This #SNAP rule goes against the congressional intent of the 2018 Farm Bill, which passed in a strong bipartisan vote. I spoke out against it the day it was released: https://t.co/OFIDHurwRF — PolitiTweet.org

In March I joined Ag Ranking Member @SenStabenow in a strong BIPARTISAN letter opposing this rule when 1st proposed. More than 100k Americans submitted comments in the FedRegister. But the Admin didn’t listen & doesn’t care what harm they’re causing. https://t.co/QTlCaTxmC0 — PolitiTweet.org

This #SNAP final rule not only will take food from those who need it most, but make the program less responsive in times of sharp economic decline such as a recession. We must be prepared to act swiftly in times of dire need. This rule prevents that. — PolitiTweet.org
