Trump has $6 billion in emergency SNAP funds. Congress set it aside specifically for shutdowns like this. He's refusing to use it.
They deleted their original plans saying they’d do it. Now 42 million people go hungry starting November 1st.

We're close to a government shutdown.
Here's what's actually happening: Republicans are refusing to extend the enhanced ACA in the next budget. Those subsidies keep 22 million people covered and prevent premiums from spiking 75% for millions more.

Exactly!
Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House.
If the government shuts down, it's because they chose to shut it down rather than pass a budget that serves the people.

Trump and Congressional Republicans are willing to cut what Americans depend on most - health care, education, and food assistance.
But they're not willing to negotiate on the budget.
If this refusal leads to a government shutdown, they will be to blame.
