If they fought for health care half as hard as they do to keep food from hungry families, this whole mess would be solved by now.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
DATE:
November 8, 2025
SUBJECT: Updated Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
November Benefit Issuance
TO:
Regional Directors
SNAP Division
All Regions
SNAP State Agency Directors
All State Agencies
This memorandum is a follow up to the guidance shared on October 10, October 24, November 4, November 5, and November 7, 2025, regarding Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for November 2025.
The U.S. Supreme Court granted the U.S. Department of Agriculture an administrative stay of the orders issued by the District Court of Rhode Island in Rhode Island State Council of Churches, et al. v. Rollins, 25-cv-569. Pending any explicit direction to the contrary from Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), States must not transmit full benefit issuance files to EBT processors. Instead, States must continue to process and load the partial issuance files that reflect the 35 percent reduction of maximum allotments detailed in the November 5 guidance.
To the extent States sent full SNAP payment files for November 2025, this was unauthorized. Accordingly, States must immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025. Please advise the appropriate FNS Regional Office representative of steps taken to correct any actions taken that do not comply with this memorandum.
Per 7 CFR 271.7(h), failure to comply with this memorandum may result in USDA taking various actions, including cancellation of the Federal share of State administrative costs and holding States liable for any overissances that result from the noncompliance.

The only path forward is a deal that protects peoples' health insurance. Trump just needs to get involved in the art of this deal.

Empathy bone missing apparently

Donald Trump stands at his desk while someone to the side has a medical episode, not paying any attention

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govNov 6(source)

He’s not even good at lying because everyone knows we’ve been talking about health care for the entire month. He just knows if he let there be a vote on health insurance subsidies, it’d pass with bipartisan support.

Speaker Mike Johnson: Here’s the simple truth: The Democrat Shutdown is about NOTHING.

If you asked 100 different Democrats what their shutdown is about you would get 100 different answers.

Now Democrats have trapped themselves in the longest shutdown in U.S. history — and the American people are CONTINUING to pay the price.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govNov 6(source)

They have the time to tweet at me but no time for Trump to pick up a phone and negotiate huh?

This could all be avoided if unhinged lunatics like @amyklobuchar and @SenTinaSmith cared half as much about Americans than they do about illegals

For the love of god can we build housing instead?

Trump: "If you go a couple of years out, you're gonna see numbers like you've never seen. We're building some of the biggest building ever built anywhere in the world. The AI buildings."

But thank god we remodeled the Oval Office to look like a Saudi palace, right?

Clarifying question: Does needlessly keeping food from working families make us great? Or is it keeping it from seniors on fixed incomes?

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govNov 4(source)

This Administration is trying to give us a false choice - don’t buy it.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govNov 4(source)

It’s bullshit to say we can’t feed the hungry AND care for the sick. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. We can do both.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govNov 3(source)

Nothing like a Gatsby party for your uber rich friends at Mar-A-Lago while millions of your neighbors get priced out of health insurance. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, @warren.senate.gov and I just touched down in Florida because while Trump won’t fight for his neighbors, we will.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govOct 31(source)

Shouldn’t take a court order to tell you to feed the hungry.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govOct 30(source)

Dear Leader is refusing to help hungry families buy food... and somehow that’s OUR fault because we were greedy enough to want to help Americans afford health care.

Reuters: DEMOCRATIC-LED STATES FILE LAWSUIT TO BLOCK TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FROM SUSPENDING SNAP BENEFITS DURING GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govOct 28(source)

The only way out of this is to negotiate and we’ve been ready for a month. Stonewalling us just holds federal workers, our troops and hungry families hostage because Republicans don’t have a health care plan beyond “don’t be poor”

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govOct 28(source)

They say the definition of insanity is trying the same damn thing over and over and over again expecting a different result.

BREAKING: The Senate vote on a bill to reopen the government fails for the 13th time, with the shutdown now in its 4th week.

Reposted byTina Smith

Senator Peter Welch@welch.senate.govOct 28(source)

I’ve been in Congress for shutdowns before, but this one is different. I’ve never witnessed a shutdown where the President of either party has told congressional leaders to not negotiate at all. He's choosing to raise health care costs for millions of families.
