Because I'm curious, I looked up benefit levels for SNAP/Food Stamps. Here are current USDA charts. If you're a person with absolutely zero income, you'd get $298. But most people have some income, so benefits would be much less. If over $1696, you don't qualify.

Do not cave to Trump!
Inside a tense, three-hour meeting at the Capitol on Tuesday, a fiery Senator Bernie Sanders urged Democrats not to yield to Republicans without a real victory on health care. He was armed with fresh polling that showed voters would punish the party for giving up with nothing in return.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

SNAP, CalFresh, Food Stamps not only prevents hunger, grocery stores rely on that monthly government bump to remain operational. It's a circle of life and commerce. While families go hungry, small stores will go under, too.
