Republicans keep defending their SNAP cuts as "reducing fraud, waste, and abuse."
Which category does a hungry child fall under?
Are they waste? Are they fraud? Or are they abuse?

Donald Trump has no problem deporting U.S. citizens.
But if you’re related to El Chapo, then Donald Trump says come right in!
Republicans love to talk tough about border security, but where are they now? It's a total disgrace.
If Trump's tariffs are causing prices to go up at no fault of the retailer, consumers deserve to know
My bill with @raskin.house.gov will require large retailers to display how much tariffs are contributing to the prices of their products
These tariffs are just a tax hike on consumers
If a retailer as big as Walmart can’t escape the pain of tariffs, what chance does a small business have?
Their customers are inevitably going to see prices rise.
Donald Trump’s tariffs are nothing more than a tax hike on consumers.
Trump’s trade war strikes again.
Walmart has just announced it will raise prices across America due to Trump's tariffs.
His tariff chaos is eating away at retailers, restaurants, small businesses, and estimated to cost families thousands each year.
Donald Trump has once again launched an unprecedented attack on America’s working families.
Donald Trump and Secretary McMahon are trying to raise monthly student loan payments.
And Republicans in Congress are trying to push massive cuts to federal student aid.
The Republicans’ SAVE Act reads like a how-to guide for voter suppression.
It will not pass the United States Senate. Period
Since Trump became president, nobody seems to have benefited more from Middle East deals than him:
Golf courses by the beach
Hotels in Dubai
And now a $400M private jet from Qatar
This is exactly why I issued a hold on all political DOJ nominees until we get answers.
Equinor’s Empire Wind is a major offshore wind project in NY
But Trump suddenly issued a stop work order without justification
Good jobs
Billions spent
All on hold
Trump claims to want energy dominance but this is all just because of a gripe he has about offshore wind and his Scotland golf course
The Republican bill will raise taxes on American energy:
Higher electricity bills
Hundreds of thousands of jobs erased
China forever getting the better of America in the race for clean energy dominance
They are hurting the middle class just to lower taxes for the ultra-rich
There is nothing to celebrate about Republicans’ "Big Beautiful Bill" unless you are a billionaire, or an oil company.
It’s nothing more than a big fat grift.
Three years ago, 10 innocent, beautiful lives were ripped away from us in a racist mass shooting at the Tops supermarket on Buffalo’s East Side.
Our hearts break for the victims, their families. We stand with the community as it continues to heal. We must, must keep working to end gun violence.
House Republicans want to name their tax bill: "Big, beautiful bill"
There's nothing “beautiful” about the biggest cuts to Medicaid in American history, about cutting the largest anti-hunger program by $300B+, or about forcing kids to go hungry.
I’m heading to the floor of the U.S. Senate right now to announce that I’m placing a hold on all political DOJ appointments until we get answers on Trump's corrupt Qatari plane deal. Tune in.
Trump lectures Americans about putting up with higher prices, prices he himself triggered
And then he’s accepting a $400 million private jet from the Qatari Royal Family
His shameless self-enrichment is without equal in American history
This is a bribe and a national security betrayal
This is just like what he tried in 2020. Let’s see if prices actually come down.
Senate Democrats stood up to Big Pharma and actually fought for families.

Republicans’ Mother’s Day gift idea:
Ripping healthcare away from millions of mothers, babies, and families.
thehill.com/policy/healt...
Showing my mom pictures of her great-grandchildren. She’ll turn 97 on D-Day, God willing. I owe her everything. #MothersDay
Nothing says 'America First' like Air Force One, brought to you by Qatar. It’s not just bribery, it’s premium foreign influence with extra legroom.
There was a new outage at Newark airport this morning—Enough.
Secretary Duffy needs to put Newark first in line to receive critically-needed fixes and tech so Air Traffic Control can function safely like it should.
Newark cannot wait.
