This bill is a disaster for children. It walks away from a 50-year commitment to ensure that poor children in rural Alabama and New York City all have access to the food assistance they need to grow and thrive.

Reposted from Ty Jones Cox

The House Ag bill released tonight would take away or cut #SNAP food benefits for millions of low-income people struggling to afford groceries—families w/ children, seniors, ppl w/ disabilities, veterans & workers in low-wage jobs.

A warned disaster

Republican politicians want poor people to die
🤬

This is where you have to hold their feet to the fire. Corner them and demand "What's the upside to this? Who wins?"

Crime rates will begin to rise. Take away things essential to live, and fear and desperation will ensue. This will certainly tickle Stephen Miller's fancy.

Absolutely shameful!

To cut taxes on the wealthy. Shameful

Anything to benefit the rich 🤬🤯

This would be a tragedy!

Unfortunately, so many who voted for him will be affected by this, as well as others who didn't and way too many children. A future with this in it is so very ugly.

Farmers Markets take SNAP which allows for access to fresh produce. With benefits eliminated we have Ivanka Trump and her for profit business selling curated “prescription fresh produce because food is medicine “stripping access from poor people to make $ is sick and so very Trump

AWFUL!!

And for what....rich folks have enough!!

Not to mention what it will do to farmers!!!!

The data that the limited roll out of food stamps provided: It changed lives. Children who participated in the pilots had better outcomes as adults. SNAP feeds the future.

The billionaires generally do not care what happens to the poor, as long as the poor buy their phones, send money and order food and travel locally using their apps.

This bill cannot pass.

katbloomwitch.bsky.social•6 days ago

They have majority and it’s their Bill, sadly it will probably pass.

And - it will for the first time take food assistance away from parents who can't meet a red tape-laden work requirement, leaving the family without enough to afford food for their kids.

tyjonescox.bsky.social•7 days ago

By slashing federal funding for food assistance, it also paves the way for states to restrict eligibility, which could cut millions of working families with children off SNAP entirely.

Serious question... How are these people going to eat. Food pantries have been hard put to fill their shelves for years now. Is this the start of bread lines?

wendychris.bsky.social•6 days ago

How the hell are they going to explain their votes to their constituents?
Disgusting.

jem8998b.bsky.social•6 days ago

Republicans are against red tape except when they can use it to keep people from voting, keep the poor being hungry and take away medical care.

cannaman777.bsky.social•6 days ago

Shame on GOP America.

the-dudemeister.bsky.social•6 days ago

The GOP under Trump is openly at war with the poor & middle class. These puritanical motherfuckers need to be shown the door. Preferably at 30,000'.

As hard as I am struggling to understand the evil of the repuglicans, I am failing.

lianeterese.bsky.social•6 days ago

But "No, no it won't" says every republican in congress. But days after bill passes....."Yes, yes it did."

How do I know this? Trump ran on no cuts to medicaid. RFK Jr ran on support of vaccines.

mb5741.bsky.social•6 days ago

I’m one of those seniors. On Medicaid and SNAP. I need the lifesaving meds I can’t afford. I get hungry too.

katbloomwitch.bsky.social•6 days ago

I’m sorry 😢 😽

mikaelaskyesays.bsky.social•6 days ago

Will the media cover the bill with the same fever that they are covering the Diddy trial

Ya lets take 6.00 bucks out of our kids mouths. Why not.

One way to fight back. Show up. https://www.nokings.org/ Everywhere except in DC to avoid the nonKing’s military birthday parade. So much $ for a parade, so little for hungry children. For shame.

mac11187.bsky.social•6 days ago

So what you're saying is, mass starvation is coming to America, and Trump and Republicans are doing this to pay for a tax cut for the rich?

disinterred.bsky.social•6 days ago

I hope you’re using the “cannibalism “ perk on this toon. Soon only the rich will be fat enough to eat, and slow enough to catch.

claudiamw.bsky.social•6 days ago

Suggestion: Always tie the Republican Party to their travesties. Never leave ambiguity about who is behind them.

Ex: “This REPUBLICAN bill is a disaster for children.”

Let’s commit to stamping out the perception that the two parties are the same by nailing the GOP to all of its crimes!

alexjchambers.bsky.social•6 days ago

Soooo apparently ‘protect the kids’ means it’s AOK to starve them 🤬

oldskier.bsky.social•7 days ago

This Bill IS a disaster, and the manner in which they got there was ALSO a disaster.
GOPers have always told us you can't get something for nothing. and yet, that is exactly what they think the wealthy are entitled to!

fenraven.bsky.social•7 days ago

They. Don't. Care. 😢

Much better to let the food rot.

cabbageridge.bsky.social•7 days ago

Well then urban legislators should vote against it. SNAP was included in the AG bill to ensure bipartisan and urban support. Remove that? I was married to a farmer have nephews who farm and I say vote against it.

msbonnie.bsky.social•7 days ago

Trump republicans are at war with poverty and children. They have made food, healthcare, education and housing a character issue defined by wealth and tax cuts. They have created an uneducated class to vote them in and serve their needs.
