McGovern: 36,529 people are on SNAP in your district. Arrington: I have a lot more taxpayers in my district. McGovern: You’re doing these cuts and you didn’t even know what you’re cutting. The recipients in my district are scared shitless.

All we need is the political will to pass a strong farm bill that can tackle the hunger cliff.
DYK that SNAP helps people put food on the table? SNAP plays a critical role in reducing hunger, malnutrition, and poverty? SNAP improves child and adult health, employment, and other outcomes. #SNAPMatters #FarmBill4HealthyKids

Want to know what happens when you cut human needs spending? CBO says economic growth would be 0.5 percent lower, we'd lose 400,000-500,000 jobs, GDP & employment would remain below current forecasts through 2027. We must push back! Tools: https://t.co/bxlXjUaHki

Take a few minutes to tell Congress to reject more tax breaks for the wealthy: https://t.co/OWcWHFsOjB. Instead of tax handouts to those who are already doing phenomenally well, Congress should instead invest in children, families, and people with low incomes! #ChildTaxCredit

For months, Republicans held our nation’s economy hostage over their demands for caps and cuts to services for working families―all under the guise of deficit reduction. But it took them less than a...

Kevin McCarthy basically celebrated taking away food from hungry people as “one of the best nights I’ve ever had.” So let me be just as blunt. In the farm bill: work requirements, cuts to SNAP and hurting farmers are off the table. If he wants to wage that fight, bring it on.

The average SNAP benefit is $6 per person per day. That’s it. Maybe Kevin McCarthy should try living on that for a week before he tries to balance the budget on the backs of working families. 🖥️: @TheLastWord w/ @Lawrence O'Donnell

FACT CHECK: MAGA right-wing extremists are pushing phony “facts” to demonize people living in poverty. So let’s set the record straight. SNAP helps veterans, seniors, kids, and other vulnerable adults afford food. The average benefit is a measly $6 per person, per day.

Agreed, there should be no cuts to SNAP/TNAF/Medicare.
The House Republican wish list would put a million older adults at risk of losing their food assistance and going hungry. Rather than push Americans into poverty, we should reduce the deficit by making sure the wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share in taxes.
