Sacramento, CA…Governor Gavin Newsom today announced that President Trump’s federal government shutdown will likely delay food benefits for millions of Californians who rely on CalFresh cards to feed themselves and their families. If President Trump and Congress do not reopen the federal government by October 23, or take action to fund benefits, CalFresh benefits will likely be delayed in November.
This afternoon, the California Department of Social Services began notifying all counties across the Golden State to prepare for this impact. These crucial food benefits are primarily 100 percent federally funded and support roughly 5.5 million Californians — who will begin to be notified as early as this week about the potential benefit delay. In addition to the federally funded CalFresh benefits, some state funded food benefits will also be impacted.
This disastrous and harmful impact comes as the MAGA majority in Congress have allowed Trump’s shutdown to continue for one month.
“Trump’s failure to open the federal government is now endangering people’s lives and making basic needs like food more expensive — just as the holidays arrive. It is long past time for Republicans in Congress to grow a spine, stand up to Trump, and deliver for the American people.”
Governor Gavin Newsom
This devastating potential delay to people’s food comes as the Thanksgiving holiday approaches — likely meaning many could now go hungry during the holidays and putting further stress on local food banks. In California, 63.2% of SNAP participants are children or elderly.
“Government should be measured by how we protect people’s lives, their health, and their well-being. Parents and caregivers should not be forced to choose between buying groceries or paying bills. While the GOP tries to tally political wins in Washington, hardworking Americans are facing bare cupboards and counting what’s left to eat. That is unacceptable.”
First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom
The federal government has directed states to hold November 2025 benefit data that would normally allow CalFresh funds to be allocated to persons with CalFresh benefit cards. This impact is immediate and is first affecting persons newly enrolling in CalFresh during the second half of October and then all enrollees if the shutdown lasts longer than October 23rd.
The longer this Trump initiated shut down goes, the more likely additional programs will be impacted and more Californians will feel the devastating and disastrous consequences of Trump’s federal government shut down.

Please come to my house Gavvy, please, and feed me……………..
Your Dick
Well we all know Newsom would gobble Trump’s dick.
Do any democrats know why Newsom or any democrat politician, or any of our “honest” legacy media has not reported or commented on our State Capitol remodel that has now exceeded $$$$ ONE BILLION ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS? Not one legacy media outlet has reported on this, but we all know how neutral they are after 4 years of a dictorship would not let them report on Hunter Biden’s laptop, or follow up on the cocaine found in the White House, or the President Obama and Hillary Clinton Fake Steele Dossier and the DNC Fake Russian Collusion Hoax, or Nancy Pelosi’s refusal to call in the National Guard, or Adam Schiff’s folder of facts on Russian Collusion, or Dianne Feinsteins staff trying to hide her mental well being like the WH tried to hide the Biden family cover up of our Mental Illness in Chief, and that ended up as our worst Administration in Modern History. Joe and Kamala became the worst POTUS and VP in our entire history.
What a shame, America’s News agencies were once shining examples of telling the world of unbiased news and now has sunk almost as low as the entire democrat party.
I guess the left has gone back to their roots, saying they aren’t the party of violence, hate and killing, just like they aren’t the party that started the Klu Klux Klan 3 different times in our History, it was those people who did, as they point their crooked fingers at Republicans and democrat voters who have fled their violent, unintelligent masses who still think that one day they’ll collect a billionaires money because thats what a socialist dictator told them they deserve.
Poor dumbacrats, too damn dumb to know how their party has sunk to the lowest levels ever recorded in history.
What a bunch of brain surgeons, huh?HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Maybe if we took care of Americans before illegals then there might be some cash around to cover the food stamp benefits until the Democrat caused shutdown is solved.
Illegals don’t get food stamps but they, you’re an idiot!
Good! Get a Job.
Sorry Republicans run the house, senate and white house. Even though both sides have to take blame.This not a democrate shutdown moron . Just to much Faux News for you
Of course its a democrat shutdown and even millions of democrat voters said so. I’m not talking about the millions of democrat voters who left the democrat party and became Republicans, I’m talking about democrat voters themselves, you know the ones smarter by far, than you.
Dems won’t vote to fund the government until the health care subsidies are reinstated. Republicans have the power to fund the government without any dems at any time.
So illegals will have medical paid for by the 40 plus percent of tax payers, and yes, democrats are lying when they say illegals dont get medical. Dr Oz said they’ve already proved they do by going thru 2 states records of just two months and found over One Billion Dollars of payments of the tax payers footing the bills.
Insult to injury, Trump’s approval rating since the dems shutting down the government has gone up, and no surprises here, the Dims numbers sank even lower.
Hahaha, losing more everyday and they just can’t see the hole they’ve dug themselves.

Adam Fairy if you’re hungry I have a all meat sausage draped over my thigh wait for your love…,,,
Hey Anti^^^^^^^^^^^if you are going to continue mistake riddled commenting, could you at least try using an occassional comma, period, some form of proper sentence composition. You are so effing obvious. Why was Bret Harte so lacking in educating you?
You really are a moron.
Your Pal,
Snivvy the know it all…,,,lol
Thank You Mr. Know it All, that doesn’t know shit…,,,
Then Adam shut me up, Pussy…,,,
I’m a volunteer librarian, BFD
Adam? Just whip out your penis and anti will be on her knees ducking on it like a calf on mommas teats
Blah Blah Blah
Concerning Trumps Top Gun video where he drops fecal matter on No Kings Day protestors…That video is spot on, and one of the TRUE facts from this wannabe king.
HE IS SHITTING ON AMERICA. But the video shows him shitting on Dems. The truth is:
TRUMP IS CHITTING ON ALL AMERICANS.
The difference, Dems know it, Calaveras Republicans have no idea. In fact, THEY EAT IT UP. That’s how stupid local Trumpsters are. Sad, but true.
Trumps video confirms it, he is chitting on all of America. And you cultists love it.
Wait.. so you think food stamps are good?
Food aid helps many groups, the poor, especially kids, pregnant mothers, seniors, unemployed, disabled.
The Bible says feed them, Republicans say NO.
The 20 billion for Argentina would cover the cuts for the ACA , the Republicans say NO.
The Bible says take care of those who need it, Republicans say NO.
Republicans,time to read the new testament, or STFU trying to be Christian.
There’s plenty of jobs for the welfare leeches known as democrats to get now since Trump has deported over half a million illegals and 70% of them were criminals. Also another 1 and a half million self deported. Thats a lot of jobs you leeches could fill.
PS National Guard is headed to SF YIPPIEDOOO
65% of food stamp recipients are elderly or children
Children dont get food vouchers, democrats do. Just ask to buy some from one of our homeless bums. 10 cents on the dollar and they’ll sell to buy their booze or drugs.
Geez, lick those boots harder
Don’t worry, the President is giving $40,000,000,000 to Argentina. There is money for that, sorry hungry American children.
As long as I see able bodied boys/ men playing frisbee golf at Feeney, plus hit Wal-Mart anytime of the day, hundreds of able bodied men and women shopping, when Igrew up, men went to work or starved to death, not many were into starving, hence they worked! Democrats, Progressives leeches, whatever you want to call them have lived off these non working people forever, a vote for freebees, that is their motto, and to add to that have a litter of babies is one of their favorite outs! Too many of you Gay Bays that have moved up here don’t know how to use a can opener much less know what end of a rake or shovel to use, so you go golfing,skiing, boating and hire yourself out of “WORK”. Your the same so called men that never served your country, that’s for other “FOOLS”. Grow up and get a pair, no wonder most of this past weekends protesters were these 60’s women, scattered in with some so called men that are worthless!
Touche sir, and ain’t that the truth.
CA has the highest inflation rate of any state in the Nation, the laziest Americans in the nation. They live here because they know the Democrats in Sacramento have their back as long as those leeches keep voting for them.
Let NY City elect this commie in, see how long there is satisfaction with the Commie!
Ask yourself, why am I so worked up about the major race in a city and state where I don’t live?
Why are you so worked up over Trump then? Go move to Canada, they’re full of liberal losers who hate Trump like you.
As for NYC if the socialist Hamas supporter wins, it’s a loss for NYC and a win for the Republicans and the entire Nation to see how bad NYC falls in the dumpacrap chithole. The money will leave NYC and the poor will become poorer.
I see many are programmed by Fox, Newsmax, OAN.
When you are fed lies you believe them.
Again you need to read the new testament.
Charlie Kirk also missed the new testament message.
Hate, intolerance, threatening violence is the message of maga.
It just isn’t what the 75% in America wants.
3 billionaires whispering in the don’s ear should not own out courts, government, this must stop.
Russel Vought is a pure fascist, and is behind the shutdown.
Stephan Miller the fascist nazi is once again showing the sociopathic depravity of his White Supremacy.
America is better than this.
We must Return to majority rule.
Say hi to Whoopi on the View before you change the channel and watch the Cartoon National Network, hypocrite. They’re the reason over 80% of Americans say the legacy media is biased and don’t believe in any of what they report. Unlike you, they seem intelligent. 🙂
I look at university media studies on American media, which ones are factual, the studies show Fox, Newsmax, Oan and others are not factual, but are commentary, not sources for factual news.
Rodger Ailes the previous head of Fox on a court stand, that Fox is not a news source.
Just so people know if you want news, Fox is not about reporting news, but right wing commentary.
“Alternative facts” remember truth does not have an alternative , there is only one truth, such as gravity, just try to spin that.
And the university i atended said ther never see a dick bigger than mine going in Adam Fairys but hole, except when I screwed Trump’s a hole.
George Santos enjoyed Anti’s rim crew…
Breaking News … Anti in women’s clothing as he fantasizes about George SANTOS…
Adam Fairy, George is busy can I swing by your trailer for a Blow Job? Anti
Thanks Adam I needed that, Anti
Breaking News looking at the comments here are sad and depressing if this is where are country is at we are doomed.
BOTTOM LINE; LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DAY TRUMP IS VIOLENTLY KILLED.
You really need to get laid. I am sure there are a few trannys out there that would love to work you out.
I do not propose death to anyone, but achieving consciousness.
That said, I do not see America changing until the majority say enough of the hijacking of America by the oligarchs .
We are in the same period as 1929 , the robber baron era, then the great depression.
America’s majority must demand the Republicans stop the literal tearing down of America as the criminal is doing to our WH West wing.
The plans are for the Epstein ballroom to be larger, taller than our WH.
This is only a vanity edifice for the convicted rapist in our WH.
What sucks for you is the vast majority disagree with you, unless, of course, you only pay attention to the MSM. Step outside your echo chamber and see the light.
Have you ever considered that you are the one in the echo chamber?
Food for thought
What sucks is you are in a disinfo bubble.
The latest polls show the lowest of any president, low 30’s.
Keep believing the lies, just know they are lies.
The don is taking America down. The economists, banks, industry know this, you don’t, sad.
Get informed, get out of the disinfo bubble.
Link to those poll numbers??
The don is another dystopian rant said the US cattle ranchers would be in bad shape if not for him???
Cattle prices are the highest in history, but costs also are high, so profits not in step.
The don blamed cattlemen prices they demand, yet the meat corporations buy the cattle, they set the prices, so once again, the don is showing he knows nothing, as what he has done to the export grain markets, zero sales abroad, farmers going bankrupt.
The sentiment in the Republican’s farm/ranch base is that the don has screwed them so much, they demand the Republicans to do somet1hing, some say invoke the 25th amendment, and remove him.
Republicans better wise up, as the majority, and the usual Republican base is saying oh hell no.
Oh look, a liberal soy-boy vegan worried about the cattle industry.
Besides, this should be a win for you. More expensive beef means less beef being eaten which means less cow farts to destroy our environment.
Foxbot talk. Far off , as usual, brainwashed.
I’m a 55 year farmer, dairy, hogs, poultry, had a farm store. Moved to Ca, another farm, sold pork, grass fed beef for 30 years.
Try truth for a change , and know what you’re yammering about.
Sure thing, pal. We ALL believe you. Maybe if you quit spewing BS all the time you would be taken seriously.
55 years of cow farts, thanks for your contribution to climate change. Hope it was worth the money to ensure my kids die because of catastrophic damage to our environment.
Turns out that America First was a hit list
Guys, he is tearing down the East Wing of the White House and building a ballroom with bribes.
And he is demanding $230 million dollars from the DOJ for investigating his crimes.
But please try to explain the convoluted corruption of the Biden administration…
More BS from the pig farmer.
I’ve done a few pigs back in my day, Adam Fairy
The don just pardoned another convicted criminal.
The don has pardoned over 100 convicted criminals.
Que the what about Hunter Biden con comments ? really / one guy vrs 100s of convicted some violent, the rest finance criminals what a career criminal can do.
Why does maga support a convicted rapist , financial fraud criminal, who now is screwing many of his base- farmers, business, banks , Latinos , Black ?
What a sad sorry period in our history .
Did you catch the video that shows Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) admitting her party is using U.S. families suffering from the government shutdown as leverage against Republicans?
House Speaker Mike Johnson placed a television outside his office with the video clip on repeat.
Check it out.

The con don is using the shutdown as a power move.
The destruction of the East wing an example.
The Fed commission that oversees historic Federal buildings did not get to look at the planned removal, and destruction of historic inside parts of the East wing, due to they being shut down during the impasse in Congress.
This is how criminals take advantage of chaos , the con don’s main tool to avoid laws, oversight.
The most corrupt criminal administration in US history.
Dems Block Bill To Pay Military Personnel, ICE Agents, TSA Workers & Other Essential Employees During Gov’t Shutdown
The Senate voted 54-45 against advancing Republican legislation to continue paying U.S. troops, Capitol Police and other essential federal employees during the ongoing government shutdown.
Democrat Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock of Georgia, and John Fetterman of Pennsylvania each voted in favor of the proposal.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) said the bill would have paid air traffic controllers, TSA agents, park rangers, federal law enforcement, ICE and DPS agents throughout the shutdown.
“Tomorrow, federal workers will miss a full paycheck because of the Democrat shutdown,” Thune said before the vote. “Do they think people working ought to get paid?”
Speaking against the bill, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said, “It’s nothing more than another tool for Trump to hurt federal workers and American families and to keep this shutdown going for as long as he wants. We will not give Donald Trump a license to play politics with people’s livelihoods. That’s why we oppose this.”
Of course, Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) admitted earlier this week that her party is using U.S. families suffering from the government shutdown as leverage against Republicans.
Democrats are openly hoping to keep the shutdown going with the maximum amount of damage inflicted so they can score political points as the lapdog establishment media pushes the narrative that Trump is to blame for the debacle.
The republicans have enough votes to end to 60 vote threshold to pass a budget. They are choosing not to do that. They don’t need the dems to do anything.
And… the entire east wing is gone. He demolished the entire thing.
So what? The east and west wings were added much later than the White House, and needed renovations anyway. It could only fit 200 people, now it will fit 1000. Many presidents have added on or changed the white house campus. At least this one is being privately funded and will be used long after Trump is gone.
How do you feel about the 1.1 billion dollar taxpayer funded renovation of the California capitol?
And I’m sure you would feel the same if Obama had town down a third of the White House.
“Privately funded” means bribes. Hope that helps!
Imagine the security concerns of a thousand people in the White House
Wait for the Grand Opening, send in the Drones, blow each and everyone of the MAGA supporters off the face of earth!!! Done deal.
They’re demolishing the mid-20th century, World War II era sections of the East Wing to make way for a new ballroom. These sections are likely filled with asbestos, outdated wiring, and HVAC systems that belong in a museum of poor engineering. Naturally, liberals are losing their minds, claiming that this is part of the residence itself. Apparently, nobody knows what the residence actually looks like. Meanwhile, the ‘historic’ materials they’re complaining about are simply concrete beams and steel studs in the office annex. Fingers crossed they preserve all those gorgeous parking-garage vibes while they tear it apart. I can practically smell the mold.
Cheered as historical statues were toppled, but terribly upset over some old walls I thought they didn’t like walls.
Whoa boy, then they aren’t doing asbestos demolition correctly at all
In just over a week, nearly 42 million people in the U.S. who get federal food assistance are in danger of seeing their benefits disappear because of the ongoing federal shutdown.
At this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president’s main priority.
Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) admitted earlier this week that her party is using U.S. families suffering from the government shutdown as leverage against Republicans. Maybe you should write your Dem reps and have them end the shutdown?
Thanks again for your 55 years of changing the climate with the methane from your cows so you can enrich yourself.
Speaker Johnson is keeping the House in recess. This is separate from the shutdown.
Johnson could call the House in session , and address many issues , he chooses not to , mainly because it gives the don full power, a king. He has used the shutdown to ignore our Constitution and laws, which the House is power to control the executive branch.
Johnson also does not want to swear in the new Democratic Rep from Az, who would then bring the House to a vote to release the Epstein files.
Johnson is covering for the pedo rapist con don .
There are other files for the Epstein case, sworn testimony, from two other sources, Johnson knows this, the DOJ, FBI who cleaned up their Epstein files knows this.
The don will be shown he is a pedo rapist, it is just a matter of time.
Meanwhile Johnson has crowned the con don with a king’s crown.
I just finished reading up to this point 70 posts of hate and sarcasm! No wonder this world we live in is so screwed up!
The most nakedly corrupt people are in charge of our country. And they are gutting everything to enrich themselves and their rich friends.
I mean, trump is demanding the DOJ pay him $230 million (of our money) for his pain and suffering of being investigated. The guy who will approve this is Todd Blanche, trump’s personal lawyer. Does it get more swampy than that?
So defending our Constitution , rights, liberty is hate?
The world is screwed up because the billionaires have bought the media, governmental bodies, courts, in many countries, cancelling Democracies, and installing autocrats. The efforts by the billionaires are the same world wide.
Do we allow this? or do we speak up and defend our human rights of self determination?
