SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Roberto has been an irrigator for the last 10 years in Salinas CA: This day we connected 2,000 pipes to irrigate lettuce. To do this we had to clean the area removing rocks and other debris. We then connected the pipes. It took 10 hours to get this field ready. #WeFeedYou

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke.
Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours.
Incredible.

The shutdown, part of wider cuts, will mean “more people forced into institutional settings.”
