The House Ag Committee spent all day and night voting on President Trump’s tax cut bill, also known as the “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” specifically marking up language tied to SNAP and farm security.
The One Big, Beautiful Bill has PASSED out of our committee:

✅ Invests in our hardworking farmers

Tonight, they voted 29-25 to advance legislation that cuts $300 billion in food aid spending, according to Politico.
The vote now goes to the House Budget Committee before a full floor vote.
Chair GT Thompson explained the GOP strategy.
“More specifically, our reconciliation instructions provide the opportunity to restore integrity to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP, to make sure that this essential program works for the most vulnerable and functions as Congress as it is intended. Additionally, it allows for vital investment with our Farm Bill programs addressing immediate needs for farmers, ranchers, and rural communities. By putting the farm back in the Farm Bill, Congress will be better able to deliver a full, long-term reauthorization of a highly effective Farm Bill.
