Why are they getting away with an illegal act? This is a Fed Government program using Fed gov money....it has a right to know where it is going.

If you would take that pointy hood off, you might be able to see clearer ... which would greatly enable you to READ CAREFULLY AND COMPREHENSIVELY.

Also, you could sharpen your ability to keep abreast of current information, as this topic is just under a month old. Observe:

At least 27 states turned over sensitive data about food stamp recipients to USDA​

.... Democratic state officials have argued the data demand is unlawful and likely part of a pattern of the Trump administration aggregating Americans' personal data for purposes that include immigration enforcement.

Those states won a victory in court on Wednesday when U.S. District Judge Maxine M. Chesney in San Francisco issued a preliminary order blocking the Trump administration from punishing them for refusing to turn over SNAP data.

The ruling means as the case continues, the Trump administration cannot legally follow through with threats to withhold SNAP administrative funds that add up to billions of dollars annually from 21 states and the District of Columbia that are parties to the lawsuit and have not shared the data.
Chesney wrote in her 25-page order the states are likely to succeed in their claim that "USDA, in demanding such data, acted in a manner contrary to law," and "states are likely to show the SNAP Act prohibits them from disclosing to USDA the information demanded."

Given that the apartheid punk Musk has only God knows how much private information on American citizens with Dump's approval, states are have good reason to resist such moves. Also, it's kind of interesting that the very same administration that had no problem in imposing all types of food emergencies on SNAP recipients to get it's way to put the screws to the ACA is suddenly apoplectic that they can't get intricate access to their information.

Only die hard maga mooks and alr-right reich rats have no problem with this ... the very people who at one time screamed bloody murder about the "shadow gov't" and "nanny state" having too much control on private citizens and their personal business. A conundrum, n'cest pas?

Interestingly, California, New York, Illinois, Maryland, and New Mexico are some of the worst offenders for massive SNAP fraud. New York far and away is the top offender with over $80 million in fraud annually.

[Jake Starkey]

Good on these states.

Good on these states.

Defying the federal government like this is how we ended up in a civil war and the states defying the government got the snot stomped out of them...

 

[Jake Starkey]

Then don't hurt the states.

Yes, fraud is bad and should be prevented and prosecuted. Like here: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program fraud in Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri amounted to almost $5 million in the first three months of 2024. www.newsweek.com/snap-fraud-illinois-kentucky-missouri-tennessee-1944893

AND JUST TO KEEP THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE

41.7 million people receive SNAP. 250K fraud cases reported in 2024. SNAP budget in 2024 was $100 Billion. SNAP fraud cost estimated at $12 billion.

Pentagon budget for 2024 was $824.3 billion. Confirmed fraud is $10.8 billion. According to the GAO the Pentagon has FAILED 7 audits in recent years. Yet military aid to Israel in 2024 was totaled around $34 billion.

Whataboutism.

New York exceeded $80 million in SNAP fraud last year.

 

[Taichiliberal]

1. No asshole, it's called FACTS that counteract your ASSERTION that ONLY blue states are at fault.

2. Beg to differ as you recall one of your links refers to a case involving CORRUPT FEDERAL AGENTS, not random small bodegas and low level criminal individuals. Then there's this But New York, where more than 2.9 million New Yorkers each month receive SNAP benefits, is the state hit hardest by this crime. Over 118,000 stolen benefits claims have submitted claims during fiscal year 2023 and 2024 — more than 20% of the total claims nationwide. Nearly 85,000 New Yorkers have recovered approximately $40 million in stolen benefits, according to data tracked by USDA.

As I said before, fraud is bad and should be prevented and prosecuted.

The top 2% and corporations are fucking you so hard in the ass that you’re bleeding from your eyes.
The 8-10 wealthiest people in the world have more wealth than 3-4 billion.

And you worry about SNAP.

PRICELESS!

The answer is to administer the program better. A fraud rate based on the number in the last paragraph is 0.01309% in the last Biden year, which is too much, obviously. Does anyone have numbers for 2025.

How would we know since the red states won't submit their records?

Corrupt workers are a thing. You are using them as a red herring, excusing all other reasons in favor of one that shifts blame from red states to the federal government. It is red states that clearly are the problem.

Meaningless blather with no supporting evidence. Question: Right now, without looking it up, what are the top most profitable corporations in the US? I want your opinion on that, without looking anything up.
