"we can't just use that to tell us everything that we need to know about a recipient of SNAP benefits."

"this proposed rule does just that. It reduces benefits by singling out a group that USDA assumes is less deserving."

"The rhetorical framing of these proposals, and the proposals themselves, seek to punish struggling Americans with harsh penalties for conditions beyond their control."
