As you think of others far away, think of yourself.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.
Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.
Don’t forget this.

I'll quote post you back. Why this passive aggressiveness?
It seems to me that you do not work in a school environment. If you did, you would know:
- teachers (and staff) are aware of medical conditions of students.
- If you need an exemption to a rule, you (parent, not the kid) need to justify it.

This is what I'm talking about.
Rather than accepting that using a smartphone for diabetes care is a "reasonable adjustment" or an "obvious exemption", we're having to justify the entire diabetes care infrastructure.
And we're rational adults, not children in the midst of a hypoglycaemic episode.
