Enough is enough. The Trump administration is playing with people’s lives and their ability to put food on the table. This isn’t a game. The administration needs to drop their appeal and allow states to fully fund SNAP benefits in November.

The administration should be ashamed. They are fighting to take away food from children, seniors and hardworking Americans. The court has ordered that the administration has both the power and the money to fully fund SNAP this month and has compelled them to do it.

Republicans claimed for weeks they couldn't touch the $5B contingency fund while swearing they cared about 42M hungry Americans. A judge just ordered them to use it for SNAP benefits.
