 Bessent signals SNAP benefits could restart Wednesday
by Tara Suter - 11/02/25 1:44 PM ET

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday signaled that Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits could restart as soon as this week.

“There’s a process that has to be followed, so we’ve got to figure out what the process is,” Bessent told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.” “President Trump wants to make sure that people get their food benefits.”

“So, it could be done by Wednesday?” Tapper asked.

“Could be,” Bessent replied.

On Friday, President Trump signaled he would fund SNAP if pointed in “the appropriate legal direction” after a federal judge directed officials to use an emergency fund for the program. The administration was previously adamant that it would not utilize these funds amid the over four weeks-long government shutdown.

“Our Government lawyers do not think we have the legal authority to pay SNAP with certain monies we have available, and now two Courts have issued conflicting opinions on what we can and cannot do,” Trump posted on Truth Social Friday evening.

“I do NOT want Americans to go hungry just because the Radical Democrats refuse to do the right thing and REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT,” he continued.

All the illegals who are currently on the SNAP rolls will be relieved.

Hey, here's a novel idea.  Why not use this opportunity to root out all the corruption going on so that it only goes to help feed undernourished Americans who aren't obese.

Meanwhile, in other news pertaining to the shutdown: Democrats are plotting to reopen the government AFTER this Tuesday's election because they wanted to juice Democrat voter turnout.

Of course -- the DEM voting base only equates the shutdown with Trump and the GOP.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Well, first pass, have the Republicans hold back until the Dems have voted, and vote against it, just to expose the Dem gambit.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin has just learned Democrats are plotting to reopen the government likely WEDNESDAY or THURSDAY, after communist Zohran Mamdani wins

"They're telling us they plan to open it up probably Wednesday or Thursday, after the election. After they elect a communist in New York to be the mayor."
