USDA tells grocery stores: No special discounts for SNAP recipients

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) emailed grocery stores prohibiting them from offering discounts to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients amid the government shutdown.

The email, shared Sunday by MSNBC’s Catherine Rampell to social platform X, said that grocery stores “must offer eligible goods at the same prices and on the same terms and conditions” to SNAP recipients.

They are fighting tooth and nail to keep these people hungry. Why would anyone have a problem with SNAP recipients receiving a discount if they are not receiving their full benefits. This administration is just cruel for the sake of being cruel. I guess they will blame that on democrats as well. - Jessica

Of Course Mike Johnson Wants The Shutdown
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Tuesday he is not in favor of a stopgap measure that would only fund the government until December, preferring a January time frame.

The fact that everyone thinks SNAP is rife with fraud by Black people is thanks to a lie started by Ronald Reagan when he first ran in 1976 and talked about "strapping young bucks buying T-bone steaks with food stamps." It was a racist lie then. It's a racist lie now. - Tim Wise
