Next week, millions of Americans who rely on food stamps are going to feel something brutal and immediate: their benefits won’t show up. The money simply won’t load onto EBT cards. Grocery trips that were already hard are about to become impossible. Food banks are already warning they can’t absorb the impact if this drags on.
This is not an accident. This is not a “glitch.” This is a direct result of the ongoing federal shutdown — a shutdown driven by Democrat demands to force taxpayer-funded health coverage for illegal aliens back into the budget.

High time for the Nuclear option in the Senate or the GOP will get that stink all over them!
Imagine the optics of the crying children of color on the television machine
The story is accurate.
But the GOP will stand around like a bunch of dolts crashing the cool kid’s party.
I dont know why we are not hiring some good advertising companies to help drive this story. You know the Dem’s are already starving some young minority kids to show how hungry they are for their ads starting Halloween night.
The democraps voted no. This was a simple CR, but no, they want free health care for illegal aliens.
When Stalin starved his people they did not revolt.
They just died.
Here we will see that SNAP, like the part of government that’s already been shut down, is not actually needed.
Normal people will step up to the plate to help people truly in need.
It doesn’t take a government to hand someone a sandwich.
Doesn’t matter. In their minds, all the EBT card holder’s know is that Dems gibs them everything and Repubs take things away.
You would think the GOP would just drop that hammer on the Nuclear Option...they are just too fearful...Plus Trump’s tariff costs are killing the consumers and so the economy is heading to the crapper so add that to the mix..
Every time I see that clown with his glasses on the end of his nose, I want to throw up.
Good idea, but WHO is going to tell them? The establishment media? Not bloody likely.
There is already a lot of fatigue out there.
If Americans see people stealing food from supermarkets because they didn’t get no EBT, I don’t think there will be sympathy.
The people who really NEED government assistance are too disabled to go around robbing stores. The people who ARE robbing stores ought to working at those stores.
I’m surprised there’s been little reaction to this from the stock market. Just keeps going up.
We’ll see what happens in a week.
Tell them anything. 99% won’t believe it.
Does that include military families on the system?
Till it stops going up then then katie bar the door..
You cannot buy hot food with SNAP
I am wondering about that too. The stock market is breaking records every day. Twight zone
I found working hard, live within your means and you’ll never go hungry.
Relying on the government for anything is being stupid.
