US Senate’s “Big Beautiful Bill” axes SNAP nutrition...
The US’ largest anti-hunger program faces “unprecedented” cuts that threaten the nutrition security of lower-income families and immigrants. The Senate passed the Republicans’ “Big Beautiful Bill” without a single Democratic vote and rejected all proposed amendments from the minority party. The bill, sent back to House, was passed by 218 to 214 votes and now awaits President Donald Trump’s signature today on Independence Day.The bill would eliminate nutrition education programs, tighten SNAP (food stamp) eligibility, and shift a share of the program’s costs to the individual states — jeopardizing access for millions. Alongside deep cuts to Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, and hospital funding, the bill slashes public services to help finance significant tax breaks for the wealthy.
