“allowing our friends, family, and neighbors to go hungry in the United States of America is a policy decision, a choice--a choice--made by Donald Trump. At a time when food prices are at an alltime high, fuel prices are up because of President Trump's reckless war in Iran, and tariffs have increased the cost of living across the board, American families are being squeezed all across America, and this resolution before us today does nothing to fix this. Instead of working to address the affordability crisis and help Americans across the country struggling to afford their bills, what have Republicans done? Cut $187 billion from the best tool America has to address hunger. Mr. President, 41.2 million Americans rely on SNAP to put food on their family's table, and 40 percent of recipients are kids. It is critical that Congress reverse these cuts. I urge my colleagues to join me in that mission and simply vote yes on this amendment.”
