Federal SNAP benefits will cease on Nov. 1 because Trump is refusing to tap into billions in existing reserves, choosing instead to cruelly politicize the feeding of hungry Americans. In Maryland, ~700K people rely on SNAP, including ~270K children & 122K seniors. www.wypr.org/wypr-news/20...
Maryland will not use state funds to pay for SNAP if payments stop on Nov. 1
