https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/usda-website-blames-snap-benefits>This morning, news broke that the Trump administration will not use emergency funds to pay out SNAP benefits to the millions of Americans who rely on them starting November 1. The benefits are set to expire as the government shutdown drags on, with Democrats and Republicans at an impasse over a series of funding bills for FY 2026 loaded with conservative policy riders. The main sticking point centers on whether to extend Obamacare subsidies—without which millions could see their health insurance costs skyrocket. In an official notice posted to the USDA website, the administration blamed Democrats for the lapse, accusing them of holding out for “healthcare for illegal aliens and gender mutilation procedures”—a message that scapegoats marginalized groups and, experts warn, may itself violate federal law.>“Senate Democrats have now voted 12 times to not fund the food stamp program, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Bottom line, the well has run dry. At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01. We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats. They can continue to hold out for healthcare for illegal aliens and gender mutilation procedures or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive critical nutrition assistance,” reads the memo posted on top of the USDA website as of Monday morning.
