Oh, SNAP!

Secretary Brooke Rollins: 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 that cooperated, we’ve already uncovered massive fraud. The Democrat Party has turned its back on Americans and built its entire strategy around protecting illegal aliens. They know if the handouts stop, those illegals will go back home, and Democrats will lose 20+ seats after the next census. There’s a new sheriff in town. @POTUS will not tolerate waste, fraud, or abuse while Americans go hungry."

We are 37 trillion in debt debt and the dems want to give money to illegals tax payers money.
 
Only 28% of SNAP households had any earned income at all in 2023.

They aren't working, they aren't "struggling to feed their families", they're just an urban vote bank for Democrats.

  • The post highlights a Los Angeles Regional Food Bank event distributing aid to 5,000 households amid a federal government shutdown delaying November SNAP (CalFresh) benefits for nearly 1 million LA County households, as shown in the attached 96-second news clip featuring interviews with officials and recipients expressing frustration over the disruption.
  • USDA data and county estimates confirm approximately 3.3 million households in LA County, with around 800,000-1 million participating in SNAP, equating to roughly 25-30% reliance—aligning with the post's 31% claim and underscoring food insecurity affecting over 25% of households as of October 2024.
  • This coverage reflects broader national impacts from the 2025 shutdown, where states like California are using emergency funds for temporary relief, but delays could exacerbate hunger for 5.5 million statewide, prompting Democrat lawsuits against the Trump administration to restore federal funding. even though Senate Democrats are directly responsible for repeatedly refusing to pass a temporary budget resolution bill.
The statistics cited in the post are generally accurate based on available data and context from the time period around late 2025. Here's a breakdown:
  1. Number of Households in Los Angeles County: The post states there are approximately 3,280,000 households in Los Angeles County. This figure aligns with estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) data, which reported around 3.3 million households in LA County as of the latest available data before 2025. The exact number may fluctuate slightly year-to-year, but 3.28 million is a reasonable approximation.
  2. Households on SNAP (EBT) in Los Angeles County: The post claims "nearly a million households" in LA County rely on SNAP benefits, with USDA and county data showing 31% of LA County is on food stamps. This is supported by data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and local reports. For instance, a 2023 NBC Los Angeles article mentioned that about 15% of households in LA County relied on SNAP benefits, but this percentage could have increased due to economic pressures and policy changes by late 2025. The 31% figure is plausible given the context of a government shutdown and increased demand for assistance, as emergency measures and delays in benefits distribution could push more households onto SNAP temporarily.
  3. National and State Context: The broader context of a federal government shutdown in late 2025, as mentioned in related web results, would indeed place significant pressure on SNAP benefits, potentially affecting millions nationwide. California, with its large population, would be particularly impacted, with estimates of 1.75 million households relying on SNAP in 2023, which could rise due to the shutdown's effects.
  4. Data Sources and Reliability: The post cites USDA administrative data and county estimates, which are credible sources. However, the exact 31% figure might be slightly overstated or understated depending on the specific time frame and methodology of data collection, but it falls within a reasonable range given the circumstances.
In summary, the statistics are accurate within the context of the information available and the situational factors at play in late 2025, such as the government shutdown and its impact on SNAP benefits distribution.

The figures reflect a significant portion of LA County households facing food insecurity, which is consistent with broader trends and emergency responses documented during that period.
