Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins was told by two courts she must distribute SNAP in November. Yet she still refuses to take any accountability for the chaos and harm the Trump admin caused 42 million Americans.

Shameful.

SNAP serves children, elderly people, people with disabilities, veterans and working families. When Republicans talk about "cutting benefits," they need to say who they're choosing to go hungry.

Vance says it's absurd to feed 42 million hungry Americans.

People are hungry right now. Today. 
 
This administration and Trump have made the most heartless, lawless, choice to not follow the court order to distribute SNAP benefits.

Today, we saw Trump carry out one of the most cruel and heartless acts we have ever seen.

Using food assistance as political leverage.

A judge on Friday said Trump and Rollins could transfer additional money to fund SNAP for all of November if they choose. 

They chose to cut November benefits instead, and it's shameful.

The only honest thing Secretary Rollins said at the entire press conference. Republicans and the Trump admin have failed you.

I'm outside USDA where no one's to be found. Meanwhile, Trump and Secretary Rollins have made the choice to break the law and not use already appropriated funds to ensure SNAP benefits go out in November.

They're making a deliberate choice to let American children and seniors go hungry.

Republicans created the shutdown. Republicans control the SNAP reserve funds. Republicans have illegally decided not to use them, cutting food assistance to feed American seniors, veterans and families with children.

This isn’t complicated.
