Today, House Agriculture Committee Ranking Member Angie Craig (MN-02) released the below statement following the Trump administration asking the Supreme Court for permission to cut SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans.
“The Trump administration continues its push to take food away from millions of Americans. Instead of helping hungry seniors and children, President Trump and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins spent weeks illegally withholding food assistance from hungry Americans. Now, they are again asking the Supreme Court to stop states from feeding hungry residents. The Trump administration would rather preserve its own sense of power than preserve the lives and wellbeing of hungry Americans. Their priorities are clear. They simply do not care about America’s hungry children, veterans, seniors or people with disabilities.”
