If the Democrats hadn’t blocked government funding 12 times over the course of 5 weeks, SNAP benefits would be paid on time. Period. End of story.
But thanks to the Left’s obstruction, approximately 42 MILLION Americans will not receive their SNAP benefits on November 1st.
Contingency funds can’t save this. Democrats REFUSED to pass a clean CR and fund regular monthly benefits for fiscal year 2026. Those contingency funds are legally available only to supplement appropriated benefits when they fall short—not to replace benefits Democrats voted down. The appropriation no longer exists.
Democrats would rather see American families go hungry than give up their radical illegal aliens first agenda. That’s the truth.
