(Washington, D.C., October 28, 2025) – U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins published an opinion piece in Newsweek addressing Senate Democrats for holding out funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by keeping the government shutdown.
"Instead of focusing on reopening the government and keeping programs like SNAP and WIC functioning, or air traffic controllers and law enforcement officers paid, or the military funded, Senate Democrats are holding firm on propping up failed government programs with billions in health care subsidies that benefit corporations over people," said Secretary Brooke Rollins. "It's long past time to stop voting against the American people. Reopen the government. Fund these programs. End the theatrics and put the well-being of the American people first."
