The info at the link above was published in February 2024 seeking comments on a proposed streamlined waiver process that would make it easier for retailers to provide SNAP incentives to choose healthier foods.
They are absolutely cruel monsters, but the conclusion you drew from reading the first paragraph at that link was wrong and you used it to spin everyone up. Lying and misleading doesn’t help at all.
How is the GOP cruel if the Biden admin is the one that put out this notice?
The GOP is cruel because they are cutting SNAP benefits despite having procedures in place to continue paying benefits during a shutdown. Are you not paying attention?

It's NOT illegal for them to fund SNAP. SNAP is already funded via Contingency Fund with two $3b slogs that are good til November 2026. TWO judges found that it is legal for them to give out SNAP during a shutdown, plus existing USDA and OMB guidance said so as well - which is why SNAP continued during the shutdown in Trump's first term. The only reason they are trying to not fund SNAP is because of bullshit made-up nonsense being touted by the Trump administration.
It's also not illegal to give discounts to one customer base over another - or military discounts and other things would be illegal.
You are obviously unfamiliar with the law and just because something gets in the way of Trump's agenda, that doesn't make it "illegal."
+1 This administration has something against any policies that help the poor.
Because they want the 99% to go away or, for those who stick around, become enslaved. We use up electricity they'd much rather send to AI. First, they'll handle the poor and see what they can do to get them out of the way. Starvation may work.
What is their plan for who will use the AI if we are starved, dead, or enslaved?

Nothing new. It’s already the rule anyway. How would the stores know who receives SNAP?
It only applies when a person is using the SNAP coupon/card to pay. Which they can't do right now.

LMAO I'm glad to see the Trump supporters are willing to uphold the law when it hurts poor people. Nice to know there's a line somewhere.

"Senate Democrats have now voted 13 times to not fund the food stamp program, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Bottom line, the well has run dry. At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01. We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats. They can continue to hold out for healthcare for illegal aliens and gender mutilation procedures or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive critical nutrition assistance."
I really hope people go to jail for libeling one party so badly and for violating the Hatch Act.
This is pretty rich considering the current MAGA talking point seems to be that SNAP recipients aren’t deserving.

Say goodbye to your senior discounts and free coffee for cops!
Yeah, and discounts for “club” members or whatever any given store calls their “rewards” system. Whole Foods only offers “sales” prices to Prime members - that should be illegal.

It is illegal to discriminate against race, religion, etc., but not financial status — it is not a protected class. Stores give discounts to military, students, etc.

WTF are you talking about? The stuff you claim is "illegal" isn't. They CAN pay SNAP and stores CAN give discounts. As usual the Republicans make shit up and then claim it's the Democrats trying to break imaginary laws that you can't even cite. When in fact it's Republicans who are refusing to follow the actual law.
