A coalition of 25 Democratic governors and attorneys general has sued the Trump administration over its refusal to fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, which face billions in looming cuts, sparking concerns about food insecurity for millions of Americans. The lawsuit alleges that the administration's decision is in conflict with federal law and aims to protect beneficiaries from the cuts. The plaintiffs are seeking an injunction to block the funding cuts and ensure SNAP recipients continue to receive benefits. The administration has maintained its stance on reducing SNAP spending as part of a broader effort to reduce national debt.
