H.R. 1 gutted Medicaid and the ACA, all to give billionaires and big corporations a tax cut. Now, health costs are skyrocketing and families are skipping meals and cutting back to afford care. 1 in 10 ACA enrollees have dropped coverage bc they can’t afford it anymore. #HealthcareHeist

We read the label on the #FarmBill passed by the House (aka the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026). SNAP restored: $0. New subsidies for large agribusiness: $62 billion. $187B in cuts to food assistance, locked into law. Meanwhile, families are already struggling.
A mock up of a food Nutrition Facts label, titled “Farm, Food and National Security Act of 2026,” listing several items like “SNAP restored,” “families protected,” and “Children kept in school meals.” Each of them list $0 in the “% daily value” column. Below that is a section titled “Also contains,” listing “New subsidies for large agribusiness - $62 billion” and “SNAP cuts locked into law - $187 billion.” Smaller text reads “% daily values based on a Congress that promised to lower costs for families. Does not contain relief for working families, seniors, people with disabilities, or children. May cause increased hunger, state budget strain, and deepened economic hardship. All to fund tax breaks for the wealthy.”Large text reads “The Farm, Food, and National Security Act fails to restore a single dollar of the largest SNAP cuts in history. Congress has a chance to act.
