The U.S. Department of Agriculture has posted a notice on its website saying federal food aid will not go out Nov. 1, raising the stakes for families nationwide as the government shutdown drags on.

The new notice comes after the Trump administration said it would not tap roughly $5 billion in contingency funds to keep benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly referred to as SNAP, flowing into November. That program helps about 1 in 8 Americans buy groceries.

“Bottom line, the well has run dry,” the USDA notice says. “At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01. We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats.”

The shutdown, which began Oct. 1, is now the second-longest on record. While the Republican administration took steps leading up to the shutdown to ensure SNAP benefits were paid this month, the cutoff would expand the impact of the impasse to a wider swath of Americans — and some of those most in need — unless a political resolution is found in just a few days.

1. When the masses get hungry enough,

They will eat the Rich.

[markodochartaigh]

3. Trump is betting that they will

eat the Democratic politicians first.

I think that there is at least a 40% chance that he is correct.

[Hugin]

7. Sadly, I give your wag a high concurrence.

Yes, the stupid is that high from my day-to-day experience.

But, the game of chicken is like that.

[markodochartaigh]

9. I think that the game of chicken is

a good analogy for our elections now too.

[highplainsdem]

13. We're playing a game of chicken with a psychopath, though, and betting that he has enough non-psychopathic

people enabling and supporting him and his party to force them to do the rational thing, if only for political preservation.

Trump is betting that he can either win the blame game, or stop or rig future elections so even if most Americans blame him for the shutdown and truly hate him, he can stay in power.

10. At this point it doesn't matter

As long as they are all still in office, it will be shitty either way.

[bucolic_frolic]

2. Sounds like Gaza. /nt

[Hugin]

4. A USDA website playing politics out in broad daylight?

“We are approaching an infection point for Senate Democrats.” How’s about the f**kers with an “R” near their name?

Seriously?

The times, they are a changing.

[Brother Buzz]

6. You caught that, too.

[PSPS]

12. They've been doing that everywhere

From Social Security emails to videos played in airports. When we used to have laws, all of this would be illegal. But johnny-boy has nullified all laws when it comes to republicans.

[Hugin]

23. Apparently some...

Sh*t posters are less non-essential than others with the government shut down.

I hope someone is taking notes.

[Klarkashton]

5. Using poor children as bargaining chips.

It would be unbelievable if it wasn't for trump

[mdbl]

8. Someone needs to shut off Dump's line of credit at McDonalds.

[C_U_L8R]

11. They signed the notice "Happy Thanksgiving"

[highplainsdem]

14. Where did you read that? The notice that shows on the website has nasty partisan wording that shouldn't be

allowed on government sites, but it isn't signed "Happy Thanksgiving."

[C_U_L8R]

19. I was being cynical

But it’s exactly what those shitheads would do.

[highplainsdem]

21. Thanks for explaining! I'd wondered if maybe it had been included somewhere, then edited out.

[C_U_L8R]

28. Then they added 'Especially you, Tiny Tim"

As they demanded his immigration papers and shouted in his face
“Cratchit? What kinda foreign name is that?”

Then they all laughed and shook their bellies
as they kicked Tiny Tim’s crutches out from beneath him.

Bah, fucking humbug.

[choie]

15. The well has gone dry

my ass!

[republianmushroom]

16. The shame of it.

[Mysterian]

17. I bet they're giggling with joy that people will be hungry

The trump regime are evil monsters.

[littlemissmartypants]

18. Psychopaths

[yankee87]

20. Nothing is bottom

Even though many MAGAt families won’t have food, they will still take it because they’re owning the libs.
We lost the right to bodily autonomy, voting rights, emoluments clause, money equals voice, private donations for armed forces, not swearing in Congress.
Nothing else matters except my team wins.

[Billsdaughter]

22. This regime and its ilk HATE anyone

in need of assistance. Except for the rich desperate for a tax cut.

Also, I regretfully maintain my position that there will not be a midterm election whatsoever.

NO MORE KINGS!

[Buddyzbuddy]

24. How many impoverished thought their vote wouldn't matter,

so, they didn't vote.

I say this from the experience of coming from a large extended family that thought this way because they felt disenfranchised. Which is how many politicians wanted them.

The sincerely caring politicians are kept out of the club by the establishment (MONEY).
Give the people false hope to get their vote and then ignore them. That's the appeal of Bernie and AOC, sincerity. Their spots don't change.

[ultralite001]

25. Thanksgiving for me...

but not for thee...

The generosity of the Krasnov administration will be remembered in the history books (lies on lies).

The lack of generosity of Krasnov + his administration will be remembered at election time by every
soul that has been betrayed by the Krasnov administration's empty promises...

What a legacy...

[Midnight Writer]

26. Stephen Miller will be playing "matador" tonight.

Nothing like depriving millions of food and healthcare to gin up his libido.

[Lovie777]

27. ICE is being paid...................

but the US Military is not....................

on tax payer money, shithole and comrades are flying places and partying while bullying.

[keroro gunsou]

29. Dear Mr. President

in regards to the recent anouncement from the U.S. Department of Agriculture regarding Food Share/SNAP benefits no longer being available after 11/1/25, I have the following message for you, said with all due deferance to your position...

FUCK YOU.

Hope all is well with you family with the upcoming holidays and all that tosh.

Signed:

a VERY pissed off citizen

[Justice matters.]

30. Starving poor children is so kkkristian of that hypocrite regime.

They started with the poor children in Africa, now they R here.

Their entitled cruelty knows no bounds.

[bobalew]

31. Per tRump to the poor:

No Thanksgiving for you, but some more for ME!

[travelingthrulife]

32. Why can MAGA and the Tech boys never understand that every SNAP dollar

spent brings money into our economy? It is so basic yet they never get it.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

33. Mighty Chrisitan of you

[Zorro]

34. Trump to SNAP recipients:

"Let them eat shit."

[pecosbob]

35. I predict it will take about a week until Walmart starts to scream.
