President Trump’s 2026 budget would cut #WIC food benefits by more than $1.3 billion for more than 5 million young kids and new & expecting parents with low incomes by slashing their fruit & vegetable benefits, despite the Administration’s stated goal of improving child health.

The nutritious foods provided by #WIC—along with other vital WIC services — lead to healthier births and improved diets among participants, which in turn reduce the risk of chronic disease. cbpp.org/wicworks

#WIC provides specific foods chosen through a rigorous, science-based process, including fruits & vegetables. Based on a National Academies recommendation, Congress increased the cash-like fruit & vegetable benefit in 2021. nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/23655/…

Even with the increase, #WIC aims to provide only HALF of children’s recommended fruit & vegetable intake. Nonetheless, the increase has been extremely popular & led to a striking increase in fruit and vegetable consumption by participating children. media.nwica.org/nwa-multi-stat…

The President’s FY26 budget would severely cut the fruit and vegetable benefit, reducing it by 62% to 75% and leaving low-income pregnant women with only $13 monthly, and low-income parents with only $10 monthly for fruits & vegetables for their toddlers & preschoolers.

In aggregate, this proposal would cut #WIC participants’ fruit and vegetable benefits by more than $1.3 billion next year compared to current benefits.

This short-sighted cut raises the risk that our youngest children in families w/ low incomes don’t get enough healthy food to eat, harming their short- and long-term health.

It also directly undermines the Administration’s goal of improving children’s diets as part of a strategy of reducing chronic disease. whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…

Instead, policymakers should invest in the health of our youngest children by adhering to the longstanding bipartisan commitment to fully fund #WIC without cutting benefits.

The pro-natalist Trump Administration ladies and gentlemen.

"The reconciliation bill is very front-loaded: more deficit expansion and stimulus through to the 2028 election and then less thereafter when the bulk of the spending cuts start to kick in." -- Michael Cembalest (all red ink in graph added by me)

Pouring one out for the White House staff that did everything they could to make sure Trump never found out about “TACO.”

USW: TRUMP’S 50% TARIFFS ON STEEL AND ALUMINUM ARE A DIRECT ATTACK ON CANADIAN JOBS — OTTAWA MUST ACT NOW

Trump going nuts on tariffs is, of course, Democrats' fault.

Bottom 20% saw 12% real wage gains from 2019-2023. It may not have been politically popular, but it did happen, and inequality between the bottom 1/3 of society and the top 2/3 fell dramatically. We need to stop acting like it’s eternally 2011 in terms of macroeconomic policy.

Our first Zoomer president.
