Thank you, Madam President.
I rise to encourage a yes vote on this resolution because this is a serious resolution.
And I want to read some language from the federal government website.
Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, SNAP.
OMB's General Counsel provided a letter to USDA on May 23rd, 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 the fiscal year.
This language goes on to say, to fulfill this congressional intent, it is necessary that a limited number of FNS employees be accepted from furlough to support program operations.
These activities include but are not limited to program policy and operations, financial management, and stakeholder communications.
It also says these multi-year contingency funds are also available to fund participant benefits in the event that the lapse occurs in the middle of the fiscal year.
Make no mistake.
There are years worth of funding available for the SNAP program.
Our tax dollars that we have already paid to the federal government to facilitate this program and the Trump administration deleted this language from the website this morning.
They are hiding the fact that not only is there more than enough funding to pay these benefits that we have already paid our tax dollars into, but that there was contingency language to ensure that even in the event of a government shutdown, that SNAP would go uninterrupted.
The Trump administration and the Republicans supporting him are using food as a political weapon.
This is a choice.
They chose to delete this language.
They are choosing to force children to go hungry.
We will not stand for that choice, and I encourage a yes vote.
About two months ago, I stopped eating dinner almost every night of the week so that my boyfriend and I could have enough food left over to have lunch the next day.
This was before we were about to lose our food stamps.
Mind you, we both work.
