Republicans in Congress watched American farmers lose $30 billion to Trump’s trade war and did nothing.

Yet another way Trump is disrupting American agriculture and raising your grocery prices – ICE raids.

House Agriculture Committee Democrats @houseagdems.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Parents are paying more for groceries and farmers are paying more for diesel and fertilizer. We’re all footing the bill for Trump’s backward economic priorities.

Just another class 1 recall from Secretary Rollins. This is what happens when you DOGE the agency that inspects your food.

Farmers are paying the price for Trump's reckless, illegal war on Iran.

5 million Americans, including over 1.5 million kids, have been kicked off food assistance since Trump signed his Big Ugly Bill. Somewhere in America a kid is going to bed hungry because Republicans decided to fund tax breaks for data centers and big corporations by cutting SNAP.

Trump picked a war with Iran. You're paying for it at the pump.

House Agriculture Committee Democrats @houseagdems.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
Trump is spending money on ballrooms and gold statues while farmers can’t afford fertilizer and families can’t afford groceries. Someone’s priorities are out of whack!

Of course Secretary Rollins with a net worth of $15 million doesn't think $6.50 for a pound of ground beef is that bad. Trump and Rollins are so out of touch with American farmers and families.

The Trump administration hasn't been putting America first.

Republicans wouldn't even meet their own SNAP work requirement of 80 hours per month.

Republicans don't want to work anymore.

Trump has forced Minnesota farmers to spend $1,497 more to fill up their farm fuel tanks.

No parent should have to choose between feeding themselves and feeding their children.

Tump blew up the ag economy with tariffs and is kicking farmers while they’re down with his war. Is he lowering prices? No. He’s putting up wallpaper.

SNAP means more than food assistance. It is an economic engine that supports 400,000 agriculture jobs and generates $1.50 in economic activity for every dollar spent. Republicans cut it by $187 billion anyway.

In case you missed it, Trump broke his own record for diesel prices twice in one week! Congrats to Trump for making life harder for American farmers 👏

If you noticed higher gas prices while you were enjoying the long weekend, it's not just you. Gas prices hit a record high for Labor Day this year thanks to Trump and his war on Iran. apnews.com/article/labor-day-record…

Rural communities grow the food that feeds our country, yet they face some of the highest rates of hunger.

Parents all over America are struggling to feed their kids thanks to Trump and Republicans’ $187 billion SNAP cut. One West Virginian parent said they “never thought we would be in a world where it was impossible to keep your kids fed when you work.”

Happy Labor Day! We’re celebrating the hardworking farmers, farm workers and rural communities who feed our nation. From sunrise to sunset, America's agricultural workers keep food on our tables and our economy strong. Thank you for all you do!

From roundtables to farm tours, our members prioritized farm country this summer. Take a look at how House Ag Dems spent August recess supporting our American farmers and ranchers!

A parent in Alabama said it would break their budget if their school didn’t cover their kids' breakfast and lunch five days a week. This is the cruel reality for millions in our country due to Republicans’ SNAP cuts.

No one in America should ever have to worry about feeding their children.

When Republicans cut $187 billion from SNAP, they made a deliberate choice to let American children go hungry. Today, over 1.5 million kids have been kicked off food assistance.

House Agriculture Committee Democrats @houseagdems.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
Trump and Rollins’ USDA reorganization pushed out experienced staff who process farm loans, disburse disaster aid and answer farmers' calls – making it harder for rural communities to access to the programs they need.

House Agriculture Committee Democrats @houseagdems.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
SNAP doesn’t just help seniors, veterans and families afford groceries. It supports our entire food system. Every $1 in SNAP benefits generates $1.50 in economic activity, helping to support jobs in our rural communities and on farms.

Secretary Rollins is proud that she has taken food assistance away from nearly 5 million Americans.

Trump keeps claiming it’s the “Golden Age” of agriculture, but his decisions keep hurting American farmers.

House Agriculture Committee Democrats @houseagdems.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
The United States lost 15,000 last year. But Republicans continue ignoring what’s actually hurting farmers – tariffs, lost markets, the USDA reorganization and higher costs caused by Trump’s illegal Iran war.

70,000 Americans could die unnecessarily because Republicans cut $187 billion from SNAP to fund tax breaks for billionaires. They knew the cost of cutting food assistance. They voted yes anyway.

USDA cut staff who process farm loans and disaster aid. Republicans let it happen because the only American they put first is Donald Trump. iowacapitaldispatch.com/2026/07/01/…

It’s hard to live a long, healthy life when you can’t afford to eat. Republicans know this but decided to cut SNAP by $187 billion anyway. Now, nearly 5 million Americans, including 1.5 million kids, have been kicked off their food assistance.

Pretty sure you did cut SNAP and Medicaid.

Just some things Secretary Rollins likes to lie about.

More than 1-in-4 farmers and ranchers get health insurance through the ACA marketplace. Republicans let ACA tax credits expire and now premiums in rural communities are set to rise by an average of 90%.

Jonathon Flemming's SNAP benefits were ripped away from him 10 months ago, but he can't do his job as a handyman due to a lymphatic disease that causes leg ulcers. These are real people that Trump is kicking off SNAP.

The Trump administration’s staffing cuts to the essential federal agencies that keep our communities safe have weakened our response to wildfires. The Wildfire Response and Readiness Act protects firefighters and staff and keeps key wildfire and forestry research facilities open and running.

House Agriculture Committee Democrats @houseagdems.bsky.social · 06/08/2026
Trump’s illegal Iran war has skyrocketed fertilizer and diesel costs. All while farmers are already being hammered by Trump’s tariffs. This is what “pro-farmer” looks like to Trump.

Nearly 5 million Americans have already been kicked off SNAP thanks to Trump, Rollins and their collaborators in Congress.

Complete and utter cruelty.

Rural communities are fighting to keep hospitals open after Republicans cut Medicaid by nearly $1 trillion. Now, nearly 700 rural hospitals are at risk of closure. Congressional Republicans don’t care about our rural communities.

The Farm and Family Relief Act is the aid farmers need thanks to Trump's tariffs and helps make groceries affordable for families facing. Meanwhile, Trump and Republicans want to spend your tax dollars on illegal wars and painting ballrooms and reflecting pools.

The farmers hurt by Trump’s tariffs would like to have a word.

Republicans promised kids wouldn't lose a nickel of their SNAP benefits. Today, more than 1.5 million kids have been kicked off their benefits entirely.

American families have had to spend over $3,500 more since President Trump took office last year.
