Our Digital Strategist created a SNAP calculator for the public to use as it can be confusing to understand how SNAP benefits are being recalculated starting this month. Feel free to share.

What kind of person do you have to be to look into other people’s carts at the grocery store and judge what they decided to eat that week, especially if they need food assistance?

Trump and his family are raking in 💰millions of dollars in profits while millions of Americans are struggling just to make ends meet. Why is the Democratic leadership not holding them accountable?

People in need should NEVER be used as political pawns. 😠

Federal judge orders Trump administration to pay SNAP benefits out of contingency fund

The ruling came one day before funding for SNAP, more commonly known as food stamps, was set to lapse.

Ripley County Indiana Democrats @ripleydems.bsky.social · 5d

🚨Judges have ruled that the Trump administration CANNOT withhold funding for SNAP benefits.

“The court’s ruling protects millions of families, seniors, and veterans from being used as leverage in a political fight and upholds the principle that no one in America should go hungry.”

The current homepage of USDA. This is deeply and profoundly fucked up. And illegal. People need to go to jail.

"Early days" is a bold assumption with a tyrant ordering in national troops, nice sentiment 🙄

These people will snooze through the MAGA takeover.

Authoritarianism comes fast, Governor J. B. Pritzker told @markleibovich.bsky.social. “And if you’re not willing to stand up and push back while it’s happening in the early days,” Pritzker added, “it gets a lot harder later.” https://theatln.tc/DR3tXJ6E

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that the FDA's unnecessary restrictions on medication abortion are unlawful and must be reconsidered.

This decision reaffirms that our access to safe and essential medicines should be dictated by science, not politics.

Republicans shut down the federal government to avoid paying for Medicare.

Republicans are voting against feeding children in need through SNAP, including 600,000 Hoosiers.

This is ridiculous.

SNAP payments at risk for almost 600,000 Hoosiers as federal shutdown drags on

The state agency that distributes benefits says it cannot do so in November 'unless funding is restored.'

We recieved a VERY misleading mailer today, here’s the FACTS.

🎤 What Patterson doesn’t realize is that her constituents are paying attention, it’s no longer enough to have an “R” next to your name while you LIE to voters and we are coming for her seat because we deserve better!
