"Senate Republicans’ plan to force states to share the cost of the country’s largest nutrition program to pay for their policy megabill has been halted by the chamber’s rules.

The Senate parliamentarian determined that the cost-sharing plan would violate the so-called Byrd Rule, which limits what can be included in the reconciliation process, and would be subject to a 60-vote filibuster threshold..."

Senate parliamentarian strikes key SNAP spending cuts from GOP megabill
by Alexander Bolton - 06/21/25 9:31 AM ET

Trump remains undeterred in his plans to shift supplemental food assistance from the poor to the rich. He can't do enough for the wealthiest families. A two-doll limit for everyone else.

Mary Austin VOTED 4 HARRIS!

Go get 'em Bernie! 👏🏼

25% of Mike Johnson's constituents under 65 are on #medicaid, and 20% of households are on #SNAP according to the article in the link.

I'm sure Bernie will have LOTS to talk about. And however red it is there, Republicans have been showing up to Bernie's events in other places!

Screengrab from Bernie Sanders on his Ig "I am now heading to Shreveport, Louisiana, the home of Speaker Mike Johnson. He is the architect of Trump's "big beautiful bill," the most destructive piece of legislation in modern history. And his constituents need to know that."

"polls will get different results depending on how questions are framed, but the pattern is clear: extending the 2017 tax cuts gets a middling response, and cutting #Medicaid and #SNAP is about the worst thing you can suggest to voters."

"As Republican senators consider President Donald Trump’s big bill that could slash federal spending and extend tax cuts, a new survey shows most U.S. adults don’t think the government is overspending on the programs the GOP has focused on cutting, like Medicaid and food stamps."

Demand your #Senator reject #Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” before it guts #Medicaid, destroys #SNAP, and hands the wealthy a tax giveaway we all can’t afford. click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u

click.actionnetwork.orgTell Your Senators: Oppose Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill"The so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” is anything but. This sweeping MAGA legislation would gut Medicaid, slash food assistance, strip funding from Planned Parenthood, and hand billions in tax breaks to billionaires — all while ballooning the national debt by nearly $4 trillion. It passed the House by a single vote. Now it’s headed to the Senate and we have the opportunity to stop it cold. If we flood the Senate with opposition now, we can push enough Senators to vote NO on this dangerous bill. Take action: Click ‘start writing’ to send a letter to your Senators demanding they reject the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

"At a time when the country is in dire need of empathy, unity, and healing, MAGA Republicans will return to D.C. this week to pick up where they left off in their reconciliation debate wrangling: seeking to pass a bill that includes the most monstrous transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class to the uber-rich in recent history."

"The horrifying assassination of Minnesota state legislator Mellisa Hortman and her husband Mark, and the attempted assassination of state senator John Hoffman and his wife on Saturday followed a week in which the full magnitude of Donald Trump’s violence, cruelty, chaos, and insatiable quest to destroy American democracy as we knew it were on full view."

This is a thorough summary about proposed SNAP changes. I don’t know how accurate it is because I’m not reading that bill, but they want to eliminate the work requirements for homeless people and raising them to age 64. And for some strange reason they’re picking on Cuban people.

Mary Austin VOTED 4 HARRIS!

I saw this interview with Never Trumper Sarah Longwell on TV this morning at the gym. I know it's maddening to hear from Trump voters who are starting to find out what they voted for, but they're getting it.

Spare a thought for Saint Sarah having to sit there in focus groups and listen to all this stuff without screaming. She's been doing it for years, I don't know how.

Leopards are out in force.
