Subject: Why block snap benefits?
SNAP wasn't halted in the last shutdown.
The Trump administration CHOSE to do it. The courts ruled they need to continue SNAP but the Trump administration is fighting it.
Meanwhile they have billions for Argentina, private jets for Noem and everything else, but not SNAP.
Sorry but "it's the Dems fault" just doesn't fly.

It’s difficult because it’s wrong. Repeating lies doesn’t make them true.
Democrats have voted 15 times since September AGAINST funding the government, including SNAP. That’s literally why there is no money. Period, full stop.
Why do you insist on lying about this situation? What’s in it for you?

None of this makes sense to me.
This doesn’t make sense because our government has reached a severe point of dysfunction. If this was a parliamentary system they would be calling a new election right now. It’s really bad.
And Trump would be booted out.
OUR only option is impeachment.
And the puppets the Republicans put in office won’t do their jobs (of honoring the Constitution). They literally have not reported to work for 8 weeks—though they are collecting paychecks.
The Democrats stand ready to negotiate. The Republicans won’t even show up in DC.
What’s there to negotiate?
Getting enough votes for their CR comes to mind. You know, like any party without a supermajority in the Senate is required to do.
You know what also comes to mind? The 13 times Republican senators voted for Democrat CR during the Biden administration. You know, when the Democrats didn’t have a supermajority.
Clearly they felt they had had sufficient input in the budget they were extending. Lesson learned for republicans to get buy-in.

The Republicans haven’t involved the Democrats in anything all year. Not sure why they expect unconditional support now. Period, full stop.
This is completely untrue. For the first time in many years Leader Thune was bring approps bills to the floor under regular order. The Democrats have been historically obstructing things all year from nominations to the CR votes.

Thes problems can all be traced to 18th and 19th Century compromises to give slaveowners extra votes as incentive to keep them in the United States.

The administration went to SCOTUS to make sure they didn't have to pay SNAP. The campaign ads write themselves.
