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.

Nope. Never interrupt your enemy when he’s screwing the pooch.
No more welfare for our uninvited, unwelcome alien ‘guests’.
It’s bad enough having millions of domestic dependents.
The Democrat base is too stupid to understand what's going on so they're treated like mushrooms - fed sh*t and kept in the dark.
What I see is that we have a bunch of RINOs in the Senate. This is all "theater".
Then they'll cave in two weeks.
People will blame democrats in the long run..you know that, right?
We can do our best to raise money from private donors to pay salaries etc. But no one on our side wants illegals using hospital emergency rooms to treat sniffles for $3,000 a visit.
Because if there is a clear choice to be made that will put the Republicans in a better light the GOP will go in the opposite direction.
I have a dreadful feeling that those tariffs are going to win the House for the Democrats as well as the White House in 2028.
They can and do but hot food on snap. I don’t know the exceptions but California let’s them do it . Signs are up at restaurants
I’d rather they had hot food and meals on SNAP than cokes and candy.
There is going to be a massive propaganda war on this but GOP needs to understand that a significant portion of the Internet population have seen those outrageous EBT hauls flaunting in the face of hardworking americans..I got mine kids by 9 different baby daddies and we be having sea food boils for all my kids while dancing a jig
It is suppose to be for seniors , disabled, or homeless but of course it gets abused
yeah I’ll be in line at checkout with my staples I have to pay for and I see the ebt fools in front of me with carts filled with luxuries. It’s infuriating. These same people use the motorized carts in the store because they weigh 600 pounds and then they make the grocery staff help them out to their SUV’s they’ve never made a payment on.
Don’t feed the trolls.🤣
You are right. Scamming is not a new thing.
Maybe these lazy fatslob parasites will lose some weight.
I’m a mom and pop landlord in upstate NY. Without fail, EVERY applicant for our rental units who has terrible credit, is living at least partially on the system smokes, has full tattoos and a menagerie of animals that they can’t afford.
It is my understanding that the Democrats claim there is some emergency funding money.
The hurricane risk hopefully will vanish in a few days.
California might have a major earthquake, but that is a 1/5000 long shot.
Benefits might be capped at a certain amount ($50/person) to spread the available funds around.
Be aware many of the Gimmes will use any excuse to steal.
Look at history.
Benjamin Harrison slapped a 50% tarrif on foriegn goods during his term and the result was it directly caused the second worst depression in the history of this nation.
It was blamed on his successor which resulted in that political parties loss of all majorities till 1910.
And that successor was a two termer. Just not consecutively.
Ronald Reagan called tarrifs protectionism. He loathed tarrifs and used them sparingly. He said that protectionist tarrifs are basically put in place to support big businesses which always results in crushing competition.
Im with Reagan. 100%
Yep. Nuclear option is needed. Most Americans think republicans have the trifecta and don’t realize we need 60 votes.
Im the epitome of a consumer. I do the food shopping. I have 2 kids, i but their clothes, electronics, pay for their services. I just bought a new Silverado. Thanks for the advice. I remember what actual “transitory” inflation was like…. 8% … this is nothing. Folks were wrong about the tariffs and now are beginning to have to eat crap as time rolls on the economy isnt crashing in on itself.
Well I do my own shopping and you can’t get out of Wal Mart for less than a $100 have have maybe 4 bags. Example hamburger and I mean 70/30 blend used to be under $10 for 3lbs...today it was $23, I have a sweet tooth and so I buy from WM Deli a single slice of chocolate cake which up to 2 weeks ago cost $1.96 today cost 2.17 and I know the price as I buy it once a week. This is 2 examples as there are many more.
