  1. McGarvey Calls out Trump Admin for Withholding SNAP, Urges Use of Contingency Funds

    “When Republicans passed H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, they voted to eliminate $187 billion from the SNAP program and imposes undue barriers to farmers in the Ag industry. The reluctance of this Administration to step in and fund the program builds upon previous efforts at weakening SNAP and other federal nutrition assistance programs.”

2 rows here have the same law, recipient, purpose and amount as another row. The Congressional Record may print one item more than once. The count and the total include each row.

Read from the lists Congress printed for 4 laws. An item requested by several members appears under each of them, so sums across members count such an item more than once. A requester is tied to a member only when exactly one member serving in that chamber on that day has the printed name.
