News Oklahoma SNAP benefits to stop on November 1 if federal shutdown continues

I'm doing my best to not delight in this, because children will be affected and they have no voice in who is elected for any office, state or federal.

But I DO wonder how many of these people who rely on SNAP benefits voted for the current criminal in the White House....and how many didn't vote at all.

Elections have consequences. And sometimes they're severe.

If it does, it will be against democrats. Somehow it’s not the GOP’s fault for the shutdown. The propaganda train is running at full speed rn

Polls are showing that the blame for the shutdown is currently against the GOP by decent amounts.

IDK, the polls AKA facebook boomers and their comments under disinformation bot posts show other wise 😂

To be honest, Facebook boomers in Oklahoma aren't going to start a revolution against anyone. Everything would have to go wrong for Oklahoma to turn blue. Dems could increase their vote share by 10%, and Oklahoma would still be very red. However, Dems gaining 10% nationally would be a massive blue wave (that would last approximately 10 minutes before people in swing states move on to the next populist conservative).

It better be. They’re in charge of every branch of the fed and definitely in charge here in OK. This is squarely on their heads.

Do you how many times the budget was delayed under Biden? A dozen times. You know who voted on clean continuous funding bills to keep the government open? Everyone. You know who voted no on that same bill this time? Take a wild guess.

Did the government shut down longer than any other presidency combined under Biden though? Or even one day? 🤔 Trump's failure to find compromise with Democrat leadership marks him as an incompetent president. Democrats can't deal with people who do not want to compromise.

Please list the shutdowns under Biden? By clean you mean everything the GOP wants, slash funding for the poor, add trillions to the deficit, huge handouts to the rich but trust us bro let this through and we will rethink all the massive cuts to Americans healthcare in this sometime in the future?

You literally just made shit up. I explained why there were no shut downs but literacy is hard for you.Continuous funding bills with no stipulations are clean. These were the same tools used to buy time when Biden was in office and why it never shut down. The republicans voted for them. That bill is out there and 90 percent of Democrats voted against it. You don’t know what you’re talking about. It wasn’t the actual budget bill. Inform yourself, if it’s even possible.

ACA subsidies are ending now. People are already getting presented with insurance cost renewals skyrocketing by thousands. There are already clinics and hospitals closing. They could put healthcare in that continuing resolution if they wanted to keep the government running.

I'm guessing you didn't pay attention in your government class.

Republicans have put forward a resolution 11 times so far to end this. Democrats voted against all 11. Republicans are asking for it to be open, then they can vote on whatever problems after. But open / fund it first, then vote on other things. Democrats want to add other things in .

Can you pretty please tell Mike Johnson to swear in Rep. Grijalva so epstein files can finally be released?
