Trump administration threatens to yank food stamps funding from Democratic-led states

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The U.S. Department of Agriculture will begin next week to block nutrition assistance funding for states led by Democrats that have not provided data on fraud in the program, Secretary Brooke Rollins told President Donald Trump at a Cabinet meeting Tuesday.

USDA sought data from states earlier this year related to their administration of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, benefits, Rollins said Tuesday. She added the data was needed to address fraud that she called “rampant” in the program that helps 42 million people afford groceries.

Most states complied with the request, but 21, mostly run by Democrats, refused, she said. A USDA spokesperson later implied the department was missing data from 22 states.

Leading Dem calls threat illegal

It’s unclear what authority Rollins would have to block funding, which Congress has appropriated.

1. Illegal and despicable

Hitler's playbook in full force with the Trump administration and the enabling Supreme Court scorious sh*ts. The 6 are a absolute disgrace as jurists and human beings.

2. Because there certainly aren't any Trump voters in blue states on food stamps.
