Ahead of Independence Day, Senate Republicans rushed to pass Trump’s “big, beautiful bill”—slashing billions from SNAP, imposing time limits, restricting eligibility, and shifting unsustainable costs to states.

It takes food from millions. It’s devastating.

MAZON Livid and Heartbroken by Largest Cuts to SNAP in History

Republicans just passed the largest cuts to SNAP in history, stripping food from millions including children, seniors, veterans, single mothers, and so many others.
