Disabled individuals can file for an exemption; they must prove that they cannot work even 80 hours a month. If their disability shows that they can indeed work, then they will lose some of their benefits. Affected? Yes. Losing ALL benefits? Not necessarily. Quote The law went into effect immediately, but the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service gave states until Nov. 1 to comply. The act, among other provisions, eliminated certain exceptions to the program’s work requirements for able-bodied adults without dependents between the ages of 55 and 65 and adults with dependents between the ages of 15 and 18. Homeless people, veterans and those ages 24 and younger who are no longer in foster care must also adhere to the work requirements, which stipulate that a person must prove they are working at least 80 hours per month, pursuing an education or in a training program to qualify for SNAP benefits. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5570223-snap-benefits-at-risk-government-shutdown/ Also, not all states are affected, some of them have their own programs. States need to quit relying on the Federal Govt to provide for them. States should be able to operate self sufficiently without Govt always stepping in. At least that's my opinion. Quote SNAP benefits, formerly known as food stamps, are funded by the Department of Agriculture (USDA). The federal government shares the cost of administering the program with states, while states operate their own programs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many social media posts have you seen where people (mostly women) are talking about how their $4k in benefits is being cut? They have fake nails, fake lashes, decent cars... Quote Some SNAP households will lose SNAP eligibility or have their benefits cut starting in late 2025 or in 2026 as a result of the Republican megabill that President Trump signed into law on July 4, 2025. In particular, some people will be cut from SNAP due to the law’s expansion of a rule limiting SNAP to three months in a three-year period for certain individuals who can’t document that they are exempt (for example, because of a disability) or are working or participating in a qualifying activity for 20 hours a week or more. In addition, certain immigrants who are living lawfully in the United States and have been granted humanitarian protection by the federal government will be cut from SNAP, and benefits will be reduced for some households without an elderly or disabled member who can’t provide documentation of their utility costs. Many current participants will face these cuts when their SNAP eligibility is next recertified. States recertify eligibility for most SNAP households every six or 12 months. If a state takes action earlier than the next recertification, the household should receive a notice and an opportunity to provide additional information before their benefits are terminated or reduced.[1] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As part of their efforts to cut costs, the government has also created additional barriers for those wishing to maintain their benefits. Many of these eligible folks will need to reapply, with more stringent measures, that in many cases they aren't aware of prior to applying. Bottom line: hungry people will be more hungry, in a faltering economy/job market.

HellToupee 2,174 Posted Tuesday at 11:03 PM From Pete Hegseth… Yesterday, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out three lethal kinetic strikes on four vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations (DTO) trafficking narcotics in the Eastern Pacific. The four vessels were known by our intelligence apparatus, transiting along known narco-trafficking routes, and carrying narcotics. Eight male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessels during the first strike. Four male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the second strike. Three male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the third strike. A total of 14 narco-terrorists were killed during the three strikes, with one survivor. All strikes were in international waters with no U.S. forces harmed. Regarding the survivor, USSOUTHCOM immediately initiated Search and Rescue (SAR) standard protocols; Mexican SAR authorities accepted the case and assumed responsibility for coordinating the rescue. The Department has spent over TWO DECADES defending other homelands. Now, we’re defending our own. These narco-terrorists have killed more Americans than Al-Qaeda, and they will be treated the same. We will track them, we will network them, and then, we will hunt and kill them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HellToupee 2,174 Posted Wednesday at 09:27 PM Donald tackling the homeless problem has come up with an idea that treats the people with dignity Quote ROOKE: Democrats Wasted Billions. Republican Led-State Project With Homeless Shows There’s A Way Mary RookeOctober 29, 2025 3:32 PM ET OPINION Photo by PATRICK T. FALLON/AFP via Getty Images Democrats are hysterical about Utah’s new strategy for tackling the growing homeless problem outside of Salt Lake City. However, the Republican-backed plan is the only solution that makes sense. It’s insane to think about the amount of money Democrats have allocated to homelessness in their cities. In just five years, between 2018 and 2023, California spent a total of $24 billion on homelessness programs. New York City (NYC) paid $3.96 billion in the fiscal year 2025. Portland, Oregon, spent $724 million on homeless services in fiscal year 2024. Washington State has $1.8 billion budget for homeless programs between 2025 and 2027, with $139 million allocated for Seattle alone. Despite all of this money, Democrats have not made a single dent in the homeless crisis in these areas; in fact, it’s only gotten worse. Still, they are attacking Republicans in Utah and President Donald Trump for bringing sanity back to the conversation with a completely different strategy to get this crisis under control. With personal stories and down-to-earth life lessons, this mother is taking on narratives of feminism and motherhood. Catch her in your inbox every Thursday. Utah’s ambitious plan includes constructing a large-scale homeless services campus on 16 acres of rural land northwest of Salt Lake City, framing it as an early embodiment of Trump’s aggressive national approach to homelessness. Trump’s July executive order, “Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets,” pressures states to criminalize street camping, expand involuntary civil commitments, and prioritize treatment and accountability over traditional Housing First models popular in Democrat-controlled states. (Sign up for Mary Rooke’s weekly newsletter here!) Critics like Jesse Rabinowitz of the National Homelessness Law Center claim Utah’s homeless services camps are akin to forced labor or internment camps, where people were required to work for housing. “It’s what they did in World War II in Japanese detention camps,” Rabinowitz told The New York Times. “This reads similar to rounding up Jews or other people the Nazis didn’t like.” Others, like Utah state Sen. Jen Plumb, claim that the camp’s promised services, like rehabilitation and mental health care, will never materialize. Plumb called the camp more of a “prison or a warehouse” than a medical facility, adding that the promised medical care is a “pie in the sky” dream. Unlike scattered encampments or unconditional “Housing First” models that have failed to stem rising homelessness across the country, Utah’s approach centralizes services in a structured environment, complete with behavioral health clinics to deal with the broad majority of the homeless who suffer from mental health issues. Randy Shumway, chairman of the group of political appointees and business figures advising on the Utah campus plan, estimates that about two-thirds of Utah’s homeless population will have to be involuntarily committed to the camp. The camp itself will cost about $75 million to build and about $30 million annually to run, which is a fraction of the cost most states spend on homelessness. Critics’ detention camp fears overlook safeguards like court oversight for commitments, ensuring it’s not indefinite warehousing but targeted aid. Shumway told the NYT that the hope is that their plan will create a “pathway to human thriving.” “Allowing people to remain on the streets originates from the purest of intentions and may be the most inhumane thing we could possibly do,” he said. Shumway is correct, although I would argue that allowing someone to slowly kill themselves through drug addiction and violence can never be considered a pure intention. It never made any sense to believe that the most compassionate option was to let mentally ill people lie on public sidewalks in pain and untreated, often being sexually assaulted or physically abused if not murdered. Additionally, while everyone was worried about being empathetic to the mentally ill, no one was willing to address the issue of violence inflicted on innocent citizens by the homeless population. Republicans’ plan has a better chance of working because it rejects failed permissiveness for accountable compassion by integrating treatment, enforcement, and efficiency to resolve homelessness at its core, rather than permitting the most vulnerable among us to commit societal destruction. (ROOKE: Democrats Can’t Stop Admitting Their Foot Soldiers Are Out Of Control) We never had to live like this, but for decades, it seems our elected officials lived in a fever dream, willing to throw good money after bad ideas. The hope is that Utah will be the national blueprint. No longer will American children have to step over dead bodies and dirty needles on urine and feces-soaked streets to get to school or enjoy the local park.
