Each year, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits help millions of families and adults across the U.S. buy the nutritious food they need to stay healthy on a budget. This includes individuals who have served in the U.S. military.

In fact, in 2019 alone, SNAP-participating households included 1.1 million veterans.1 And according to Brandy Bauer, director of NCOA’s MIPPA Resource Center, the number who qualify but don’t know it is likely even higher.

      America Has Never Seen Corruption Like This

      But Americans have never witnessed anything like the corruption that President Donald Trump and his inner circle have perpetrated in recent months. Its brazenness, volume, and variety defy historical comparison, even in a country with a centuries-long history of graft—including, notably, Trump’s first four years in office. Indeed, his second term makes the financial scandals of his first—foreign regimes staying at Trump’s hotel in Washington, D.C.; the (aborted) plan to host the G7 at Trump’s hotel in Florida—seem quaint.

      Is This ‘What They Signed Up For?’ New Military Missions Ignite Interest in Conscientious Objectors

      Joy Metzler had expected to still be in uniform, working as a junior officer at her Air Force engineering job. Instead, she found herself protesting outside the United Nations, weakened from participating in a 40-day fast as she called on authorities to deliver full humanitarian aid to Gaza and end U.S. weapons transfers to Israel. The soft-spoken 23-year-old had pursued military service with enthusiasm. She graduated from the Air Force Academy in 2023 and received her commission the same year, hoping that the military would provide a meaningful way to give back to a country that became her home when she was adopted from China as an infant.
