There is SNAP funding.

Even the Republicans ensured that there was 5 Billion Dollars prepared to ensure that SNAP funding could not easily run out.

It is being Withheld by Trump

But the two-page document states that “contingency funds are not legally available to cover regular benefits.”

So what's the point of a "Contingency Fund" if it can't be tapped to cover contingencies?

It just reads like an excuse.

Trump isn't supposed to be able to deploy the national guard the way he did, he wasn't allowed to move funds for the wall, he shouldn't be able to decimate the Dept of Education, they shouldn't be able to deport people without a trial.

The Trump admin can almost do anything it wants, so they could use the funds, they've chosen not to.
