It is coldhearted of the administration to dismiss the hurt that Americans across the country are feeling right now. The Trump administration should drop its appeal and do the right thing – fully fund SNAP now.

My Republican colleagues must stand up to this lawlessness and unequivocally demand that the president disburse SNAP benefits as is required by law.

If he had an ounce of compassion, he would instruct his agriculture secretary to use her transfer authority to fully fund the rest of this critical food assistance program, too.
