SNAP Web pages Are Hitting Back At The GOP By Giving It A Taste Of Its Own Medicine

Story by Elyse Wanshel


It seems that some blue states have finally snapped when it comes to President Donald Trump’s administration insisting that the government shutdown is the fault of Democrats.

So, they’ve decided to inform visitors that if they’re panicking because Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits will be paused on Nov. 1 due to the shutdown, they can blame the GOP.


The official Massachusetts state web page for SNAP benefits now has an alert that says, “President Trump is currently choosing to not issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table.”
The alert expands to say: “Starting in November, on a rolling basis some people will see a cut in SNAP because of changes Congressional Republicans and President Trump enacted in the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill.’”

California’s social services website boasts a similar message.

“The federal government has shut down due to the failures of the President and Congress to continue government funding,” it reads in part.

The alerts seem to be giving Trump and the GOP a taste of their own medicine. At the beginning of the shutdown, multiple federal websites displayed pop-ups and banners that blamed Democrats for the situation.

Illinois decided to play tit-for-tat as well.

“Federal officials with the Trump Administration have told all states that if the Republican federal government shutdown continues, it won’t pay for SNAP (food stamp) benefits in November. As a result, SNAP customers will not receive November food benefits - unless there is further action from the Trump administration to reopen the government,” a notice reads.
