Congressional Republicans – the very same politicians who who passed billions and billions in tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy – now say we have to cut nutrition support for families in need.
Attacking SNAP isn't a budget solution. It's just cruel. #DefendSNAP
Republicans are holding the debt ceiling hostage to cut SNAP and make it harder for Americans to feed their families.
Forcing families to go hungry isn't a budget solution; it's just cruel. #DefendSNAP
Republicans racked up $7.8 trillion in debt under Trump and passed outrageous tax giveaways for the ultra-rich.
Now, they're pushing cuts to nutrition assistance for hungry families, saying we 'can't afford' to help Americans feed their kids. It's outrageous.

If Republicans actually wanted to help families succeed, they'd support raising the minimum wage, making child care more affordable, and extending the Child Tax Credit. But they don't.
Cutting SNAP just punishes struggling families. #DefendSNAP
We heard someone was passing around a cheat sheet in class and took the opportunity to grade it. Suffice it to say... it contained a lot of red lines. #DefendSNAP
Last time Republicans were in power they gave away billions of dollars in tax cuts to the wealthy. Now they want to cut nutrition support for families in need. I will fight every step of the way to #DefendSNAP !
In the wealthiest nation on earth, no family should have to go hungry. That shouldn't be controversial. #DefendSNAP

1 in 4 kids across New Mexico experience food insecurity. No child should ever go hungry – that's why in Congress, I’m fighting to address childhood hunger, expand school meal programs, and #DefendSNAP from extremist attacks. Our families and kids depend on these programs!
SNAP has been a red line for House Agriculture Committee Democrats since we began negotiating the #FarmBill over two years ago.
The latest Republican ploy is to cut nearly $30 billion in future SNAP benefits through changes to the Thrifty Food Plan.
I reject this proposal outright. #DefendSNAP

THANK YOU to anti-hunger champions from Feeding America, @FRACtweets & other groups from across the country going door-to-door on Capitol Hill telling lawmakers to #DefendSNAP at #HungerPC23 . So grateful for our team fighting to #EndHungerNow .
The same Republican politicians who passed billions and billions in tax cuts for the wealthy are now calling for cuts to nutrition support for families in need.
Give me a break. #DefendSNAP
Amazing visit to @WSCAH—food is a human right & we need to treat those in need with dignity! Talking with providers, advocates & people experiencing food insecurity about how important it is to #DefendSNAP and support programs that empower & uplift local efforts to end hunger.
Now more than ever, we need to #DefendSNAP and ensure this critical program is sustainable for years to come.
I'm grateful to everyone who attended my SNAP forum last week, and I look forward to bringing your personal stories with me to the policymaking table.
1 in 11 workers in Ohio can put food on the table thanks to SNAP.
Now is not the time to make cuts to one of the most important tools we have to increase food and nutrition security in this country.
I will always #DefendSNAP .
SNAP already has work requirements and nearly all SNAP recipients who can work-- do work.
Adding additional, punitive work requirements to the program is unnecessary and creates more burdens. #DefendSNAP
The same politicians who passed billions in tax cuts for the wealthy now want to force families in need of a helping hand to go hungry. As a successful businessman, I’m fighting to ensure the ultra wealthy pay their fair share and #DefendSNAP so Americans can feed their families.
1 in 10 workers can put food on the table thanks to SNAP. Congressional Republicans propose making it harder for these workers to do that. That’s why I’m fighting to #DefendSNAP
