Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP
You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670
Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem
If youβre angry about βyour moneyβ feeding people but not angry itβs giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

Seems more likely every day that the US government has rather simply and without much resistance permanently hamstrung, if not eliminated, an entire branch of government - the last one with any real semblance of representation - and that Congress may just never come back.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. Itβs a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Donβt be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

You should care that kids, seniors & disabled people can eat. But even if you donβt, grocers have been swallowing tariff costs for months. SNAP keeps them afloat with billions in steady spending. Cut it and prices spike while we all fight for whatβs left on the shelves.

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people?
Does anyone work anymore?"
SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employedβbut in jobs that pay poverty wages

SNAP is probably the most effective federal dollar we spend in terms of long term domestic economic outcomes.
that isnβt why you should support it; you should support it because it is a moral imperative to feed the hungry.
but itβs why even a growth-oriented ghoul shouldnβt oppose it.

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.

With ICE acting like Gestapo psychopaths, good time to remind folks that being undocumented is a misdemeanor, and staying past your visa is only a civil matter.
Neither requires you to football tackle, zip tie, and beat and mace folks, or shoot tear gas and pepper spray at people. These are gross
