When SNAP participation declines, families lose access to food, communities lose federal dollars, and local economies suffer. Since H.R.1 passed, 4.5M people across the US, including 32,000 Nebraskans, have lost SNAP. Call Congress today: ujoin.co/campaigns/43...

Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed its version of the Farm Bill. This version does nothing to restore benefits to the 10,000 Nebraskans who have lost their food assistance since H.R. 1. Tell Congress that we need a better Farm Bill for Nebraska: neappl.es/farmbill26

Nebraska Appleseed @neappleseed.org · 30/04/2026

The House took a deeply worrisome step by passing a resolution allowing Congress to start a budget reconciliation process to provide an additional $70B or more to ICE & CBP for 3 years. This allows Congress to bypass the normal budget process & approve legislation w/ a simple majority vote.
