Democratic states unite to hit Trump with a MASSIVE lawsuit to stop him from cutting off food to millions of Americans — “We won’t let him starve our people.”
While Donald Trump’s USDA plays politics with people’s plates, Democratic governors and attorneys general are stepping up to fight back — and feed America.
More than two dozen Democratic attorneys general and Democratic governors from three states just filed a major lawsuit against the Trump administration for its cruel and unlawful decision to suspend food benefits during the government shutdown.
Their message is clear: Americans will not go hungry because of Donald Trump’s political games.
At the center of the battle is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) — the program that feeds 1 in 8 Americans, providing an average of $187 a month to struggling families, seniors, and veterans.
When Trump’s government shutdown cut off new funding on October 1, the USDA had a choice: use the nearly $6 billion in contingency funds Congress set aside exactly for emergencies like this — or let millions go hungry.
Trump’s USDA chose cruelty. Then, unbelievably, they slapped a banner on their website declaring “the well has run dry” and tried to blame Democrats for the disaster.
But Democratic state leaders aren’t buying it — and they’re taking the fight to court.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Massachusetts, argues that the Trump administration’s refusal to use available contingency funds is not just immoral — it’s illegal.
“Congress made sure SNAP could continue during a shutdown,” one Democratic attorney general said. “The money exists. The only reason it’s not being used is because the Trump administration wants to manufacture a crisis.”
These Democratic officials are demanding that the USDA follow the law and release emergency funds immediately so families can receive their November benefits.
Budget experts agree with them. The USDA’s own shutdown plan — quietly deleted from its website — clearly stated that SNAP operations should continue during a funding lapse. Even former officials under past Republican administrations say there’s no legal reason the program should stop.
While Trump’s USDA refuses to help hungry families, Democratic governors and AGs are doing what the federal government should be doing: protecting people, not punishing them.
They’re fighting for the single mom working two jobs, for the retiree on a fixed income, for the child who can’t focus in school because there’s no dinner waiting at home.
They’re standing up against Trump’s blatant weaponization of hunger — because no president should ever use food as leverage in a political fight.
Once again, it’s the Democratic states leading the moral charge while Trump’s Washington collapses into chaos and cruelty.
As one Democratic governor put it: “If Donald Trump won’t feed America’s families, we will fight him in court until he does.”
This is what real leadership looks like.
While Trump’s USDA tries to starve people to make a point, Democrats are fighting to feed the nation and uphold the law.
Because in the United States of America, nobody should go hungry just because a billionaire ex-president wants attention.
Please like and share if you’re grateful for the Democrats who are fighting against this inhuman policy.

That’s cute, but lawsuits are inedible. Thoughts and prayers either. But good luck to them – at least lawyers won’t be hungry.
