SNAP, also known as food stamps, is fully funded by the federal government and helps about 86,000 Utah households buy food each month, the state said. With the continual government shutdown, that aid will cease.

No food stamps? Why federal shutdown will lead to more empty shelves, empty bellies for Utahns

PLEASE donate to a food bank near you if you can.
There is going to be a much bigger use of food banks because Republicans shutdown the government.

Many many more people (unfortunately) will have to use a food bank. Thanks to Republicans.

What does Trump/Putin have on all the Republicans in Congress?
Why aren't they upholding their oath of office?
They are not working for #WeThePeople.
Vote them all out

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Families are already hanging by a thread, but the sad truth is it’s about to get a lot worse when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November.

It’s time to find our local food banks and help out with donations and volunteer hours if you are able.

Why are the Republicans in Congress not doing their job? They gave all their power to trump.
Have they forgotten that Congress is an equal and separate branch of government. Maybe the most powerful.
Do your job or resign.
