The SNAP program is a government funded pipeline to illness. The SNAP eligible food list is not written by nutritionists. In fact, it's written by LOBBYISTS. How on earth is this benefiting Americans when special interests are controlling this program and subsequently making vulnerable Americans sick? The program needs... a complete overhaul.show more

@Not_socrazyCurt Another tidbit, it’s supposed to be used for AMERICANS.

Everything is so political. I say give them the basics, rice, milk, bread, cheese, potatoes, etc., they don't need soda drinks, sweets, etc. Come on RFK Jr., this should be under control by now. @RobertKennedyJr

It doesn't need a "complete overhaul", it needs to be shut it down! The 🤡🤡 in WDC are not using our money effectively, mostly it amounts to fraud. Govt welfare incentives lazy behavior & is a breeding ground for criminals.

Yep, people buy SNAP cards and sell them around here there is so much fraud, and the junk food they eat will make them sick to where they will need medical treatment, which is also funded by the taxpayers and it's all created for profit by the people who are selling to our government (read to our corrupt politicians by lobbyists) the unhealthy food. It's messed up.

Why is it the federal government’s job to feed people? Shouldn’t this power be given back to the states and let them figure it out? There are way too many people reliant on federal dollars.

FREE FOOD USED to be CONTROLLED, and given to those IDENTIFIED and as needed! NOW it's a FREE for ALL - ILLEGALS are FIRST IN LINE! Next gen Welfare - Families that REFUSE TO WORK! and of course the "Terrorist Family GROWTH" in America system!

United Healthcare is a big SNAP administrator...Solutran..does WIC too

What the f are you talking about. SNAP's only restriction is that you cannot buy hot pre-made food, other than that people are free to buy whatever they want. If you want to talk about poisoning people take it up with the food manufactures putting poison in the food. Tricky bitch

You & @timburchett are fucking idiots. You want to punish poor people. You both barely have the brain capacity to stand. I don't give a fuck if a person on snap buys soda. Who gives a fuck. You are such an evil trash human.

Change the program so the Government provides food, not money.

Sounds exactly like Congressional legislation… effectively written by lobbyists and special interest groups

SNAP has become a way of life for people. It should be temporary and only for those who are actively seeking employment or those that are employed, with kids, but don’t make very much money.

@realannapaulina Nutrition is very important! Can’t ya just smell the hypocrisy?

I'm not paying for anyone's Coca-Cola or Doritos! I'll pay for their milk, rice, eggs, flour, meat, etc that they need to SURVIVE. When I, the tax payer, am having to cut back on "luxuries" (yes, junk food is a luxury) why should someone that's NOT PRODUCING , NOT CONTRIBUTING, be enjoying those perks on MY dime?

What a joke. What is the % of the budget SNAP programs take? It's roughly 1-2% correct? @grok

We already limit what they can buy with the stupid credit card SNAP recipients get today, they should be limited to beans and rice, with a few actual physical food stamps that allow supplemental protein and vitamins. All delivered by the USPS.

You're putting this out to everybody who already knows in an echo chamber. You guys need to put this on mainstream media MSM echo chamber echo chamber echo chamber echo chamber echo chamber

Every government program is corrupt it seems. Jeez!

Snap is not constitutional! When are you in Congress and Skoda going to actually read the constitution and stop legislating from the bench things that are not in Xin in the Powers of the federal government?!

Luna is off-base. Yes, the federal welfare SNAP program is ineffective because of lobbyists but it will always be this way because federal programs don’t have to be effective and efficient. If Luna didn’t turn into Stephen Miller’s lap dog, I would recommend ending federal SNAP and letting the states handle their own populations.

Get rid of it.

You are a true patriot, ‘standing in the gap’ for all of us: God bless you.

What exactly was your prompt to Claude AI?

'We the People' cannot be held responsible for the disorders created by idiots buying non-healthy foods with the SNAP program. It is a conflict of interest to have any food company participating in the operation of the program.

@realannapaulina Did you use AI to spell check this tweet like you did for the bill? You have no human intelligence that you have to lean on artificial intelligence you help your smooth brain 🫵🏼😭

You get a per diem for food. Can us taxpayers make sure you aren't buying sugary snacks or soda with our money?

SNAP is a flat benefit. The gov’t doesn’t “spend more” if someone buys the “wrong” food. So, the only real change you’re proposing is letting the state control what poor people are allowed to eat. That’s not nutrition reform. That’s government policing diets.

@AppSame Nailed it.

Abolish SNAP. It's not the government's job to feed people 🙄

Hope you read this… END THE SNAP PROGRAM… EXPAND WIC to include seniors and disabled! Solves so many problems at one time!

STFU you lying bitch

30% of Americans who are not on snap are obese. That number goes up to 45% for people who are on snap.

The purpose of snap is not to control what people eat... it's to make sure they can eat. Perhaps we should make each congress persons' pay whatever the minim wage is in their congressional district. I bet we'd see immediate changes.
