The Trump Administration Has Changed Almost Every Aspect of Food Stamps

Excellent reporting here on the Trump administration’s successful assault on the food stamp program, undertaken as the ranks of hungry Americans desperate for assistance include more and more “working families who cannot keep up with the cost of living and inflation.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/u...

Trump has changed almost every aspect of the food stamp program, including changes to who is eligible, how much they receive, and what the stamps can be used for, resulting in the program helping 3 million fewer people. I gifted this so you can read it. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/u...

Trump is not just making SNAP more burdensome, he is also preventing willing states from shifting some of that burden away from clients by limiting the use of existing tools like automatic renewals. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/u...

In a major article on the Food Stamp program the NYT couldn't be bothered to tell readers that the program costs less than 1.4% of the federal budget or about one-fifth of the INCREASE in military spending Trump is requesting www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/u...

This is a boon to the black market and those who seek to exploit and punish poor people for being poor.

"Ms. D’Amato noted a shift in the “face of hunger.” Today, she said, visitors are often working families who cannot keep up with the cost of living & inflation. “Federal policy is really driving this... adding that changes to SNAP would only push more hungry people to charities and food pantries."

But they've thrown 3 million off Food Stamps to save far less than that. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/u...

Why feed the poor when we can just EAT THE RICH.

Over the last year, Pres. Trump has gutted social services proven to keep communities safe — including SNAP. But this type of callousness is nothing new for folks impacted by the criminal legal system. For them, hunger has long been used as punishment.🧵

All the people pushing for these onerous restrictions call themselves devout Christians www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/u...

The Bozo Fascist's bureaucratically complex slashing of food stamps makes Reagan's straightforward cuts look mild by comparison. In both cases, though, cruelty is the point. We ought to improve these programs to make sure poor people receive MORE and BETTER food. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/u...

If you think all this is good and will help people then you should be forced to eat/grocery shop with $30 given and only an extra $100 of your own money (most ppl on SNAP don't even have that extra $100). Then you should be forced to buy and eat whatever they tell you you're allowed to eat.
