The USDA website displays a banner blaming Democrats for the expiration of SNAP.

“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,” the website reads.

The Facts
The message is a direct reference to the fact that Democrats have declined to vote for the temporary funding bill that would restore SNAP benefits. There have been 13 votes on the bill as of Tuesday afternoon and only two Democrats—Senators Catherine Cortez-Masto of Nevada and John Fetterman of Pennsylvania—have voted in favor of the bill.

The others continue to hold out while seeking a compromise on ACA subsidies.

Both Democrats and Republicans have sought to cast blame on each other as the risk of delay to SNAP benefits grows. Republicans have accused Democrats of declining to vote for the funding bill as the reason why the benefits will expire, but Schumer, a New York Democrat, has said that the Trump administration is to blame.

In remarks on the Senate floor, Schumer accused President Donald Trump of ordering USDA to “rip up its own contingency plan” on SNAP benefits.

“Let’s be clear about the facts. There is somewhere around five billion dollars in emergency funds that could be used right now to ensure parents and kids don’t go hungry when SNAP runs out this Saturday. The USDA said weeks ago that contingency funds were ‘available to fund participant benefits,’” Schumer said.

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has said that SNAP funds must be appropriated by Congress, so the contingency funds are not legally available.

"The best way for SNAP benefits to be paid on time is for the Democrats to end their shutdown," Johnson said in a press conference this week.

===The Ruling===
True.

It is accurate that Democrats have voted against the funding bill that would include SNAP funding, even as they have pointed to opportunities for alternative funding mechanisms for the program until a deal is reached.

OH SHIT!
Trannies, faggots, and assorted browns of the board are BTFO forever.

>>1453245
Reminder Republicans literally deleted from SNAP's website the policy that lists how they can use their emergency funds in case of shutdown to ensure people can still eat, solely so that Johnson could go and lie that it was illegal for them to use the funds for that purpose.

>>1453245
Good bait post

Republican owned government.

Republican owned government shutdown.

>>1453249
Is that you in the op?

>>1453254
Republicans are literally all voting to fund the government.
Democrats are not
Democrats blocked funding for SNAP benefits.

These are all FACTS

>>1453255
It's AI slop. Also the outdated hairstyle that chuds think all leftists have stopped being funny in 2019.

>>1453255
No, but this is the truth. Cope.

>republicunts continue to forget that only MAGA is dumb enough to fall for these sorts of lies
lmao

>>1453260
It's a newsweek clickbait story. No one with a brain takes it seriously.

>>1453254
You clearly mean "the loser party no one voted for trying to maintain relevance by excercising their small amount of loser power and hoping that retards are dumb enough to blame the people who are trying to fund the government".

>>1453262
You already know the democrats aren't going to vote for anything that doesn't restore healthcare funding for 20 million Americans, funding which was purposely not renewed in Trump's BBB.

>>1453263
Why do we need to continue the temporary funding?

>hey, we're really getting our asses kicked in this shutdown fight
>Dems are winning special elections all over
>polls are in the shitter
>no ones falling for our lies about not negotiating
>whats the shittiest, most transparent way we can reframe this argument to blame dems?
>wait, whats this newsweek article?
>...thats too shitty

>>1453266
But your post is like all lies.
even >>1453263 agrees that Dems aren't voting thus keeping the government shut down.
And Democrats are not winning special elections all over.

>saar you should think like my colleagues shitpost saar

>>1453257
Here are the only three relevant facts
1. The government is shut down
2. Republicans have the power to reopen the government without a single Democrat vote
3. Democrats do not have the power to reopen the government without a single Republican vote

>>1453270
>Republicans have the power to reopen the government without a single Democrat vote
You want them to go nuclear?
Is that the whole ploy here, Democrats want to shut down the government for so long by abusing the filibuster that Republicans decide it has to go so that there aren't food riots caused by Democrats?

I'd honestly prefer the Democrats just stop shutting down the government

>>1453275
>I'd honestly prefer the Democrats just stop shutting down the government

The Republican delusion is real, y'all.

>>1453265
Because Americans need healthcare.

>newsweek

>>1453275
>abusing the filibuster
You spelled "using" wrong.
The entire point of having a system where a single Senator can filibuster a bill, but 60 Senators can overcome the filibuster, is to force cooperation and negotiation between parties to reach a majority consensus.
So far, Republicans have pushed the exact same bill Democrats don't support 13 times with no changes at all, while simultaneously not only refusing to negotiate but actively blocking avenues of negotiation.
If Republicans don't want the filibuster to be used, then kill it.
If they want the filibuster to remain an option, then sit down and work with Democrats to get the votes needed to pass the bill.
But no. They want each of the 47 Democrats to independently give up their right to filibuster so Republicans can pass a bill with less than 60 votes now, so that when the day comes that they're no longer the majority party they still have the option to use it.
Republicans are trying to have it both ways and using the lives and livelihoods of American citizens to do it.

>>1453275
The simple majority change to passing the budget may very well be the endgame for them as I don't think they really ever expect to have a controlling majority ever again.

>no negotiations, just pass the clean CR
>dems are trying to get healthcare for illegals
>dems are trying to destroy the country because they want healthcare for ilelals
>dems are holding the government hostage to please far left terrorists
>dems expected R's to crumble, but now they're held hostage by far left terrorists
>dems hate government workers and the deep state
>dems are trying to get healthcare for illegals and send billions to other countries
>dems are pulling a stunt because they hate trump
>dems are bragging about not losing the shutdown fight because they're evil
>dems want people to starve
>dems want federal workers and people to starve
>dems are actively voting against people being fed
the cope continues

>>1453305
Keep trying to frame "Millions of people see their health insurance rates double" as "Healthcare for illegals".

>>1453307
Why are they doubling? The subsidy was temporary. What happened?

>>1453308
>Guys the subsidy was temporary
>Ignore why it was made and how millions will lose their health insurance
>This is good actually
You sure you want Republicans to be the party that caused millions to die because they couldn't afford healthcare?

>>1453308
>What happened?
He missed a dose of meds. He gets like this when he's unmedicated

You don't like them because they point out your hypocrisy.

If I wanted Fox News's talking points I'd go to foxnews.com.

>>1453290
>is to force cooperation and negotiation between parties to reach a majority consensus

and now Democrats and leftists think that should go away. Because leftists (including the underage children of /news/) don't understand how beneficial negotiation is.

But it requires negotiating in good faith. Democrats holding food stamps hostage is not negotiating in good faith.

>>1453263
>>1453279
can you explain why you think poor Americans should starve though? What do food stamps have to do with healthcare?

>>1453334
does this inversion of the truth work on facebook?

>>1453335
You keep repeating the false premise that it's Democrats who started this. Republicans want poor people to starve or else they would have included the funding in Trump's Big Beautiful Bill.

>>1453336
>inversion of the truth
That's not bad, I'm gonna use that.

>>1453343
>BUT HE STARTED IT!!
Really? All you have is like grade school comebacks?

The government is shut down right now because Democrats are blocking anyone from voting on funding

>>1453351
You're hilarious.
>grade school comebacks
It's true that Republicans don't want to compromise like adults if that's what you mean.

>>1453351
>Really? All you have is like grade school comebacks?
Oh, fuck off, no. MAGA doesn't get to accuse anyone of that.

>>1453263

Word you are looking for is "Illegals" anon.


Bleeding-heart fascist fuckwits need to foot your own commie bills, set up a gogibme fund for your filth.

>>1453310
>Cannot afford healthcare
>Get healthcare on government gibs
>Gibs end, can now not afford healthcare again
>Lose healthcare because it is a good that you cannot afford

This seems like a normal extension of events to me. If you can't afford something then you cannot continue to purchase it. If you want healthcare for Americans, you need to stop pushing to fund emergency COVID programs and instead start pushing for some kind of legislation that brings healthcare into affordability for actual American citizens working normal jobs. Emergency subsidies are not meant to continue past the end of the emergency.

>>1453369
>Buzzwords
NTA, but the browns are not Americans. If you came here from anywhere South of Texas you shouldn't get funding for anything until every single American is fed, housed and insured. No exceptions.

>>1453312
>>1453314
The faggots fought for slavery and now they fight for soft slavery.


All for this for the easy vote.
For a reason to have infrastructure to 'help and aid the downtrodden' that they ship in. Funding to scrape and get their kickback cuts off of.

No, Americans. Unless you're arguing that somehow only illegals have health insurance backed by those ACA credits.

Illegals. There are no hispanic Americans. We fought a war with Mexico resulting in an official treaty ceding all claim whatsoever to anything north of the Rio Grande. Until you brown faggots fight another war that overturns that treaty, there are no hispanic Americans. No exceptions.

>>1453393
The funny part is you will keep saying Democrats are the racist party while holding these racist viewpoints.

I accept your concession.

There aren't even billions of people. You might top a billion when you put the EU and the US together, and that's all the people there are. Everyone else around is just subhumans spewing shit every time they open their mouths.

Here's your (You) faggot. Come back with an argument next time.

That fucking picture. Libs live rent free in your head.

They exist, they're just not Americans. Central and South America are so named because they exist within the geographical and military ownership of the United States, not because they're part of the United States. You have the Monroe Doctrine, it doesn't make you people.

do you have any idea how much money they've spent on skin bleaching
they paid and suffered to be white, and you keep mocking them for being brown

Why are democrat voters so stupid and mentally ill? That needs to be researched.

this would be true if democrat locales weren't used to community outreach and mutual aid. republicans on the other hand...

>>1453577
Most food banks are operated by either the government or Christian organizations, and one of them isn't getting much funding right now

>>1453577
I take this back: >>1453578
Nearly 2/3 of all food banks in the US are operated by religious organizations https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-022-12847-0
I think the conservative states will do just fine, and the Democrat states will do what they do best and riot and loot

>>1453584
>>1453583
Look, just take L and go. Consecutive states have plenty of support structure in place in the form of religious-based food banks that are already able to help people.

I don't know what sort of community support network you were imagining, maybe everybody coming out and playing drums and smoking weed chanting "hey hey ho ho we don't like Trump he's got to go" while the corner stores get vandalized?

>>1453585
no they don't, conservative churches are praying the world ends, the only churches that have any semblance of culture or community these days are in cities. but feel free to stay under the shelter of your misconceptions

>>1453585 is already taking the L for not putting a certain word between 'take' and 'L'. But then, your words have no value or practical use whatsoever. Now give me a recipe for beef tandoori, illiterate shill bot. I'll pass it on to the food banks.
