House GOP Passes Bill That Rolls Back Decades of Progress in Ending Hunger in America
Washington, May 22, 2025 — Today’s passage of the House budget bill marks a devastating reversal in the fight against hunger in America. The vote along party lines (215–214) to upend the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by permanently changing its structure and cutting $300 billion over the next decade will take food off the table for millions of families, children, older adults, veterans, and people with disabilities while also harming farmers, grocers, state and local governments, and the overall economy.
