Donβt take it from me, listen to Snopes! Speaker Johnson signed a bill to cut $186 billion from SNAP. And again, itβs HIS party that wonβt help millions of Americans put food on the table this month.

SNAP isnβt saved yet. A judge gave the USDA until Monday to decide how or if benefits go out. They could be delayed, reduced, or partial. Nothingβs guaranteed.
Even if payments restart, states still have to reload cards and update systems, so delays are certain.
Complete insanity. Right in front of her daughter. This thug has no ID or anything.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?
Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.
this is insane.

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.
DHS βprobably violated federal immigration laws, which entitle most immigrants facing deportation to a hearing before a judge β a hearing Mr. Juarez never had. .. It is unclear how many other immigrants like Mr. Juarez have been erroneously removed ..β
