It’s a sloppy and weak excuse, because they misplayed the shut down so badly that the Democrats win no matter what happens

The problem is they were trying to use this as a threat, but it was incredibly obvious to everyone that Trump and Co were directly going to fuck over 40 million people

Now it’s a weak point. Democrats don’t have to even agree to further fund SNAP during the shutdown… This is Trump’s famine no matter how it plays out
