""SNAP BENEFITS...will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up the government, which they can easily do, and not before!""

During a government shutdown, a federal judge ordered Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits paid in full by Friday and sharply rebuked the Trump administration for refusing to comply.
