The shutdown deal funds SNAP through Sept. 2026; that means we can't be blackmailed in January. [View all]

The deal funds the whole Department of Agriculture (not just the Department of Agriculture's SNAP program) through September of 2026. That is important because the shutdown deal only funds the rest of the government until January 30, 2026. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj41pgpk0wgo

So if and when we get in another shutdown fight over the budget in January, Trump can't starve America's poor to pressure Dems like he did this time.

This video talks about the deal's funding of SNAP until September.

But, no SNAP money is flowing yet because the shutdown deal still needs to be approved by the House and signed by Shitler.
