Bloomberg Television· 2025-11-03 22:11
Day 34. What does this mean for the state of New York having at least some of these food stamps covered. And how long can the administration keep that going.Well, assuming they're talking about depleting the emergency fund, that's roughly $6 billion. And food stamps for an entire month under SNAP benefits is over 9 billion. So, you know, theoretically, this will extend benefits for a few weeks.But again, we shouldn't even be in this situation.

President Trump is posting, and again, I've read this a few times. I can't really make sense of it. It sort of circles in on itself a few times. Our government lawyers do not think we have the legal authority to pay SNAP with certain monies we have available. Now, courts have issued conflicting opinions on what we can and can't do. I've instructed our lawyers to ask the court to clarify how we can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible. Even if we get immediate guidance, it will unfortunately be delayed whil ...

Mike Johnson gives away the Republican game on SNAP and the shutdown
MSNBC· 2025-10-31 04:12
Congress has set aside a specific fund for programs like SNAP for emergencies. And as the judge put it in federal court today, quote, "It's hard for me to understand that this is not an emergency when there's no money and a lot of people are needing their SNAP benefits." I think it's really important to be clear about what Republicans were trying to do here. They were jinning up excuses to actively force 42 million Americans to lose their SNAP benefits when they didn't have to.They were choosing to take foo ...
