By refusing to fully fund SNAP, Trump is using hunger as a bargaining chip. He needs to reverse course and provide SNAP in full so millions of Americans don’t have to wonder where their next meal will come from. Watch for the hearing today and another court order soon.

John Oliver calls out Trump for refusing to fund SNAP, "a lot of Republicans are now using hunger as a bargaining tactic," and slams Tommy Tuberville for sneering that people "in inner cities" should just go back to work, "most SNAP recipients are children, elderly, or disabled."

I’ve heard from Coloradans across our state who don’t know how they’re going to feed their families this week as President Trump plays politics with their SNAP benefits. Trump must stop using hunger as a political weapon, follow the law, and fully fund SNAP immediately.

President Trump has created a hunger crisis right here in our community by refusing to fully fund SNAP benefits. It is cruel, it is unacceptable, it is illegal, and I will not stand for it.

Donald Trump is treating 42 million Americans, who depend on SNAP for their survival, as bargaining chips in his sick political game of extortion. SNAP is not a ransom note but a right. Americans have a legal right to put food on the table and feed their families.

Trump could end this shutdown and extend SNAP today if he wanted to. Instead, he's holding food assistance hostage to score political points. It's pathetic and cruel. This vital lifeline for millions of Americans, many of them children, shouldn’t be a bargaining chip.

This is the first time in history that a president is refusing to fund SNAP during a shutdown. Donald Trump is weaponizing hunger. He's turning millions of children, seniors, and veterans into political pawns.

In the 61 year history of SNAP, the program has never missed payments — until now, because of Donald Trump. Trump could send out SNAP benefits today. Multiple judges have ordered him to, and the government has the money. But he’s still refusing. Fully fund SNAP now.

🚨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.

Americans’ wellbeing isn’t a bargaining chip. More than 240,000 Arkansans are days away from losing SNAP benefits that help put food on their tables. Chuck Schumer needs to stop the games and put Americans first.

It's not enough for Trump to only fund half of SNAP benefits in November. Families need ALL of their food assistance and they need it NOW. Trump must fully fund SNAP and Republicans must reopen the government.

5.5 million Californians rely on SNAP food assistance to feed themselves and their families. The Trump Administration has the money to provide SNAP benefits next month, but he’s using the millions of families that could go hungry for leverage in shutdown negotiations instead. It’s sick.

The courts have reaffirmed that Trump cannot withhold the benefits Americans need for food for their families. He cannot take 42 million hungry people as hostages. And yet, he just appealed to the Supreme Court AGAIN to get out of paying full SNAP benefits to hungry Americans

Trump is more interested in hurting people he sees as his enemies than working for all Americans. He should stop weaponizing SNAP, follow the federal court order, and ensure millions of Americans don't go hungry. I am tired of Donald Trump dividing our country.

1 in 8 people rely on SNAP. You know something's wrong when in the richest, most powerful country in the world, the President is refusing to fund SNAP and instead, actively weaponizing people's hunger. It's immoral. It's cruel. And it must come to an end.

Breaking: SNAP benefits are getting shut off next week for 16 million kids - including 600,000 in NC - because the Dept. of Agriculture is refusing to use its $6b emergency fund. They are willfully allowing a major hunger crisis to occur - so I’m taking them to court to stop it.
