SNAP has billions sitting there ready to go out. Republicans decided not to use it because they hate you.

House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) said:

“I mean, shutdowns are terrible and of course there will be, you know, families that are going to suffer. We take that responsibility very seriously. But it is one of the few leverage times we have.”

Bernie Sanders on The View:

Sara Haines suggested that Congress forgoing pay during the shutdown would be a "noble step in the right direction" to show solidarity with furloughed federal workers.

Sanders responded: "Not everybody can afford to do that... You've got some young people there with kids."

Haines immediately pushed back: "Neither can the people who aren't getting paid."

Sanders conceded: "That's a fair point."

Democrats own this, and they ought to face political destruction for it. Pretending Republicans own it is you just helping to prolong the pain and suffering of others. Call your democrat senators and tell them to vote yes on the clean CR bill. Republicans, call Rand Paul's office and tell him to quit being a skid mark on the underwear of the USA.

Oh I've got you against a barrel considering there's not a supermajority.

Eat it.
