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.

Yet Tik-tok after Tik-tok and hundreds of Youtube vids blame Trump ONLY.
Pubbies really need to get out in front of this and call it out for what it is. The Dumblecrat shut down. That message is not getting thru, especially to the idiots on food stamps.
[A long read, btw, but interesting...]
WTF are 42 million Americans doing sponging on welfare?! That’s about 15% of the population. That LBJ sure knew what he was doing.
I can guarantee you Deep State wants that number even higher.
Republicans in the House keep passing a funding extension. Democrats in the Senate keep killing it.
No Food Stamps? Gosh. Who’s to blame?
WTF are 42 million Americans doing sponging on welfare?!
My thoughts exactly! And acting like they are ENTITLED to it!
WHY ARE 42 MILLION AMERICANS ON WELFARE? I would bet that over half are ILLEGALS!
Looks like we have no choice but to terminate hundreds of thousands of not productive swivel servants
Exactly..SNAP should be eliminated as well as all government funded welfare programs should.
could be a big chunk of illegals. They can always go back home.
Try hiring one of them,
Maybe being hungry will make working a vista again? That along with crime punishment reeducationing.
They have been to blame for every shut down but never blamed for them. Their idea of negotiation is take no give. Except for the responsibility of their actions.
Actually the House has passed 1. The Senate keeps bringing that same CR up for a vote.
It’s a bit late in the year for riots but riots there will be if SNAP doesn’t arrive on time. Go to any supermarket in America on a SNAP day, it’s thisclose to a looting event. A feeding frenzy. Take away the feed, get the frenzy.
The Democrats “let them eat cake” moment.
WTF are 42 million Americans doing sponging on welfare?!
I suspect rampant fraud , waste and abuse.
Go to any supermarket in America on a SNAP day,
—
Since SNAP benefits are tied to an individual’s birthday, any day in every month are “SNAP days”.
The fact we have 42 million is a problem in itself
Then, to see the amount they get just pi**es me off. And that many of them have never worked a day in their life, multiple kids with no dad in sight
Some are generational. A Parasite Class of 10s of millions
Not in my state. Here everyone knows a SNAP day when they see the parking lot.
I’m trying real hard to care.
“Who’s to blame?
Our one-party gummit system AKA the Uniparty. Said more literally is our worthless congress who will rack up more than $40,000,000,000,000 in debt (and rising) long before the decade is out. Hence raising the debt ceiling and constant CR’s without end.
Literally though it is the voters, a total collapse is inevitable and may happen in our lifetime. The current debt accrual is about $70,000 per SECOND.
