Jeffries: Democrats are going to offer an amendment to get that self dealing sick provision out… The notion that Republicans would give themselves the ability to rip millions of taxpayer dollars away so they can line their pockets, because these people were insurrectionist sympathizers is insanity.

It’s been 6 weeks since Adelita Grijalva won her election.
Mike Johnson won’t swear her in & is dragging out the longest shutdown in history.
Congress is being paid.
They’re getting top of the line healthcare.
They’re not going hungry.
Yet they refuse to do their job.

The USDA has $6 billion in contingency reserves for occasions like this. The Trump regime is making a purely political choice (one that is illegal of course) to stop paying SNAP benefits. They believe that if 40 million Americans start going hungry, Democrats will get the blame, helping Trump.
Secretary Rollins’ claim that the Trump Administration is unable to deliver November SNAP benefits during a shutdown is unequivocally false. The Administration is legally required to use contingency reserves to fund benefits for the 1 in 8 Americans who need SNAP to afford their grocery bill.
