The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

History has taught us that this is precisely when Donald Trump is most dangerous — and when Republicans turn to voter suppression, election subversion and worse. With the 2026 midterm elections less than a year away, Trump is already plotting his next moves.
