Agriculture Secretary - ‘Next Step’ Is to Make ‘Everyone Reapply’ for SNAP to Ensure Integrity

Text Drivers are Killers

Joe Biden - "Time to put Trump in the bullseye."
SNAP should only apply to rice, ww flour, rolled oats, bananas, and canned veggies. Cheap healthy food. $100 per month per adult. $50 for kids under 12.
nov 14 2025 On Thursday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins discussed data on food stamps and said that data from blue states is “going to give us a platform and a trajectory to fundamentally rebuild this program, have everyone reapply for their benefit, make sure that everyone that’s taking a taxpayer-funded benefit through SNAP or food stamps, that they literally are vulnerable and they can’t survive without it.”

Rollins stated, “29 states, mostly the red states, responded with their data sets, February, March, April. … But here’s the most unbelievable news I have really, just over the last few days: That 5,000 dead people, that was just one month, the number is closer to 186,000 deceased men and women and children in this country are receiving a check. Now, that is what we’re really going to start clamping down on. Half a million are getting two. But here’s the really stunning thing: This is just data from those 29 mostly red states. Can you imagine when we get our hands on the blue state data, what we’re going to find?”
 
Hmm, ass-backwards bureaucracy to address the willfully ignorant prejudices of the maga mooks and alt-right reich mooks.

First off, Rollins is a die-in-the-wool hard right, legal pedigreed Texan republican and Trump appointee. Her current position has already displayed her willingness to twist facts to fit the MAGA propaganda. Note:

Undocumented immigrants remain ineligible for federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits in 2025, but specific immigrant categories and documented noncitizens retain eligibility, and states can offer separate, state‑funded assistance. Recent legislative proposals and administrative guidance have narrowed or clarified eligibility for some documented immigrant groups, producing local impacts and policy debates.
  • Claim: Democrats are "putting free health care for illegal aliens... ahead of food security for American families".
    • Fact Check: PolitiFact rated this claim as inaccurate. The 2025 government shutdown stemmed from a disagreement over extending Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies as part of continued federal funding. The statement falsely framed the debate as "free health care for illegal aliens" and incorrectly assigned blame for the SNAP funding lapse, which was a result of the overall funding disagreement, not a specific Democratic agenda item to prioritize non-citizens over SNAP recipients.
And remember the BS the Trump administration tried to sell when they were using kids getting food as leverage along with the gov't shutdown?

  • Claim: The USDA cannot use an existing contingency fund to continue SNAP benefits during the government shutdown.
    • Fact Check: This claim was disputed by various sources, including legal experts and advocacy groups. While Secretary Rollins stated there weren't "just pots of $9.2 billion sitting around" and claimed a lack of legal authority to transfer funds, past administrations had used such funds during previous shutdowns. States' attorneys general even filed lawsuits to access the contingency fund, arguing it was available for regular SNAP benefits.
 
Snappers should not be allowed to vote. When there is an election, anyone who has been on snap or ebt or medicaid at any time in the prior 12 months should be denied the vote. There is no "right to vote". Many states ban felons from voting no matter how small the felony.
 
Ok, the intro means maga knows it cannot end SNAP and are willing to deal.
Why would "MAGA" want to end SNAP?

Grocers everywhere love to donate money to republicans because republicans love the "farmers" bills that just hand them money. Less than 10% of the Farm Bills go to actual farmers, it almost all goes to big corporations selling you the food.

That is exactly what needs to happen :thumbsupgirl:

So if your 9 to 5 doesn't pay enough to cover rent and food, and you have no ACA for medical costs, like say the Walmart employee situation in recent years, and you have to supplement with SNAP, you right to vote should be rescinded?

How "elitist" of you. So here's the question: why are you here instead of Orban's Hungary? Or North Korea?
 
That is exactly what needs to happen :thumbsupgirl:
Ahh, the elitism of the authoritarian minded eases out like flatulence when our resident MAGA dullards feel comfortable. I wonder how these dopes will feel when they turn 65 in their for profit private Social Security and medical insurance folds in favor of the high end Wall St. investors?
 
Everybody does what? What have they always done? Be specific.
He's talking about eliminating waste and fraud. Thing is, the corporate elite and inherited wealthy are okay with military/industrial, big pharma fraud, but shit their pants that somewhere a joker has scammed the system for a few grand. And then they take a scorched earth approach to all social services, while the Pentagon fails audits for 7 years, and billions are dumped into Israel, whose citizens enjoy social services and entitlements that the average working stiff in America can only dream of.
 
Indeed, 42 million using SNAP is an absurdity.
Yeah the number of SNAP recipients skyrocketed during the 4 years of the Biden administration. Judging by the numbers of people on social media bragging about scamming SNAP it looks like SNAP fraud may have skyrocketed. It is time to make everyone reapply so we can cut out the scammers.
