This Farm Bill violates the longstanding coalition that brings together all parts of our food system (conservation, agriculture & people) by utterly leaving out hungry people & locking in the devastating SNAP cuts in HR 1 for years to come. #WADems should all vote NO.

New USDA data released today: H.R. 1 enacted the deepest SNAP cuts in history last July. By January, more than 3 million fewer people were receiving food assistance. Nationwide, SNAP caseloads fell by more than 8% in just 6 months — despite no improvement in economic conditions.

As @Katie_Bergh writes: This budget would not "make America healthy." It would mean more low-income families with young kids struggling to afford enough healthy fruits & veg. It would force more low-income seniors to choose between food on the table & paying for medication.
Katie Bergh@Katie_Bergh

After enacting the deepest SNAP cuts in history last year, President Trump’s 2027 budget would continue to make groceries less affordable for low-income families. It would slash the WIC fruit & vegetable benefit by $1.4 billion & eliminate a food program for low-income seniors.

@wingod @GovKathyHochul Parents can still pay for a la cart items (pizza slice, a muffin, a sandwich, etc). But every kid does better in school with a full, balanced meal - regardless of their parents’ circumstances. So, in the richest nation in the world, we should offer that. Best ROI out there!

Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she feels “cheated” after she won a concession in the tax and spending bill to protect wind and solar projects, only to see the Trump administration issue orders that she said seem designed to quash such projects. adn.com/business-econo…

@CletaMitchell @adndotcom She voted for the bill. She thought she got concessions that would help Alaska - but lo and behold, her own party has no credibility and reneges on promises! So Alaskans will go hungry, lose health insurance, AND we all lose investments in clean energy that would limit warming 🤬

@votevets In WA, an average of 42,000 veterans receive food assistance from SNAP every year. These cuts are immoral and unforgivable.

📣“Our Veterans can’t eat thoughts and prayers.” — Rep. Angie Craig Trump and Republicans' “Big Beautiful Bill" guts food aid for those who wore the uniform. You don’t get to wave the flag while letting Veterans go hungry. That's not patriotism—that's betrayal.

No one can read 940 pages of complex legislation & be an informed voter in 18 hrs - esp when the bill’s goal is to slash programs like food & health care for the poor & climate protections to give massive tax breaks to the rich. All while adding trillion$$ to our deficit.
Manu Raju@mkraju

Just before the clock strikes midnight, Senate Republicans release text of the 940-page bill that they want to bring to the floor on Saturday to implement the Trump agenda. budget.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…

@jordainc @meredithllee Alaska (& Hawaii) get different treatment for SNAP already - but EVERY state will be hard pressed to afford to provide SNAP with these cost shifts. I thought bribing senators in exchange for votes was illegal…

Weird. Most Americans think having health insurance, enough food to eat, affordable college, clean water, child care, public lands, cancer research & billions of dollars worth of American institutions & other services are good things. Say no to the Big Betrayal Bill
Aaron Rupar@atrupar

Harry Enten on Trump's big bill: "The amount of disapproval for this bill -- holy cow, my goodness gracious! We're talking about 29 points underwater on the net favorable rating ... we're talking about a negative 41 net favorability rating among independents. You rarely ever see proposed pieces of legislation as unpopular as this ... no good."
