Millions of Americans won’t receive SNAP benefits this month thanks to Trump’s shutdown. He’s refusing to use USDA contingency funds to keep the program afloat – after gutting it to help pay for tax cuts for billionaires and corporations in his big, ugly bill. This is all happening because Republicans in Congress refuse to work with Democrats to extend vital healthcare subsidies for millions of Americans.

What about You? . . . . .
Who cares who the largest recipients are? Let's just eliminate this waste in its entirety.
It won't work, Monty. They don't see things in a racial way like Democrats. Negroes are the only ones threatening to loot if their EBT benefits are cut off.
Juan, have you ever seen a fat Whitefuck eat? it takes your appetite away. Look for them at the buffet restaurants. All you can Eat and All you can Shit!
They are also a LARGER population of people stupid Mexican; there is NO PLACE in the United States where THREE-FOURTHS of the White population is on food stamps in a localized region like the Rio Grande Delta! We live in the LAND IF WELFARE and they are all lazy, shiftless, worthless MEXICANS! More deception and lies in order to protect the lazy and the stupid. Touché you stupid Mexican that wrote this blog!
Note to Robert Reich in response to your article:
I fully recognize there are many families who rely on SNAP just to get by, and I support a strong safety net for those in real need. But I’ve also seen cases that make me worry the system isn’t working as intended—like when it appears benefits are misused or the program is taken advantage of.
It can feel frustrating to pay full price for modest groceries while seeing what looks like abuse of the system, especially when there are people who legitimately need every dollar of help they receive. And this concern doesn’t stop with food assistance—some of the same issues seem to carry over into medical benefits and fraud in that area as well.
What I’d really like to see is a system that protects the truly vulnerable while being better at preventing abuse and fraud—whether it’s working under-the-table income going unreported, improper resale of goods, or exploitation of medical referrals. Strengthening oversight and accountability would help ensure resources go to families who genuinely need assistance, not to those treating the system like a side business.
I don’t want the safety net weakened. I want it to work the way it was intended—for people who would truly struggle without it.
It's the 3rd of Nov. My EBT should be IN my account. It IS NOT there! Im a Disabled Senior. No food means I will starve. Nobody in Govt cares.
I see it every damned day. Good comment.
Uh, fuck you, Bitch. It's you who always demonize foot stampers as if all of them are Brown or black. Fuck You, sonofabitch!!!
FRANK GARCIA...you are the TYPICAL, STUPID MEXICAN. Please continue showing your stupidity; everybody is laughing! Jajajaja
Please stop be so dramatic. Your fat ass won't starve. you might need to find a food bank that is willing to help anybody including you! There is help out there just get off your lazy ass and find it.
No they don't. Did you vote for Trump?
Ches moonshine drinking meth cooking barefoot in breds
Your ass is grass, puto.
I like to pee in my front porch, while i smoke my cigarette and I voted for Trump. I need my SNAP benefits.
It is time for all Americans to get food stamps. No questions asked. It is just a treat for being American. Germany has this system. They get a card and every citizen has a given amount of money deposited by the government.
Other countries give free housing to its citizens.
The USA is behind. Not a giving country.
Your post makes no sense.
The food bank is low in supplies.
