The Trump regime is now telling states to unsend SNAP benefits.
They want to do everything they can to make life harder for people.
It’s said often, but always worth repeating: the cruelty is the point.

All it would take to end this shutdown is for Republicans to agree to extend ACA tax credits, something that would directly help millions of Americans.
It’s way past time to get to the negotiating table and end this.
