Trump's Administration could release the full SNAP funding currently available right now. Yet, he has fought it every step of the way. Hungry children should not be penalized as we keep working to reopen the government.

Trump could easily release SNAP funding, but had to be taken to court. He must immediately release the contingency funding instead of forcing Americans to go hungry since he refuses to negotiate and open the government.

750,000 Alabamians rely on SNAP to put food on the table. If Trump won’t work with us to reopen government, his administration should immediately release the $5 billion in emergency SNAP funds. We cannot let families go hungry!

BREAKING: President Trump has instructed government lawyers to seek court guidance on legally funding SNAP benefits. He also shared “Cryin’” Sen. Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) phone number, urging American patriots to call and demand the government be reopened. Trump wrote on Truth Social: “Our Government lawyers do not think we have the legal authority to pay SNAP with certain monies we have available, and now two Courts have issued conflicting opinions on what we can and cannot do. I do NOT want Americans to go hungry just because the Radical Democrats refuse to do the right thing and REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT.” “Therefore, I have instructed our lawyers to ask the Court to clarify how we can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible. It is already delayed enough due to the Democrats keeping the Government closed through the monthly payment date and, even if we get immediate guidance, it will unfortunately be delayed while States get the money out.” “If we are given the appropriate legal direction by the Court, it will BE MY HONOR to provide the funding, just like I did with Military and Law Enforcement Pay. The Democrats should quit this charade where they hurt people for their own political reasons, and immediately REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT. If you use SNAP benefits, call the Senate Democrats, and tell them to reopen the Government, NOW! Here is Cryin’ Chuck Schumer’s Office Number: (202) 224-6542”

As Chairwoman of the Task Force of the Declassification of Federal Secrets, we have been working overtime to bring declassification of all materials regarding UAP’s and disclosure yet we have been stonewalled by various bureaucratic agencies every step of the way. This release of the first tranche of documents marks a HUGE step in the right direction and there will be MUCH more to come.

Hungry families across the country cannot wait for the majority in D.C. to do their jobs. The 42 million Americans who rely on SNAP need certainty, now. We urge the The White House and Dept. of Agriculture to immediately release available SNAP funding so people can feed their family.

Child poverty has tripled since 2021. In America, a shocking 1 in 8 children live in poverty. And as Trump withholds SNAP funding, even more kids will go hungry. It does not have to be this way.

For years, food banks have struggled to keep up with rising demand. Now, Republicans are refusing to fund SNAP to support them. We can fund SNAP, protect healthcare, AND reopen the government. Anything less is a reflection of political unwillingness to support working families.

We watched in horror as, during President Trump's first administration, the deep state—the bureaucracy in this town—tried to bring him down in every way they could. We watched as Comey lied in front of Congress. Now we’re seeing a concerted effort from this administration to right those wrongs. This Comey indictment is absolute justice.

BERMAN: Congress passed this funding. The White House now says it's not going to spend it. Coincidentally, the two Democratic leaders dealing with this shutdown are from New York. Is this the right thing to do? REP. CARLOS GIMENEZ: Ah -- even when we pass the projects, the administration has to look at, are they still viable? BERMAN: You seem to be working through this as we're talking and working hard not to go against the administration

🚨DEMOCRATS DELIVER BIG RESULTS: Illinois Governor Pritzker has just BALANCED the budget for the EIGHT consecutive time in his state. It prioritizes affordability for working families without raising taxes on working people. That includes $400 payments to Illinois families kicked off of SNAP by the Trump administration. This is EXACTLY how Democrats should lead - in a way that centers the working class as the federal government strips resources and funding from states. This is HUGE.
