SNAP benefits
This is important. The administration's decision to partially fund November food stamps means weeks of delays.
IF they had fully funded the program which they have plenty of funds available to do and have for other purposes from other funds-tariff revenue, R & D etc. there would been NO delay in sending out the payments. They could go right out.
Remember they didn't want to pay ANY benefits. It took 25 Democratic Attorney Generals going to court to make them do that. No Republicans joined in fight.
NO president has ever not funded SNAP including in shutdowns.
Administration now says they can before contingency fund depleted provide 65% of November instead of original 50%
