Then they went to court to ask permission NOT to pay
The shutdown is ending & theyâre making everyone reapply and âproveâ theyâre legitimately starving.
Itâs almost as though they spent the money and have zero intentions of ever funding it again.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on Thursday said the Trump administration is planning to have all Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) beneficiaries reapply for the program due to alleged fraud.
The secretary said after receiving data on SNAP recipients from 29 red states that 186,000 deceased men and women and children in this country are receiving a check.
Can you imagine when we get our hands on the blue state data what were going to find? she asked during a Thursday appearance on Newsmaxs Rob Schmitt Tonight.
Its going to give us a platform and a trajectory to fundamentally rebuild this program, have everyone reapply for their benefit, make sure that everyone thats taking a taxpayer-funded benefit through SNAP or food stamps, that they literally are vulnerable, and they cant survive without it, she added.

So they voted to end the shutdown because people on SNAP were going hungry.
They have no intention of starting the program back up.

(6,479 posts)6. It's as if tsf just sits around calculating the ways to burn taxpayers' money -- and
if it hurts taxpayers (low income folks pay sales tax on non-food items) all the better. All the while, he's raking in millions of corrupt dollars.
Fortunately, those nutrition and medical issues can help us take back the House and possibly the Senate.
