Trump's 'Beautiful' Bill Cut Food Benefits For Over a Million Kids

Sunday, July 26, 2026

More than a million children across the US have lost access to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap) food benefits since Congress approved the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in July 2025, according to a new report from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP).

NEW: In the 9 months after last year's reconciliation law enacted unprecedented SNAP cuts, the number of people receiving SNAP fell by more than 4.5 million. Based on available data, we estimate that at least 1.5 million fewer kids are receiving SNAP. www.cbpp.org/research/foo ...

Kids? Unless they have some allowance money in their pocket, there's seldom anything worth stealing. Ever seen Trump with kids? Yeah, wrapped in a cloud of natural affinity. And his own? Whew.

Why do this? Bread, bird and broccoli are not expensive to produce. Is the "one other thing" an intestinal parasite?

The Trump kids made two billion by selling national secrets. Everyone elses children are victims of their treason economy.

Republicans hate Americans.

Everything Trump and republicans have done has made life worse for Americans.

Because it hurts black and brown kids more than it hurts white kids, Republicans support this.

Trump loves starving kids almost as much as he loves raping them.

Take from the poor to give to the very rich in the form of major tax cuts...top of the list of projects of the Trump gang. It is how he gets the billionaire oligarchs to fund his stupid everything.

FTA
"The legislation tightened eligibility rules for food assistance and increased state screening requirements"

It's called reform.

"Today, I have signed into law H.R. 3734, the "Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996." While far from perfect, this legislation provides an historic opportunity to end welfare as we know it and transform our broken welfare system by promoting the fundamental values of work, responsibility, and family.

This Act honors my basic principles of real welfare reform. It requires work of welfare recipients, limits the time they can stay on welfare, and provides child care and health care to help them make the move from welfare to work.

Horrible things.

Harming the innocent, helpless and needy.

Wishing for everyone to be productive or employed comes after starvation, demoralization and poverty.

His language and manner depict a world of needless poverty.

Education and housing are a privatized, they don't want access to non-privatized food either.

Capitalist parasite enjoy subsidies and access to public owned resources while crushing alternatives and subverting democracy.

Economic interests supercede all reason thus Luigi Mangioni performed according to his belief that must stop.

Revolt against the lfthdthrds of this world is happening in drips and drabs.. until the deluge when you with that your position in society becomes obsolete.

Imo.

Clinton also deregulated wall street. And fucked girls with epstein.
We dont worship clinton the way you pathetic submissives worship trump.
That's why we don't go around buying bill clinton bibles and cryptocurrency.

Youre in a cult, so nothing will ever change your submission to your cult leader.
