Here's the story: The Trump Administration wants to examine who is actually receiving SNAP funds. The Trump Administration asked states to submit information about who was receiving benefits in their states. Many states complied. The Administration is now going through those lists to ensure only legitimate citizens are receiving help. As it should be. They owe that to the American taxpayer. When I used to work for a church, the Pastor would frequently remind us there were people on very fixed incomes giving their money to the church and we needed to keep that in mind every time we spent money on some program or the other. In other words, be good stewards of what was donated to us. The American government should do the same.
Threatening to yank funding because our state won’t hand over people’s personal information is cruel and counterproductive. I stand with Governor Evers and AG Kaul in fighting back. In Wisconsin, we should be making it easier to keep food on the table — not harder.…

Some blue states, however, refused to turn that information over to the federal government. It's funny how these baby Commie leaders love central government until a Republican led federal government asks them to provide data. Then, suddenly they are firm believers in states rights. President Trump said if they didn't comply, the funds for their state SNAP program would be withheld. They didn't like that one bit.
Wisconsin could lose federal funding to administer the nation's anti-hunger program known as SNAP, the Trump administration signaled Tuesday.
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said the Trump administration plans to halt funding for states whose governors have not responded to the agency's request for data on recipients of the program known in Wisconsin as FoodShare.
In 2023, Wisconsin received around $81 million to administer FoodShare-related programs, according to the USDA. The threatened cut doesn't include benefits for food aid recipients, which total about $110 million per month in Wisconsin.
Federal officials are seeking the names, addresses, Social Security numbers, immigration status and benefit history of the recipients in an effort to root out fraud, Rollins has said.
While it's nice Governor Evers has good vibes about the fidelity of the program, we don't govern by mood ring in the United States. Data is reality and the Trump Administration has the right to check out the information.
Wisconsin is suing the Trump administration over fabricated "privacy concerns" related to food stamp data, while also being a member of the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC).

It seems Wisconsin is okay with providing sensitive voter information to a Leftist… https://t.co/ua8AQF2aSE
Basically, the court case should just be 'we hate Donald Trump so nanny-nanny-boo-boo, we aren't complying'. That's what it boils down to and it's exhausting, at this point.
