The Trump administration has the funds and full authority to prevent millions of people going hungry, but is again playing politics with people’s lives. Food should never be a political weapon.
🚨"If the SNAP program shuts down, we will have the most mass hunger suffering we've had in America since the Great Depression."
This is a moral outrage. Congress must reopen the gov. now & fund the essential programs our communities need.

SNAP, the country's largest anti-hunger program, dates back to the Great Depression and has never been disrupted this way. Most recipients are seniors, families with kids, and those with disabilities.
