Two separate courts issued rulings on SNAP benefits (a.k.a. food stamps) this afternoon. With SNAP set to expire tomorrow for millions of Americans due to the Schumer shutdown, judges ordered the Trump administration to pay it out regardless. In response, President Trump released a statement on Truth Social, stating he has asked the court to “clarify how we can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible.” He reiterated his commitment to ensuring people who need food benefits do not go hungry, mirroring his approach with military and law enforcement funding. Trump also shifted blame onto Democrats, accusing them of harming Americans for “their own political reasons.” He directed individuals receiving SNAP benefits to contact Chuck Schumer’s office, urging them to call his number and demand the government be reopened. The statement emphasized that while the administration faces legal challenges over funding mechanisms, Trump pledged to act swiftly if given clarity, calling it “my honor” to support Americans.
