The GOP's #FarmBill includes the RESTORE Act to help people with prior drug offenses get food benefits, but cutting $27B from #SNAP is criticized. Chairman Thompson's bipartisan efforts and support for agriculture sectors are noted. Lawmakers express dedication to supporting farmers and ensuring the Farm Bill benefits growers and producers. However, House Republicans' proposed cuts to SNAP face strong opposition for potentially impacting thousands of households' access to nutritious food.
Big week ahead in the House Agriculture Committee, where my colleagues and I will meet to consider the new five-year Farm Bill. I’ll be sharing more throughout the week about this critically important bill for rural Southern Illinois, starting with my interview with @brownfield:
American farmers feed our country & the world. Expanding markets for #agriculture exports is good for farmers in #Ohio & beyond! I’m looking forward to pushing the #FarmBill forward this week to strengthen rural economies & ensure our policies help farmers, not hold them back! https://t.co/V4f7pdT9f3
Absolutely infuriating to see House Republicans try to slash SNAP benefits once again. This is callous and cruel. https://t.co/OdUEFhGer8
