As Millions Lose SNAP, Senate Farm Bill Proposal Ignores Urgent Need to Protect Food Assistance for Low-Income FamiliesThe farm bill proposal released today by Senate Agriculture Committee Chair John Boozman ignores the rapidly worsening hunger crisis in the wake of the 2025 Republican reconciliation law (H.R. 1).www.cbpp.org

This plan's reported failure to address the emergency unfolding across the country is unconscionable. 4+ million people (including 800k kids) have already lost SNAP, far more than many expected. Congress must delay H.R. 1’s huge shift cost shift to states. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Think we can say pretty safely that the food assistance cuts from the Big Beautiful Bill will turn out to be much bigger than initially estimated (no shade at CBO, who had impossible task of guessing state response to the cost share).

"There is no shortage of resources for the most vulnerable among us" is true, but not in the way the Trump administration thinks.

These former governors are right: the SNAP cost shift is a ticking time bomb for state budgets. States will have to pay 100s of millions annually + had no say in its design or time to prepare. Extending the full 2-year delay to every state is a fair fix. www.hickenlooper.senate.gov/press_releas...

In MA, about 20% of grocery sales are from SNAP - SNAP is a critical part of our economy in every city and town across the Commonwealth!

The terrible cost of Republicans' SNAP cuts is becoming clearThanks to the GOP’s cuts to SNAP, the number of people in the U.S. receiving food assistance through the program fell by more than 3.5 million.www.ms.now

SNAP recipients are already struggling with barriers around food assistance due to cuts from the Republican megabill and harmful work requirements. Listen to their experiences and @tyjonescox.bsky.social discuss more via Morning Edition: www.npr.org/2026/05/20/n...

As states enact changes to SNAP benefits, recipients face new challengesStates are phasing in major changes to food assistance. We hear from people who are feeling the impact and from Ty Jones Cox of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.www.npr.org

The biggest misunderstanding about HR1 (big beautiful bill) is that it was about work requirements or error or fraud. The point was to make it impossible for eligible people to access benefits by requiring them to navigate an endless array of impossible bureaucratic obstacles.

This story by @spettypi.bsky.social is extremely important because she documents in Arizona - SNAP participants losing access to the program who should be exempt from changing eligibility criteria - The state admitting that they need to deny eligible participants access to reduce their error rate.
