What happened
The Urban Institute and Center for American Progress analyzed the economic impact of policy cuts to food assistance. The analysis found that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, provisions of Donald Trump and the GOP, is causing millions of Americans to lose food assistance and face smaller grocery budgets. The impact is expected to be especially pronounced locally.
Why it matters
The legislation is projected to reduce federal SNAP spending by $186 billion over the next decade. Nationally, this change is expected to affect 22.3 million families, with 5.3 million families potentially losing at least $25 a month.
