Read @jamesjsample re how Trump admin argues it faces > harm in SNAP $ case than ppl who can’t buy food via @ABC analysis ⚖️🍴 @MindyForMA @Karen_Russell @Jess_Bartholow @JeffWice @GreenhouseLinda @hbottemiller @fractweets @americamag @cheyne_andrew @vaferguson
The President and Administration have already worsened food affordability
They are now set to initiate a #hunger crisis and collapse the food economy by withholding #SNAP benefits 5 million in #CA rely on to eat
@USDA needs to issue full November #SNAP benefits, immediately!
Trump has repeatedly claimed this month that grocery prices are "down" or "way down."
They're up, again.
Today's inflation report shows grocery prices increased from August to September, over the last year, and since he returned to office in January: cnn.com/2025/10/24/politics/…
A reminder that food banks have said a 10% #SNAP cut will “wipe them out”
The #BigUglyBetrayal is more than a 20% cut!

.@AsmSadeElhawary: We have #billionaires in this state, while families fall further behind. What can't the #wealthy pay their fair share? What California are we building? I support this #CaBudget with the understanding that we are continuing conversations on #revenues
.@AsmCRodriguez: #Health4All is a milestone that we cannot walk away from
Even the suggestion that we slash #healthcare for #immigrants who pay #taxes is wrong
We are being hunted and disappeared
We cannot simultaneously validate the Trump narrative that blames our communities

.@senatorsrp’s call for #corporate #accountability is well-documented:
@UCBLaborCenter found 75% of public beneficiaries were in #WorkingFamilies who couldn’t afford their #BasicNeeds due to #PovertyWages insufficient hours and #WageTheft
#FairBudgerNow #SNAPmatters
.@SenatorMenjivar: we are subsidizing large corporations that don’t provide #healthcare, but are ok to break promises to make cuts to community?
This is a moral question: our #Health4All must be in sickness and in health. We must have revenues and not subsidize corporations 🔥
.@senatorsrp on 🔥 at #CaLeg #CaBudget:
I completely reject that the federal administration says we must cut #food and #healthcare #BasicNeeds programs but can find $100M in a week militarize our communities
#FairBudgetNow #HandsOffSNAP
.@RepBrendanBoyle: this bill is the biggest cut to #nutrition assistance in history, while those with the lowest income will actually be #poorer as a result of deep cuts to #food and #healthcare, while #tax benefits flow to the #wealthy
