"[C]ritics warn that outsourcing the management of more than $31 billion in #school funding for low-income districts and #college programs to agencies with no #education expertise is a recipe for #chaos. The Labor Department, they say, has neither the bandwidth nor the expertise to administer programs such as Title I school funding, which is critical for #Black and brown K-12 students."
Of course, causing chaos is the aim of the #Trump administration, along with hurting Black #Americans.

![The image depicts a person standing in front of a pile of seasonal vegetables and corn, holding an old-fashioned rifle. The individual is dressed in a brown coat, gloves, pants, shoes, which indicate traditional or possibly rural attire suitable for colder weather.
In the background, there's a white brick wall that might suggest an outdoor setting near a farmstead or country home. A blue door can be seen to the left side of the frame adding contrast and depth to the composition. The person is holding the rifle with both hands, positioned as if readying it for use which could imply they are engaged in hunting activities.
The seasonal vegetables include different types of pumpkins, corn on the cob, dried maize ears among others suggesting harvest time. This image evokes a sense of rustic life and simplicity often associated with rural America during certain seasons or holidays such as Thanksgiving. It's worth noting that this photograph is part of Toni Frissell’s collection reflecting her focus on capturing everyday American lives across various conditions including economic hardships like the Great Depression.
This particular shot, titled 'Shooting Fashions - Mrs. Robert Me Leau', was taken in Philadelphia in 1963 and reflects a period when fashion trends were influenced by wartime austerity measures which led to more practical clothing styles for both men and women. It is an example of how photography can be used as h [...]](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/115/591/616/856/859/070/original/365a79e4ac08cdbd.jpeg)

@mcnado they should be looking at a minimum wage to remove #foodstamps like every other country did in the 50s.
As for the medical profession in the USA it is noticeable on #tiktok the number of #americans moving to Australia in the education and health sector. We don’t mind. I also hear that there is a mass exodus of #flightcontrollers.

What the data says about food stamps in the U.S.
A sign in the window of a Miami grocery store shows it accepts payments through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. (Joe Raedle/Getty Images)Even before large pieces of the federal government shut down in October 2025, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP – sometimes called the food stamp program – was in for some big changes.
The tax, spending and policy bill passed by Congress earlier this year expanded work requirements for SNAP, tightened eligibility rules, imposed new cost-sharing obligations on states and made other changes to the program. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the changes will reduce federal spending on SNAP by $186.7 billion over the next decade.
But the 43-day shutdown created further challenges for the program, which helps nearly 42 million Americans put food on the table. While October benefits were paid in full and on time, November’s payments got caught up in a tangle of lawsuits, conflicting court rulings and short-term, state-level fixes. The law reopening the government funds SNAP through September 2026, the end of the current fiscal year.
Here’s a closer look at the food stamp program, based on data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (whose Food and Nutrition Service administers SNAP), the Census Bureau and other sources.
- How many Americans use food stamps?
- How has the number of food stamp recipients changed over time?
- Who is eligible for food stamps?
- What work requirements are there for receiving food stamps?
- What do we know about food stamp recipients in the U.S.?
- How much do food stamp recipients get each month?
- Where is food stamp usage highest and lowest?
- What can you buy with food stamps? What can’t you buy?
- Where can people use food stamps? Where do they use them most frequently?
- How much does the federal government spend on food stamps each year?
- How has the cost of the food stamp program changed over time?
- Why are they called “food stamps,” anyway?
How we did this
Pew Research Center conducted this analysis to learn more about the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as food stamps. The nation’s largest food assistance program, SNAP became entangled in the 43-day budget standoff between congressional Democrats, Republicans and the Trump administration.
Our main data source was the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), the agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture that administers SNAP and other food assistance programs. We supplemented the FNS data with data from the Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Program Participation, which focuses on the demographic and other characteristics of people and households who receive various forms of federal assistance. We also used the Census Bureau’s population and household estimates in some of our analyses. Finally, we obtained government expenditure data for other federal assistance programs from the Office of Management and Budget.
Our analysis of SNAP participation rates in states and territories used data on SNAP recipients for May 2025 and Census Bureau population estimates for July 2024, the most recent available. For Guam and the Virgin Islands, which the census did not publish estimates of, we used 2024 population estimates from the CIA World Factbook.
How many Americans use food stamps?
The numbers vary from month to month. But in May 2025, the most recent month with available figures, 41.7 million people in 22.4 million households received SNAP benefits. That works out to nearly 1 in every 8 people in the country.
On average, 42.4 million people in 22.7 million households received monthly SNAP benefits through the first eight months of the 2025 fiscal year (October 2024 to May 2025).
SNAP operates in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and the Virgin Islands. A separate program provides nutrition assistance grants to Puerto Rico, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands.
