A bold patriotic-style infographic from Stand Up For Science showing a large star and the phrase “KEEP AMERICA FED!” It says the shutdown puts SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans at risk. Three steps are listed: 1) Identify a food bank in your community. 2) Collect non-perishable foods. 3) Drop off collected goods once a week. Footer link: standupforscience.net/sufs-food-drive.

The science is clear - SNAP reduces food insecurity, improves health outcomes, and lower healthcare costs.

Although fed judges ruled the admin can NOT withhold SNAP disbursements, it appears they plan to do just that.

HAYES: “Let me be as clear as I can — Trump is arguing in court to let Americans go hungry so they don’t have to negotiate with Dems over stopping some of those same Americans health care costs from skyrocketing.”

Trump says the contingency fund can’t be used for SNAP.

But with the Supreme Court’s gift of unlimited power, that’s not true.
He has the power to feed millions.
He’s choosing to let Americans go hungry.

This is the definition of a heartless dictator, attempting to control citizens.

This is a political decision — specifically, a Republican decision Despite the government shutdown, the SNAP program isn’t out of money. In fact, it has $5 billion in contingency funds, intended as a reserve to be tapped in emergencies. And if the imminent cutoff of crucial food aid for 40 million people isn’t an emergency, what is? The Department of Agriculture, which runs the program, also has the ability to maintain funding for a while by shifting other funds around. But Donald Trump has — quite possibly illegally — told the department not to tap those funds. Furthermore, the Republican majority in the Senate could maintain aid by waiving the filibuster on this issue. They have done this on other issues — for example, to roll back California’s electric vehicle standard. But for today’s Republican Party, blocking green energy is more important than keeping 40 million Americans from going hungry. Furthermore, passing legislation to keep food aid flowing would require that Mike Johnson, the speaker, call the House back into session – something which he refuses to do. While we don’t know for sure the reason behind Johnson’s refusal, there is widespread speculation that it’s to avoid swearing in the newly elected Arizona congresswoman Adelina Grijalva, who would supply the crucial vote needed to force an overall vote on releasing the Epstein files. It sounds crazy to say that Republicans are making children go hungry to protect pedophiles, but it’s actually a reasonable interpretation of the situation.

The Hunger Games Begin
40 million Americans are about to lose food stamps

Genius idea: Trump happily takes a billionaire’s cash to keep the military paid. So why not toss his $864M crypto windfall into SNAP? That way, kids and families won’t have to wonder if there’ll be turkey on Thanksgiving. 🍗💸

Problem solved.

In response, blue-state governments are stepping in to fill the void, governors are allocating emergency funds to support food banks, deploying their National Guards to help coordinate donations, and taking other measures to ensure families don’t go hungry.

Twenty-five states are suing the Trump administration’s U.S. Department of Agriculture over the looming suspension of SNAP benefits.

But then he financed President Trump’s stablecoin and lobbied for a pardon.

Today, he got it.
