Senate Republicans @SenateGOP - This an absurd statement.
Democrats could have kept SNAP and WIC funded at any point over the last month, but they voted no—13 times.
Senator Schumer is trying to keep the government closed indefinitely while also giving himself cover. No one believes him.

Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer
We just tried to pass @SenatorLujan’s bill to keep both SNAP and WIC funded.
But Senator Thune OBJECTED.
The Republicans are weaponizing hunger, plain and simple.

Senate Republicans @SenateGOP - Video: Yet another Democrat has called for Chuck Schumer to open the government.
Will Senator Schumer be reasonable?
Or, will he keep voting against paychecks for our troops and SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans?

Senator Cynthia Lummis @SenLummis - The reality is stark: contingency funds cannot legally cover SNAP benefits & transferring money from other programs would strip away funding for school meals and WIC.
