So Trumpco is going to make all SNAP recipients reapply



First they blamed the Dems for not funding SNAP

Then they went to court to ask permission NOT to pay

The shutdown is ending & they’re making everyone reapply and “prove” they’re legitimately starving.

It’s 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 we’re going to find?” she asked during a Thursday appearance on Newsmax’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight.”

“It’s going to give us a platform and a trajectory to fundamentally rebuild this program, have everyone reapply for their benefit, make sure that everyone that’s taking a taxpayer-funded benefit through SNAP or food stamps, that they literally are vulnerable, and they can’t 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.

also authorizes and monitors retailer stores that redeem SNAP benefits. States operate the Program at the local level, determining eligibility and issuing benefits to eligible households.

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.
