The proposed Farm Bill by House Republicans includes significant cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), affecting millions of Americans who rely on food assistance. Critics argue that the bill prioritizes wealthy farmers over addressing food insecurity, with bipartisan opposition criticizing the subsidies for wealthy farmers and reduction in food aid. Democrats are advocating to protect and expand SNAP benefits to help families facing rising costs and food insecurity.
In America, no child should go to bed hungry or wonder where their next meal will come from. Hunger is real. #SNAP ensures mothers, and families can put food on the table. I am committed to protecting #SNAP @HouseAgDems are united we need Republicans to come to the table. https://t.co/fQ915GOd4X
My @HouseAgDems colleagues and I are fighting to expand SNAP to help feed more families and our veterans. Meanwhile, Republicans want to cut this program by $30 billion, hurting those in need.
Last night, I led a Special Order Hour on the importance of protecting #SNAP. Hunger continues to be a pervasive issue in America. Cuts to SNAP would put millions at risk. Democrats are united in protecting SNAP and ensuring families in need can put food on the table. https://t.co/78UWDgHgz5
The GOP war on working families shamelessly continues. SNAP is our nation's most important anti-hunger program, and their plan would cut $30 billion over the next decade. 40 million Americans rely on SNAP. We cannot allow Rs to send millions into food insecurity and poverty. https://t.co/nYR2ut4GU6
The Farm Bill should protect our lands, invest in jobs for rural communities, provide life-saving hunger assistance and support farmers who grow our food. The House GOP’s partisan Farm Bill completely misses the mark. A purely partisan Farm Bill has no future in the Senate.
Over 41,000 Indianapolis families depend on SNAP to put food on the table. The 2024 Farm Bill proposes drastic cuts to this vital program – funds my constituents simply can’t afford to lose. We must increase funding to SNAP to meet the cost of groceries, not decrease it. https://t.co/5VFh770DEf
Americans are struggling with rising costs, living paycheck to paycheck. Republicans want to restrict access to food, but do nothing to address corporate price gouging. Join me & @AppropsDems as we fight to protect the programs that help families. https://t.co/yUe9am3GTQ

Extremist Republicans are once again trying to cut SNAP benefits in the Farm Bill. The same Republicans in Congress who are happy to give tax cuts to their billionaire buddies. #TX35 needs a Farm Bill focused on feeding families, not padding pockets. https://t.co/tK4fWClNTq
During these uncertain times, no child in our great country should go hungry. The Republican draft of the Farm Bill confirms our worst fears. Instead of increasing SNAP benefits to offset rising inflation, House Republicans want to make substantial cuts, close to $30 billion and…
Last week, Republicans released their proposal for the Farm Bill. It includes the largest cut to SNAP in 30 years. The GOP is more willing to cut support for 42 million Americans who rely on nutrition assistance than make the wealthiest 0.01% pay what they owe in taxes.
