Millions left awaiting SNAP ruling
4m
The Trump administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene in its bid to withhold full SNAP benefits, escalating a legal fight that left about 42 million recipients in limbo.

It’s appalling that the President of the United States and all of his advisors together know less about how SNAP works than my students do. Or else they are just lying. And I’m not sure which is worse.
Trump on SNAP: It really puts the country in jeopardy. People who are able bodied who can do their job—they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up because it’s easier—that’s not the purpose of it

Paperwork burden, stigma and stress are common for SNAP and increase food insecurity. Many (most) recipients are children, disabled or older, while many already work, if they can. Not letting people go hungry should be a fundamental function of government.
It is incredible — the blind spots you develop when you’ve never, ever been poor.
Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."

I'm furious at the Democratic senators who caved.
But don't forget who put us in this position and who is STILL trying to take away SNAP benefits. Don't let the Trump administration and the Republicans who have sided with them the whole time off the hook.

Starting now: Press conference announcing a motion for a temporary restraining order challenging USDA's unlawful attempt to withhold SNAP benefits, featuring Attorneys General of CA, NY, MN, NJ and leaders from City Harvest, Food Action Research Center and No Kid Hungry.

Since January, Trump's Treasury has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a huge boon for big business and wealthy investors.
Meanwhile, he's led an all-out assault on Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that help the poor.
Reverse Robin Hood.

Donald Trump just said he'll ask the Supreme Court to freeze SNAP payments AGAIN.
His message to the 42 million Americans who rely on SNAP? Eat dirt.
