Local Republicans silent as Trump tries to hold back SNAP
Editor:
“The Trump administration on Monday again asked the Supreme Court to block lower court decisions, requiring it to pay full food assistance benefits to about 42 million Americans, who rely on the nation’s largest anti-hunger program.“ (Washington Post, 11 Nov 2025, page 1)
According to figures published in the Hub, about 5,000 people in Orleans County receive SNAP benefits. Perhaps the Republican leadership in the county could comment on why so many Republican voters are being deprived of SNAP benefits by a Republican President. And, just before the holidays.
