>House Republicans faced mounting anger on Thursday after proposing hundreds of millions of dollars in cuts to a program that provides food aid to millions of vulnerable women and children across the United States.
>The cuts were proposed in an appropriations bill to fund the US Department of Agriculture and other federal agencies. The Republican legislation would cut $200 million from the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in the coming fiscal year at a time when families nationwide are struggling to afford groceries.
>The GOP bill would cut by $141 million a WIC benefit that helps provide fruit and vegetables to toddlers, preschoolers, and pregnant and postpartum women. Around 5.4 million people would lose fruit and vegetable benefits under the Republican bill, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP).
>“There is no doubt that this appropriations bill would only deepen America’s hunger crisis,” Crystal FitzSimons, president of the Food Research & Action Center, said in a statement. “Families are already struggling in the face of rising grocery prices and would be forced to stretch tight budgets even further. In turn, they would be forced to make difficult choices such as paying for food, housing, or other basic needs.”
…
The House GOP’s proposed cuts would compound the ongoing damage inflicted by the unprecedented $200 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that congressional Republicans and President Donald Trump approved last summer.
>CBPP noted in an analysis released Wednesday “that SNAP participation nationwide fell by 2.5 million people (6%) between the law’s July 2025 enactment and December of that year, the latest month of data from the US Department of Agriculture.”
>“The declines started before HR 1’s enactment, suggesting factors at play in addition to that law,” the think tank observed. “But in many states they accelerated after HR 1, and we expect that trend to continue.”

How many of them voted for the people who are removing food from them? This is their fault, but unable to learn and will repeat this every time they vote. I wonder how many down votes this post will receive because of the truth. Republicans win many of the states that have had bills to remove food allowed for SNAP. they have realized they should have waited till after the elections to take food from their maga supporters.

There are so many screaming Christians in this administration and they have all branded Trump as Jesus 2.0 so this clearly aligns with Christs teachings and he absolutely didn’t want to feed the hungry.

The monthly funds for fruits and veggies for women – pregnant, breastfeeding – will go from fifty four dollars a month to thirteen.
THIRTEEN. For the month.
Thirteen bucks doesn’t buy you shit.
It’s ten bucks for kids. Here little Timmy, enjoy your single orange slice today, and your half a stick of celery every other day.
I’m beyond pissed off. Things were already pissing me off when I saw training materials edited because gender identity is no longer a protected class. I was more pissed off when myplate.gov was completely revamped with almost all the useful resources removed and replaced with a useless scrolling-into-infinity page with no useful information. (Check out the archived version and go look at the current one and see how bad it is.)
Now? Now I’m ready to bite concrete and spit gravel at these fuckers pushing this.
