Whitehouse: There Were More than Eight Dems Who Wanted to End Shutdown

On Tuesday's broadcast of MSNBC's "The Last Word," Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) said that there were more than eight Democrats in the Senate who wanted | Clips

"But Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) has said publicly that there were another five or six that were waiting in the wings and that were encouraging them, and if one of them had not voted, somebody else might have stepped in to make that eighth vote. So, our caucus had a bigger problem than just eight.”

0.001% of SNAP recipients are dead. That isn't fraud, its bad accounting. Looking forward to the big announcements next week though. I bet its better than Tylenol causing Magaism.

700,000 Ineligible SNAP Recipients Purged After USDA Uncovers Widespread Food Stamp Fraud | ZeroHedge

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins joined Fox News on Sunday and addressed the American people about the USDA's massive effort to combat fraud in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Rollins said that the Trump administration sent letters to all governors prohibiting illegal aliens from accessing benefits, with a historic request for state data to be audited alongside the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). She said only 29 states cooperated, primarily red and some blue states.

She said her team and DOGE found some of the most shocking fraud ever, resulting in the purging of 700,000 ineligible recipients since the president's inauguration, and arrested 118 individuals.

Some of the key findings she unveiled in the interview:

- SNAP spending surged nearly 40% under Biden, linked to $100 billion in expenditures.

- Thousands of ineligible illegals used EBT cards; one individual claimed benefits in six states.

- About 5,000 deceased recipients were still receiving aid.

Political activist Mike Netter noted on X, "These states are stonewalling because they know the fraud is massive. When you hide the books, it's never to protect the honest folks—it's to cover up the rot. Meanwhile, the states that did cooperate are already exposing exactly the kind of abuse the left swears doesn't exist."

Rollins called for major reforms to ensure food stamps reach truly vulnerable Americans, not illegal aliens who abuse the system and act as a net drain on public resources.

Also on Sunday, Benny Johnson told Newsmax's Rob Finnerty in a video posted on X (see here) that if tens of millions of Americans were willing to stand in line for an experimental Covid vaccine, they can just as well stand in line for to reapply for food stamps.

"My thought is shut it all down. Force everyone to reapply with American citizenship. Crack down on what is available on these programs - take the junk food off - and you'll see the number of people applying for these programs collapse. Force them to cook their own food," Johnson told Finnerty.

Finnerty responded, "They forced people like sheep to get in line to take vaccines - and within two months - something like 67% of the country was vaccinated - hundreds of millions of people in a short amount of time. You have to do the same thing here," adding, "You're talking about 42 million people and you can federalize it - don't leave it up to the states."

...

What's clear is that fraud within the food stamp program remains widespread, with evidence indicating that illegals are exploiting the system. This fraud situation is rampant.

It's called math. Something MAGA and liberals struggle with. 0.01% isn't widespread. Then your proof turns into an anti vaxxer rant. Get better material. Actually try and use reasoning and think for yourself.

Yall keep saying able bodied. It's for low-income income folks..and mostly white MAGA.

.....and the fraud is costing taxpayers a billion dollars. The idea of food stamps was started by JFK carried out by LBJ to entrap as many minorities on welfare in order to buy their votes...and it worked as seen in +97% of blacks vote for Dems. This is why upwards to about 26% of the black population received snap and about 7% of white population receive snap.

Google AI:
"Of the 100 congressional districts with the highest percentage of SNAP households in 2023, the most recent year with available data, 73 were represented by Democrats and 27 by Republicans."

Yet more white people receive SNAP.

Seems your concern about SNAP is based on your desire not to be viewed as a racist. It's ok to be racist. How people view you won't stop the Dims from trouncing the GOP over the next 4 years. I'd suggest buying all the guns and suppressors you can right now before Newsom takes over.

Look at the percents. Whilte population is much bigger than black population but just 7% of the much bigger population get snap compared to 27% of much the smallerblack population.,....LBJ's plan worked didn't it?

And a billion dollars in fraud is a lot. You injected race and politics into this. I do not care about the race and politics, snap needs to be stopped....socialism is bankrupting the country.

Yeah percents. 7% of white people is more than 26% of black people. Ffs. Did I complain about lbj and jfk luring in blacks with welfare? No. You did. Try and keep up with your posting Boomer McBoomerstein.

You're acting like snap took your birthday. I bet you get a lot of Government assistance but you don't like it when others who don't think or look like you do too. But yeah, F snap. F them non aborted kids. Let em go hongry. Very Christlike of you.

The percent is what matters. A much larger percent (26) of the black population get snap than the white (7). If 26% of whites got food stamps then you might have a valid argument.

I do not get gov't assistance.

Christ never advocated the idea of taking by force the fruit of one person's labor to give to another. What Christ did advocate is that if you see one in need you can reach into YOUR OWN POCKET and help and not reach into another person's pocket forcibly taking their money then claim you did good in feeding someone when all you did was commit a mugging. The left loves to be generous........WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY. The left loves to buy votes in doing this and it's the very reason why they do it....not out of generosity but to buy votes/power. The left cares about no one but themselves, power and money.,,unChrist-like

Lol. No. What's more. 7% of 204,000,000? Or 26% of 41,000,000? % doesn't matter unless you are making it about race.

100% chance you get some form of Government assistance. You aint living in the wild frontier of the 1700's.

Noem Hands Out $10,000 Checks To TSA Agents Who Worked Through Shutdown​

TSA agents were among the over one million government workers who went weeks without pay during the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.


Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Thursday that thousands of TSA agents would receive a $10,000 bonus check for showing “exemplary service” and “stepping up” during the government shutdown.

Noem made the announcement at a press conference, standing alongside a group of TSA agents who were among the more than one million government workers who went weeks without pay during the longest government shutdown in American history. Government workers who went without paychecks during the 44-day government shutdown are also getting back pay.
