Senator Warren posted this on her social media channels. How convenient of the administration.
The screenshot I provided is a post from X that says:
Donald Trump deleted this from the government website.
Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.
She includes a screenshot with text from a gov website that includes:
OMB’s General Counsel provided a letter to USDA on May 23, 2025 stating that there is a bona fide need to obligate benefits for October—the first month of the fiscal year—during or prior to the month of September, thereby guaranteeing that benefit funds are available for program operations even in the event of a government shutdown at the beginning of a fiscal year. In addition, Congressional intent is evident that SNAP’s operations should continue since the program has been provided with multi-year contingency funds that can be used for State Administrative Expenses to ensure that the State can also continue operations during a Federal Government shutdown. These multi-year contingency funds are also available to fund participant benefits in the event that a lapse occurs in the middle of the fiscal year. These activities include, but are not limited to, program policy and operations, financial management, and stakeholder communications.
Yes, I’m aware of Senator Warren’s own issues, but this is important to note.
Edited to include the words for those with readers.
