Let me be clear — there are contingency funds available to fully fund SNAP while we are in this Republican shutdown. But what is Trump doing? He’s doing everything in his power to withhold these benefits, making Americans go hungry.

What Trump and Republicans are doing — using the shutdown to withhold emergency SNAP funds that could feed millions — is sadistic. Literally reveling in their own cruelty. They’ll cut taxes for billionaires but let children go hungry. A national scandal.

Letting people go hungry in this shutdown is a choice Trump is intentionally making. He could tell the USDA to use contingency funds to ensure families get their SNAP benefits on November 1st, he’s just choosing not to.

I spent time packaging and passing out food at food banks to help our neighbors during this Republican shutdown. These food banks are doing incredible work as they brace for SNAP—but it doesn’t have to be this way. Trump can and should use contingency funds to keep people fed.

Let’s be clear here—Trump has the funds to ensure 42 million Americans don’t lose access to SNAP benefits on Saturday. But, they are CHOOSING to let Americans starve. That’s why I introduced the SNAP BACK Act today—to ensure families are fed. We will not let Americans starve.

Let me be very clear: Donald Trump deliberately chose to stop SNAP benefits from flowing to 42 million hungry Americans. And this is after he and Republicans cut $186 billion from SNAP in their Big Bad Betrayal Bill. They are simply abandoning hungry American families.

There is a contingency fund that Trump and his lapdogs in Congress have claimed has run dry. That is a lie. There is up to $6 billion in that fund to provide SNAP/CalFresh benefits during shutdowns. Republicans are playing politics.

Donald Trump is doing what no president has done before, blocking food assistance during a shutdown. Democrats are fighting to fund SNAP so little kids, veterans and seniors don’t go hungry. —Elizabeth Warren

President Trump is choosing to starve Americans during this shutdown instead of using the emergency funds his own USDA said could fund SNAP benefits through November. Angie Craig and I are fighting back. If he wanted to, he would.

Donald Trump's refusal to fund SNAP is heartless. He thinks 42 million Americans don’t deserve to eat this November. But the law, his own shutdown guidance, and past practice dictate that USDA use contingency to cover regular benefits.

The Trump Administration must use contingency funds, set aside for this very purpose in emergencies, to pay SNAP benefits to hungry kids, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities.

1 in 4 kids rely on SNAP food assistance benefits. Those children will go hungry this November because Republicans shut down the government and Trump refuses to use contingency funds to keep this program running.

🚨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 knows the midterms are about to be a disaster for Republicans and he is already doing everything in his power to steal the elections. We can’t let that happen. That’s why I’m taking action in Congress to stop this illegal power grab.

SNAP is essential for over 40 million Americans. Trump was just fine with them going hungry. The President should do everything in his power to make sure SNAP is fully, not just partially, funded.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

We are the richest country in the world. There is no reason that kids and seniors in our country should ever go hungry. We need SNAP benefits to be distributed now.

KAROLINE LEAVITT: “If Democrats continue to hold Americans hostage, there will not be enough funds to provide SNAP benefits for more than 40 million Americans on November 1st. That is next week.” “Democrats are solely responsible for all of this unnecessary pain. Why are they doing it? To give taxpayer-funded healthcare benefits to illegal aliens.”

Trump must use emergency contingency funds & other revenues to fully cover SNAP benefits, not play politics with hunger in America. He said he’d obey court “direction.” Now he’s defying two courts.

BREAKING: Two judges have ruled that Trump is REQUIRED to pay SNAP benefits with emergency funds. There will still be delays, and there's nowhere near enough money to fully fund it, so expect looting. Especially if this gets stayed or successfully appealed.. These judges are OUT OF CONTROL.

Let us be clear, letting 42 million Americans go without food this weekend—half of whom are children—is WRONG and a CHOICE. The funds are there, but the White House is trying to leverage hungry kids for a political agenda. Mr. President, American lives are not a political game, and we are not here to play.
