The U.S. Department of Agriculture has posted a notice on its website saying federal food aid will not go out Nov. 1, raising the stakes for families nationwide as the government shutdown drags on.
The new notice comes after the Trump administration said it would not tap roughly $5 billion in contingency funds to keep benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly referred to as SNAP, flowing into November. That program helps about 1 in 8 Americans buy groceries.
“Bottom line, the well has run dry,” the USDA notice says. “At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01. We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats.” – – via abcnews.go.com
Of course the ‘well’ has run dry. The Agent of Chaos’ Administration has much more important things to spend money on, like $20 billion in aid to Argentina farmers. Ensuring food for the poor, the children and seniors in your own country?….that’s soooo past administrations.
Why would USA help bail out Argentina while they take American soybean producers’ biggest market??? We shld use leverage at every turn to help hurting farm economy Family farmers shld be top of mind in negotiations by representatives of USA

Obviously, Senator Grassley isn’t aware that he’s asking this of dogshit human beings.
On October 19, a reporter asked Trump why he decided to aid Argentina despite concerns among US soya producers.
“Argentina is fighting for its life,” Trump answered. “Young lady, you don’t know anything about it. … They have no money. They have no anything.” (source)
Typical Trump. Don’t answer the question – just bullshit your way through. America first!
Maybe he considers the poor too good-looking to be helped.
Trump to troops in Japan: “I don’t like good looking people. I never liked good looking people. I’ll be honest with you. I’ve never admitted that before. But see I’m allowed to — we won at the Supreme Court a thing based on merit. You know about that, right?” pic.twitter.com/GSFjFiAQPe

But the Peace president has done so much. Things are really going well. Winning! Yea!
Netanyahu Orders ‘Immediate and Powerful’ Attacks on Gaza – antiwar.com
While there has been a de-escalation in Gaza, Israeli forces have continued launching attacks since the ceasefire deal was signed on October 10, killing more than 100 Palestinians in that time. Israel has also not allowed the agreed-upon number of aid trucks to enter Gaza. –
Comments from President Trump have also made clear that Israeli officials are eager to restart the full-scale genocidal campaign, and would do so if he gave the word. Despite Netanyahu’s announcement, a US official told Al Jazeera that the ceasefire is “still holding” and that the US intends to “continue to work to implement President Trump’s peace plan.”
Vice President JD Vance later insisted that the ceasefire was holding despite the renewed Israeli airstrikes. “The ceasefire is holding. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t going to be little skirmishes,” he told Fox News. “We know that Hamas or somebody else within Gaza attacked an IDF soldier. We expect the Israelis are going to respond — but I think the President’s peace is going to hold.”
Another colossal dogshit human being on display. Hey, Vance…the ceasefire, the peace hasn’t been holding, no matter what you clowns say.
