republican in Federal Government talking about Democratic failure to vote!
Mike Johnson should demand every answer / statement to the press begin with “well if Senator Schumer would do his job and vote….”.
Put large pictures of Chuckie’s face and phone number up at all Government locations with the phase “want your food, call Senator Schumer” “Does he have your food at his office?” “Does he have your food at his house?”
Remember the Libs had people camping out at Supreme Court Justices’ houses!

I guess I’ll start seeing fewer shopping carts full of chips and sodas and beer....
Rush Limbaugh made it clear that the goal of Patriots, right-thinking Americans, was to see that more people got OFF welfare than on it, while the stated goal of progressives [dementiacrats, socialists, you know, communists] was to get the most people on welfare as was possible.
Paraphreased, of course.
It will be downright dangerous to go to the store.
Perhaps “muh babies daddies” need to get to work.
How many aliens are getting SNAP?
Some of the videos are rage bait . The dancing black EBT chick with all the kids deleted her videos. Claimed pregnant with triplets.
