The Trump administration has used federal government websites and official public service videos to place blame for the government shutdown on Democrats, drawing an outcry for injecting partisan politics into the bureaucracy. Now, some states with Democratic governors have seemingly adopted a milder version of the same tactic in announcing that federal food assistance for low-income families would not be available in November if the shutdown continued.

The website for the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, which runs the state’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program known as SNAP, carried a banner message on Monday afternoon that November SNAP benefits could not be paid “because Republicans in Washington D.C., failed to pass a federal budget, causing the federal government shutdown.”
