Changes to Food Stamp Program SNAP Coming in November

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich recently shared his concerns about the tone and energy he observed from House Democrats during a joint session of Congress. He described what he saw as disengagement, even during moments meant to unify or uplift the chamber. To him, it signaled a deeper problem: that partisan reflexes were beginning to overshadow the kind of leadership and collaboration the public hopes to see.

“They couldn’t applaud anything,” Gingrich remarked, suggesting that this level of polarization reflects not just disagreement, but a lack of shared vision for solving national challenges. His comments were less about a single moment and more about what he sees as a troubling pattern in the broader political landscape.

Gingrich pointed to polling from his conservative research group showing that 82% of Americans believe the political system is corrupt. He argued that if this perception continues unchecked, it could erode trust in the institutions that sustain democracy. In his framing, Republican leaders are positioning themselves around reform efforts, while he accuses Democrats of defending long-standing bureaucratic systems.

Even for those who view these claims differently, the underlying issue he raises — the public’s growing distrust in government — is real, and it crosses party lines. The conversation reflects a wider national concern: how to rebuild confidence, encourage honest debate, and ensure that leadership is driven not by applause lines or partisan loyalty, but by service to the public.
