Federal SNAP benefits will cease on Nov. 1 because Trump is refusing to tap into billions in existing reserves, choosing instead to cruelly politicize the feeding of hungry Americans. In Maryland, ~700K people rely on SNAP, including ~270K children & 122K seniors. www.wypr.org/wypr-news/20...
Maryland will not use state funds to pay for SNAP if payments stop on Nov. 1
The federal shutdown is causing SNAP benefits to halt.

As the House Appropriations Committee is touring the area in Western Maryland devastated by flooding, the Trump administration has announced that it is denying the appeal for FEMA funding. Why? Because we are a “blue state” even though the affected area is mostly Republican. Despicable.
