At any point, Senator Schiff can join Republicans in voting to open the government and fully fund SNAP.

Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff
California sued to ensure millions of families don't go hungry this week because of Donald Trump.
The court sided with us.
Now the administration must stop dragging its feet, follow the court order, and fully fund SNAP benefits before families go hungry.

Senate Republicans @SenateGOP - 42 million Americans on SNAP do not have the luxury of waiting while Senator Schumer uses them for leverage.

Senate Republicans @SenateGOP - Large airports around the country will continue to see major delays and ground stops due to staffing shortages because Senate Democrats closed the government.

Senate Republicans @SenateGOP - President Trump is doing everything possible to pay for SNAP benefits that Democrats refuse to fund.
But, even with the contingency funds, there isn’t enough money to fully fund SNAP.
Democrats need to end this shutdown and stop inflicting needless pain on Americans.

Trump following the law and using this emergency funding to partially fund SNAP is the floor– not the ceiling.
Trump has shown he has money for all sorts of things – but food for 42 million hungry Americans should be the top of that list. He must do more to help hungry families.
