John, the House Committee on Agriculture just concluded our markup of the Republican reconciliation bill.

This markup went on for two days, John. Democrats offered many crucial amendments, including several of my own, to remove cruel and unnecessary changes to nutrition programs in this country.

I sat gavel to gavel and did not leave during the nearly 16-hour markup. The same can’t be said for my Republican colleagues, who didn’t even bother to show up for most of the hearing.

Even with legislation that sought to cut $313 billion in SNAP funding, the largest cut to food assistance in American history, Republicans couldn’t even show up to defend their position. I remain committed to protecting SNAP and nutrition programs that millions of Americans rely upon.

The GOP legislation proposes cuts to programs like Meals on Wheels, SNAP, and more. It even includes a provision that lowers the age of a minor from 18 to 7 — so once a child turns 7, their parents are kicked off SNAP if they do not meet work requirements. That is unacceptable.

But what’s even worse, John, these cuts do not pay down the debt in our country. No — they are going toward tax cuts for billionaires.

Ever since I was elected to Congress, I have worked to keep nutrition programs fortified to make sure every family has access to nutritious meals.

The fight continues, and I am hoping you can chip in a few dollars to help me keep up the work defending nutritional programs and more. [[link removed]]
