Trump To Democrats: SNAP Returns Only After Gov't Reopens; USDA Warns Grocers On Illegal Food Stamp Discounts
The Trump administration said Monday it plans to partially fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) after judges ruled in November that contingency funds must be used to pay for the benefits.
One major issue with SNAP has been the widespread fraud that erupted under the Biden-Harris regime. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins revealed Sunday that the USDA has purged 700,000 fraudulent recipients so far this year.
On my first day @USDA, we told every state to send us their SNAP data so we could make sure illegal immigrants aren't getting benefits meant for American families. 29 states stepped up. 21 blue states refused — and two SUED US FOR ASKING! ??♀️
And guess what? In just the states… pic.twitter.com/W7ha0Le1eN

High Food Prices Are Taking A Big Bite Out Of Restaurant Chains In 2025
Rising food chain prices tend to dominate the news cycle these days as an indicator of overall inflation in the US, but less attention is paid to the damage these prices do to the businesses involved. Revenues losses and location closures for these chains are ugly, to say the least, but what kind of bloodletting are we talking about here?
It should be noted that chain restaurants are a mainstay of the American diet. Around 35% of Americans eat out at chains at least twice a week, but inflation in menu prices is around double that of grocery food items and staying at home has become a necessity for many US families on a budget.
From 2019 to 2025, menu prices have increased by 30% to 80% depending on the company and the items. McDonalds, for example, has seen prices spike by 40% on average since 2019, while sit down restaurants like Waffle House and IHOP are struggling with price jumps as high as 80% in the same ti...

Trump Admin Will Partially Fund November Food Stamps: Filing
Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will fund food stamps for November at reduced levels, Trump administration officials said on Nov. 3.

The USDA will spend billions of dollars in contingency funds, but will not use any additional money, administration lawyers said in a court filing.
That means many SNAP recipients will only receive half as much in benefits as they usually do, the lawyers said.
The government met its deadline of 12 p.m. on Monday to give an update on funding the federal food stamp program, known as SNAP, for November.
U.S. District Judge Jack McConnell previously ruled that the USDA had to at least partially fund the November benefits by using contingency money allocated in federal law “as may become necessary to carry out...

700,000 Ineligible SNAP Recipients Purged After USDA Uncovers Widespread Food Stamp Fraud
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins joined Fox News on Sunday and addressed the American people about the USDA's massive effort to combat fraud in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
Rollins said that the Trump administration sent letters to all governors prohibiting illegal aliens from accessing benefits, with a historic request for state data to be audited alongside the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). She said only 29 states cooperated, primarily red and some blue states.
She said her team and DOGE found some of the most shocking fraud ever, resulting in the purging of 700,000 ineligible recipients since the president's inauguration, and arrested 118 individuals.
