I think it is pretty clear that there has been a lot of hot air and a lot of fiction flying around Washington about what happened in California.

I also plan to introduce legislation, the HAND UP Act, that will ensure SNAP is implemented in a way that measurably improves the employment outcomes of able-bodied Americans.

To see people who blew up this deficit so that the wealthiest people in America could have tax cuts... that makes no sense to me.

I am concerned about proposals to limit this.

We are facing, in this country, also, not just a hunger crisis but a nutrition crisis.

This work requirement has been in place since 1996, and was passed with bipartisan support, including that of Senator Joe Biden.

I appreciate your leadership, and Senator Braun's, with the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health.

Hunger is not a Republican or Democrat issue. It is all of our issue that we have to take on.

The idea that we would be threatening to blow up our credit rating over the school lunch program or over SNAP does not make any sense to me.

we want to make sure that we can have the elements of those energy products, the content of them, made in America.

The Texas blackout is just one example of larger, more frequent, and longer-lasting power outages caused by the growing incidence of extreme weather.

Each and every one of those people are Americans, and they should have the same access to vital programs.

I believe we can solve hunger. I believe that we can take what works, and we have seen a lot of things that are working across the country.

Protecting SNAP and preventing fraud is not a Republican or a Democratic issue, though. I think everyone agrees on that.

The idea that we would be threatening to blow up our credit rating over the school lunch program or over SNAP does not make any sense to me.

I appreciate your leadership, and Senator Braun's, with the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health.

We reduced hunger in the United States by 30 percent, and we did not add a single bureaucrat to the Federal Government to do it.

It is outrageous that people who have drug convictions cannot get SNAP.
