Senate Republicans @SenateGOP - False. 
President Trump cannot legally use contingency funds for regular SNAP benefits.
Senate Democrats like Senator Shaheen made a choice to vote against funding SNAP 13 times.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen
The Trump Administration is weaponizing hunger as a political bargaining chip. When it comes down to it, this is a choice and they're choosing to not feed kids, seniors, veterans and working families instead of doing everything possible to get food assistance to those in need.

Senate Republicans @SenateGOP - Five Democrats with a backbone can reopen the government and ensure that millions of Americans don’t go hungry.

Senate Republicans @SenateGOP - Not true. 
The Trump administration warned Senator Warnock nearly a month ago that they cannot use SNAP contingency funds for regular benefits. 
But he still voted no on our bill to open the government and fund SNAP 13 TIMES.

Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @SenatorWarnock
This administration has decided to starve people for political leverage in their fight to cut Obamacare.

Senate Republicans @SenateGOP - Senator Lankford is right. 
The loss of food assistance through SNAP will hit lower income families especially hard.
We encourage five holdout Democrats to put the good of the country before their politics and vote to open the government.

Sen. James Lankford @SenatorLankford
We’re now on Day 29 of the Schumer Shutdown. It’s hurting Oklahomans and families across the country. Democrats need to stop the political games and reopen the government.

Senate Republicans @SenateGOP - Senator Padilla knows that the President cannot legally fund SNAP without Congress appropriating the funds.
But he still voted against funding the government 13 times. 
Democrats are literally manufacturing crises so they can attack the president—all at the expense of struggling Americans.
Quote
Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla
Today, California joined 24 other states in suing Trump for intentionally letting millions across the country go hungry by allowing SNAP benefits expire. 
This isn't about proving a political point, it's about making sure Americans have what they need to survive.

Senate Republicans @SenateGOP - Senator Welch can’t explain why he’s holding Americans hostage.
CNBC: “This is the right way to do it, Senator? By people not getting paychecks…this is extortion.”
https://x.com/SenateGOP/status/1983551390006784442

Senate Republicans @SenateGOP - The American people are not a bargaining chip, they are not “leverage.”
It only takes a handful of Senate Democrats to do what’s right and open the government.
