The cruelty is the point

House Republicans offered a bill to keep specifically SNAP funded while everything else is still under negotiation.

Democrats declined.

Not sure if you’re just blatantly ignorant of what’s actually happening or if this is just an attempt to smear Democrats, but it’d be nice if a Republican could take the extra 5 minutes to actually read about what’s going on. I’ll do it for you (your welcome).

Sen. Hawley introduced the “Keep SNAP Funded Act of 2025” on Oct. 21st. It’s currently with the Senate Appropriations Committee, as of that time. It’s not likely to go anywhere though as REPUBLICAN LEADERS, are not prioritizing it. From a Politico article, there were several quotes from Republicans stating that they don’t want a stopgap, that it doesn’t actually fix the problem.

But hey, it’s so much more convenient to just blame Democrats for every problem, isn’t it?
