What does that mean? More people will lose food assistance so that the mythical jobless video gamer gets off the couch.

Reminder – Republicans say they’re targeting mythical able-bodied men playing video games, but they actually wrote a law that specifically targets and takes food away from parents, veterans, people facing homelessness, and older workers who face complications finding jobs.

No matter the spin - research has shown over and over again that work requirements do not increase employment. They do not increase earnings. They just cut people off from the support they need to meet their basic needs.

This means continuing to monitor participation & food costs to ensure WIC can serve every eligible person who seeks benefits.

Policymakers should invest in the health of our youngest children by adhering to the longstanding bipartisan commitment to fully fund #WIC in 2026.

The Senate bill, on the other hand, provides sufficient funding for WIC & protects the science-based fruit and vegetable benefit. Policymakers must adopt this approach as conversations about 2026 funding continue.

The House bill also starts the process laid out in President Trump’s budget of slashing the #WIC fruit and vegetable benefit, raising the risk that our youngest children in families w/ low incomes don’t get enough healthy food to eat.

Just after passing the deepest cut to #SNAP in history, the House ag appropriations bill underfunds #WIC & risks eligible families being turned away for the first time in nearly 3 decades—especially if food costs rise or participation grows.

Yesterday, Senate appropriators approved their bill to set 2026 #WIC funding. In stark contrast to the House bill, the Senate version maintains the nearly 30-year commitment to providing enough funding to serve all eligible applicants with the full science-based food benefit.

It is quite unsettling to watch House Republicans cheer for a bill that will take health insurance from millions, increase hunger for so many & drive up deficits. This day will not be forgotten.

House & Senate Republicans have now passed a bill that will raise families' food & health care costs, increase poverty & hunger, take health coverage away from millions of ppl & drive up deficits - all to give costly tax cuts to the wealthy & corporations.

Senate Republicans made a horrible house bill even worse. The House must stop this horrible bill from going any further.
