As Democrats drag the government shutdown on, they’re suddenly caterwauling about one thing they knew for sure their recalcitrance would cause: 40 million Americans on SNAP — food stamps — facing a benefits cliff.

They’ve even repurposed the “starving babies” meme, from Gaza to this standoff. “Donald Trump . . . thinks starving people help him politically!” shrieks Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Bx./Queens).
Ex-Veep Kamala Harris fumes, “Babies are going to starve when the SNAP benefits end in just hours from now.”
Spare us the crocodile tears, please.
One more time: House Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, passed a “clean” continuing resolution a month ago — funding SNAP and core services at current levels, no strings attached; it would’ve kept every EBT card loaded through Christmas.
