IDHS: SNAP Federal Impact Center
In the past, when the government shut down, Congress fixed the problem before families missed their benefits. But this time, the U.S. government is halting SNAP benefit payments nationwide, for the first time in the program's 60+ year history.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.
