Arizona recorded the largest drop in enrollment after the bill became law. The legislation tightened eligibility rules for food assistance and increased state screening requirements. State data through May shows that more than 450,000 Arizonans have come off Snap, cutting overall participation within the state in half.
According to the CBPP analysis, children make up a significant portion of those losing benefits, with more than 1 million children across the 19 states studied no longer receiving Snap assistance.
In Louisiana, nearly one in four children receiving Snap benefits lost assistance. Massachusetts and Texas each saw close to one-fifth of children enrolled in the program removed from Snap.
And further below, the cause for the suffering of children:
The report says the steep decline in participation is likely tied in large part to the 2025 Republican reconciliation law, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which shifted a substantial share of Snap benefit costs to states based on their payment error rates.
The “Pro Life” party
“Protect the children” and whatnot
They aren’t pro life, just pro birth
Anti-choice, anti-freedom.
The old joke is the moment the kid pops out, they’re on their own. Should’ve been born independently wealthy.
I hope the parents get them boots with straps.
They aren’t pro birth either. They are for women in the kitchen and bedroom only.
They like to fuck kids. Let them eat jizz!
SNAP is a subsidy to the poor and to farmers.
Insofar as it benefits farmers, it’s obviously a rural benefit, and it’s also advantageous to rural areas on the poor front.

One in seven rural households relies on SNAP, compared to one in eight in metropolitan areas.
If were a rural Republican voter and the “rural party” had just gotten a trifecta and promptly proceeded to do this — like, this is theoretically as good as it gets — I’d probably be a little grouchy.
There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.
Hey that’s from that book, Harry Potter
If we can’t even feed the children, how are we worthy as a nation?
You’re not.
Not you, personally, but 'Murica is a fucking disaster and should serve as a warning to the rest of the world

It does not currently deserve it, imo, but help your brothers, friends and neighbors out, my guy.

If the Pedo Party can’t fuck kids, they’ll starve them. Sounds on brand for those sickos.
food chain keeping some poor neighborhoods from being food deserts are closing down in my city. operator said when the snap cuts hit so did their monthly (no duh) and they can’t cover monthly costs.
