There is SNAP funding.
Even the Republicans ensured that there was 5 Billion Dollars prepared to ensure that SNAP funding could not easily run out.
It is being Withheld by Trump

Any references for this?
But the two-page document states that “contingency funds are not legally available to cover regular benefits.”
So what's the point of a "Contingency Fund" if it can't be tapped to cover contingencies?
“The document states that the contingency fund is reserved for such things as helping individuals in disaster areas. It cited Tropical Storm Melissa, which could become a major hurricane in the coming days, as an example of why it’s important to have funds available to mobilize quickly in the event of a disaster. The document was obtained by The Associated Press and was first reported by Axios.”
Gov shutdown isn’t enough I guess.
Damn, they're going to stop feeding folks so they can feed folks in case if emergency. Some genius brain shit right there.

No funding, but there's 40 billion to "buy" the election in Argentina...
And $300 million for a new ballroom, $230 million to compensate him for the FBI investigating his extensive criminal activities, etc...

Failed State.
State isn't the right word to describe the USA. States have borders and believe in national sovereignty.
America is now just a criminal syndicate with a military.
Well ok, but also that's pretty much what a state is...
A literal traitor to our nation. Enabled and protected by a literal traitor party.
Just watch.
In 1 year (midterms), and in 3, US voters who starved from this will forget all about it and vote based on whatever outrage pops up on cable news or their social feed. And, more specifically, not vote in primaries where both party's problems can really be addressed.
Well duh, obviously if it wasn't for all the illegal Mexican gang members taking all the food stamps there would have been plenty of money to help the people that deserved it, like them.

Interesting history fact of the day: It took about one and a half years from Hitler coming to power to the night of the long knives.
Republicans: cutting food assistance
Also Republicans: "Waaaah! Why aren't people having kids?"

He's also doing it because it's what billionaires want.
Hmm these people don't want to work a 996 to afford my enshitified garbage, better fund lobbying to starve them to death and if that doesn't work I'll make sure to fund propaganda to stoke racial tensions then just in case they get wise as a last line of defense why not fund the modern day Gestapo
Damn it, I knew it was time to go to the gun store but I was putting it off.
Actually starving people out is a great way to get them to revolt.
Literally the actual thing that lit off the French Revolution. It wasn't just the taxes. It wasn't the bad labor practices. It wasn't the decadence of the rich. It was women marching to the palace because so many couldn't afford bread.

Incase anyone wants to help their local community. I talked to my local food pantry today and they said they prefer financial donations vs food drops. They can make a dollar go further than we can at the grocery store

The US government seems to want people to violently revolt.
I imagine they want to use it as an excuse to take absolute power. But I don't think they thought it thoroughly.
exactly this….
food riots/ looting -> martial law -> dictatorship
Oh the trump administration is 100% hoping people revolt - they're already discussing invoking the insurrection act
he would need the miltiary on his side, but it doesnt seem like they are too keen to do this, considered they are also furloughed. that 130mil isnt even going to the troops too.

A tyrant exercises power in a manner that is arbitrary, unreasonable, and cruel.
Trump makes it a point to always do all 3 simultaneously
MAGAts seeth with resentment at being told that they are backwards, ignorant, stupid racists. They want to hurt people because they have been hurt. They never think about improving themselves or not being backwards, ignorant, stupid racists. They love Donald Trump because he hurts people. MAGA had a hardon for cruelty.

Have they tried having their parents put them on the company board?
have they tried not being poor? or get an MBA and become a ceo?
A shit stain in history
My friend, cruelty is not only the theme of his administration - it's the theme of many of it's backers too.
are you "there yet" America?
If you oppose forcing starvation on young families, disabled people, and our elderly, please give what you can here:
I thought it hurt enough in the aughts, and in 2017-2020 that we'd do something about it, but we didn't.
So it's going to hurt more. Our aristocrats seem determined to let the third estate know its place.
Seems to me that cruelty is the theme of conservative governments worldwide.
Trump said he is probably not going to heaven. I feel kind of certain of that... I mean, assuming there is a god even.

So, my first question is why hasn't it been an issue before? Was the timing so that they wouldn't miss a payment? Or was there a vote to make an exception for snap? Not in favor of this at all, I just don't understand the mechanisms of a lot of this.
