An analysis published Wednesday by the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities found that millions of low-income Americans have stopped participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program ever since President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law last year.

According to CBPP’s analysis, SNAP participation declined by 6% between July 2025 and December 2025, with 2.5 million fewer Americans receiving benefits.

        And It’s not like democrats have been doing much to seem like they even want power.

        They get to fundraise more easily and don’t need to work to pass anything! Win win for them
