🚨UPDATE ON SNAP: Millions of Americans are getting their benefits LATE and only partial benefits.
TWO federal judges made it clear that SNAP should be funded and forced Trump to make a partial payment using an emergency fund, but we need him to pay the FULL benefits.

Trump's tariffs are driving up the cost of everything, especially groceries.
But the President doesn't have a clue, maybe because he's too busy throwing obscene Gatsby-themed parties while he denies millions of families SNAP benefits.
Why does the President have zero clue about one of the most corrupt pardons he's made so far?
Donald Trump is a crook, whether he knows it or not.
The letter of the law is as plain as day. Trump should have paid SNAP benefits all along.
Just now paying the bare minimum to partially fund SNAP is not enough, and it is not acceptable.
Trump should immediately work to fully fund benefits under the law.
This is about as sick and cruel as it gets. This policy is in place to stop grocery stores from OVERCHARGING people using SNAP.
The Trump administration, while it illegally withholds SNAP benefits, is telling grocers they can't offer discounts to people on SNAP.
Republicans have no plan to stop the MAGA health care hike.
Trump could not care less about ending this shutdown, keep health care costs from spiking, or making sure kids and families don’t go hungry.
He has been infinitely more focused on building his ballroom than helping your family.
Democrats: Work with us to save the ACA tax credits and stop premiums from skyrocketing.
Republicans: What if we made the problem worse?
SNAP benefits didn’t need to stop.
There are federal dollars to keep SNAP going, even in a shutdown. Trump is REFUSING to use it.
The courts have ruled that Trump needs to get November SNAP benefits out the door for Americans in need.
Much higher health care premiums are all part of the MAGA health care hike–not just because Republicans are causing it, but because these skyrocketing price increases are hitting MAGA states harder than anyone.
80% of the funds for ACA tax credits go to states Trump WON!
It is disgusting that Republicans CHOSE to let SNAP benefits run out today—letting millions of kids and families go hungry for political leverage. The courts have made it clear that USDA must fund SNAP for November.
Dr. Oz claimed that families’ health care premiums will only go up $13 a month. Who is he trying to fool?
Open enrollment is here, and millions of families can see the truth for themselves: costs are going up by a LOT more than $13.
Trump is illegally blocking SNAP benefits. He won't spend a cent to lower health care costs for American citizens.
But he'll spare no expense to refurbish his bathroom with statuary marble.
If Kristi Noem needs a private jet or Argentina needs $40 billion, Trump will make it happen.
But when it comes to feeding hungry kids? Trump is looking for every excuse he can find to block SNAP benefits.
He needs to follow the law and keep SNAP running.
Open enrollment for 2026 health care coverage starts TODAY!
And if you're shopping for coverage, you're likely to see the costs of Republicans’ refusal to work with Democrats to save the ACA tax credits.
Let's be clear: this didn't need to happen. Republicans chose to let it happen.
Bridget from Whatcom County will see her family’s health care premiums increase from anywhere between $525 and $2,000 A MONTH.
She's one of millions who will see their premiums skyrocket because Republicans refused to work with Democrats to save the ACA tax credits.
Trump is CHOOSING not to tap into contingency funds & Senate Republicans blocked bills to keep SNAP going.
Federal courts have ruled on this now. Trump needs to follow the law and fund SNAP!
Tomorrow, families will see the reality of the MAGA health care hike.
And what did Republican leaders do? Send Congress home to continue ignoring the train that's crashing in front of them.
BREAKING: A federal Judge affirms what we've said all along. Trump ABSOLUTELY can keep SNAP running. That's what the contingency fund is for! If families go hungry, it's because Trump chose to ignore the law to cut off SNAP for political leverage.
From $187 a month to $1,345 a month for the EXACT same health insurance plan.
That's a typical premium increase that a middle-class couple in Seattle will face because Republicans have refused to work with Democrats to extend the ACA tax credits.
