The Senate Parliamentarian has made it clear that Republicans cannot use their highly partisan budget to cut nutrition assistance by shifting major costs to states. We will continue fighting to protect SNAP. nytimes.com/2025/06/21/us/…

🚨Breaking News🚨 CBO confirms: The proposed Republican Senate bill would end SNAP for 2.9 million Americans, including 1.1M who live where jobs are scarce, 900K seniors, 600K parents, and 270K veterans, homeless, & former foster youth.

I’ve seen firsthand how SNAP food assistance helps families survive, live with dignity, and move forward. While Congressional Republicans and President Trump boast about cutting SNAP, let’s remember it’s not about reducing bureaucracy - that’s about letting people go hungry.

I joined governors from across the country to discuss how the Big Beautiful Betrayal takes food away from millions of families, blows a hole in state budgets, and undercuts our farmers and independent grocers. When the American people learn what’s in the bill, they don’t like it.

23 of our Nation’s Governors: “If states are forced to end their SNAP programs, hunger and poverty will increase, children and adults will get sicker, grocery stores in rural areas will struggle to stay open, people in agriculture and the food industry will lose jobs.”

I just offered my amendment to save the SNAP program – to protect food assistance for kids, seniors, and veterans. All but two Republicans voted to keep these devastating cuts.

BREAKING: Republicans just blocked my amendment to ensure Veterans, foster kids and the homeless aren’t denied SNAP benefits. There is no one Republicans won’t betray to ram through tax cuts for their billionaire buddies.

I just offered a simple motion on the Senate floor. Stop the Big Ugly Bill from ripping food assistance away from families with kids under 12. Republicans blocked it.

Today, Ranking Member Klobuchar called a vote on her amendment to ensure that states with the highest SNAP error rates don’t get preferential treatment when it comes to cost shifts:

“My grandfather used to tell me that you don’t have to be rich to lead a rich life. No program better reflects this belief than one that ensures our most vulnerable neighbors have enough to eat.”  Thank you, Rachael Ray. x.com/washingtonpost…
