Notice sent to NCDHHS about possible disruption to November SNAP benefits as shutdown continues
DHHS says it has been using available funds from last year to keep SNAP benefits in place through October.abc11.com
In a letter to state agencies dated Oct. 10, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said there will not be enough funding to pay the entirety of November SNAP benefits if the shutdown continues.
"If the current lapse in appropriations continues, there will be insufficient funds to pay full November SNAP benefits for approximately 42 million individuals across the Nation," reads the letter, which was signed by SNAP development director Sasha Gersten-Paal and provided to USA TODAY by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS).

Some states are warning that funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program may not be available if the government shutdown continues.www.usatoday.com
They are truly evil people who need to be taken down without mercy.
Better to be peaceful:
Nor should Democrats. They are being told they have to give up health insurance for 22 million Americans, and in return they will get one more month of government funding. Then the Republicans will make further insane demands to keep the government open for another month. At that rate by the time we have a new Congress, no one would have health coverage.
I would not support giving up health insurance for 22 million Americans for a year of budget, but certainly not for a month. Republicans have massively over demanded. There is no way Democrats can agree to such an insane demand.
trump used budget reconciliation to force it down everyone's throat, but did not have the guts to put the actual budget in it. So now the government is shutting down.
Why do you talk nonsense. Your doubletalk about the fine print is almost as bad as legalese. This is what matters. In looking it up, there are a few different numbers out there. One part says that insurers are proposing an 18% increase in premiums for 2026. Though in another part it says the expiration of whatever kinds of credits will lead to an out of pocket premium payment increase of over 75%. With some individuals facing premium increases of over 400%!

Democrats passed the ACA. If it's not affordable without massive subsidies, take it up with the Democrats.
Democrats passed both bills specifying the expiry date of ACA subsidies. If you don't like the fact that they are set to expire, take it up with the Democrats.

Sigh.
President Trump submitted the initial "skinny" version of his FY 2026 discretionary budget request to Congress on May 2, 2025, as confirmed by the Congressional Research Service. A more detailed full budget followed on May 30, 2025.
The OBBA ws not a budget proposal, and it passed Congress on July 4, 2025.
Prove what. The goals of project 2025? To what degree the president went along with what it proposed? The degree to which the president told republicans what should be included in their big ugly bill? To what degree some republicans themselves decided what should end up in that bill? You ask for proof of nonsense. But here are a couple things I can tell you for sure. The president appointed a whole shitload of unqualified assholes to be the heads of important government agencies. And when the president tells any republican to jump, they ask, "How High!"
Dont know, my crystal ball is at the repair shop, but the vibe I get on my grapevine is that it will go at least a month, and will be hugely damaging for the nation and the empire.
As the elites are already in a panic about the collapse of the Empire, and as the nation is at least as dysfunctional as it was just before the Civil War.

I don't understand. How were Democrats in Congress to "reconcile" something if they didn't even know what they were reconciling.
I don't have to take anything up with Democrats. They are making themselves clear enough. They are showing up to Congress to do their jobs. Which includes not seeing health care slashed in this country. The republicans refuse to show up.

True. But here's the REAL KICKER! Whatever happens to the government as far as how long it is shut down doesn't matter to the wealthy. They can afford to ride out any storm.
True....and there might be something to the claim that these same oligarchs are destroying the economies of the West on purpose so that they can impose digital currencies on us....digitally enslave us.

That's an article from February, and it's about EOs.
Nothing in that screed mentions the OBBA.
Show me the proof that "what is in the "big beautiful bill" is there by the president's commands.
Show me evidence that "It is all part of that Project 2025".
Prove your claim that "Nothing in that bill did republicans come up with on their own".
Hop to it!
What you say is true. But with that being the case, why in the hell are Trump and republicans so hell bent on giving tax breaks to the wealthy. Don't they already have enough?
