Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Donald Trump is refusing to use SNAP's emergency fund to ensure working families and seniors can access food assistance next month. He wants this shutdown to hurt and is making it as painful as possible for Americans instead of coming to the table to reopen the government.
