We always said the law required Trump to keep SNAP going using the funding Congress provided.

Now he's filing an *appeal* to try to deny food to 42 million Americans, using the shutdown as a pretext.

Donald Trump and Republicans have repeatedly made life harder for the American people during this shutdown.
They should try helping them instead, and work with Democrats to lower health care costs for millions of Americans.
That's what the American people are asking for.

The Trump Administration is legally required to pay every federal worker at the end of any shutdown without exception. The law is not ambiguous, it clearly bars this wanton cruelty and if Trump pursues it he will lose.
Breaking news: The Trump administration is sending messages to federal staff suggesting only those who are working during the government shutdown will be paid when it ends, despite a 2019 law that guarantees pay to furloughed employees, too.
Administration hints furloughed workers may not be paid after shutdown
Agencies are sending messages indicating that workers who are on the job will be paid when the government reopens — with no mention of those on furlough, despite a 2019 law protecting their wages.
