The good news: Louisiana is doing far more than most states to keep people fed as the Trump administration cuts of food benefits during the shutdown. The bad: Not everyone will be covered, and workers who administer SNAP are facing furloughs.

That's a wrap on the #lalege special session, where lawmakers pushed back the 2026 partisan primary elections in anticipation of a Supreme Court ruling in the Callais case, and worked to ensure that SNAP benefits get paid during the shutdown.

Louisiana Senate votes 32-1 for a resolution to pay SNAP benefits using state dollars while the federal government is shut down. Helping low-income families keep food on the table is not a partisan issue in Louisiana. Final passage. #lalege #lagov legis.la.gov/legis/BillIn...

The Louisiana House just voted 97-0 for a resolution urging the state health department to pay November SNAP benefits using state resources while federal payments are on hold during the shutdown. Good. Feeding hungry kids should never be a partisan issue. #lalege
