3/4: Disabled adults rely on SNAP at more than double the rate of others (20.4% vs 8.3%). Restricting benefits during a shutdown isn't governing—it's weaponizing hunger against vulnerable people.

2/4: Disabled people make up 25% of SNAP recipients but only 13% of the population. Cutting SNAP isn't about fiscal responsibility—it's about denying disabled people access to basic necessities.
