The USDA has $6 billion in contingency reserves for occasions like this. The Trump regime is making a purely political choice (one that is illegal of course) to stop paying SNAP benefits. They believe that if 40 million Americans start going hungry, Democrats will get the blame, helping Trump.
Secretary Rollins’ claim that the Trump Administration is unable to deliver November SNAP benefits during a shutdown is unequivocally false. The Administration is legally required to use contingency reserves to fund benefits for the 1 in 8 Americans who need SNAP to afford their grocery bill.
15.7 million workers (≈ 10% of all workers) lived in households where someone participated in SNAP in the last year. (CBPP)

For every meal the food bank provides, the SNAP program provides 9.
Even if donations are rapidly scaled up, they won’t be able to meet the needs of 42 million Americans who are about to go hungry.
It’s not sustainable.

Jackie Kennedy’s primary goal was to turn the White House into a museum that reflected America's past. She believed the WH should be a testament to the nation's heritage & hosted events featuring American artists, musicians, & writers.
