The Secretary of Agriculture doesn't know how much money American farmers lost last year.

[House Agriculture Committee Democrats @HouseAgDems]

The Big Ugly Bill has already taken food assistance away from nearly 5 million Americans. For families with kids, losing SNAP can also mean losing automatic eligibility for free school meals, meaning kids are going hungry at school and at home. https://t.co/W9k3oULZFv

Here’s what to know about cyclospora.

[House Agriculture Committee Democrats @HouseAgDems]

USDA officials bet that thousands of employees would quit after they were told to uproot their lives and relocate or risk losing their jobs. Farmers rely on USDA to maintain their competitive advantage.

Trump does not care. https://t.co/jaCe3x3OOy

[House Agriculture Committee Democrats @HouseAgDems]

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill cut food assistance and stiffed states, forcing them to make up the difference. Missouri is on the hook for $150 million next year alone because Trump would rather pay for reflecting pool paint than food for kids, seniors and veterans.

[House Agriculture Committee Democrats @HouseAgDems]

Farmers are paying more to repair their tractors today because of this admin's tariffs on steel. Farmers are paying more for fertilizer because of this admin's war in the Middle East. Farmers are paying more to service their debt because of this admin's inflationary policies.

[House Agriculture Committee Democrats @HouseAgDems]

Rural hospitals are closing left and right, and it will only worsen because of Republican attacks on health care.

Closing rural health clinics and making health care more expensive for farmers — that's the Republican agenda for rural America.

[House Agriculture Committee Democrats @HouseAgDems]

While Trump spends billions on his war on Iran, Minnesota is stuck with a $250 million bill for food assistance he cut. 18,000 Minnesotans have already lost benefits.

Kids, seniors and veterans are paying the price.

[House Agriculture Committee Democrats @HouseAgDems]

Secretary Rollins refuses to tell the truth even when it’s obvious: Trump’s war with Iran is bad for farmers.

[House Agriculture Committee Democrats @HouseAgDems]

Thanks to the Big Ugly Bill, nearly 5 million people have been kicked off SNAP. Nearly 1 million of those who had their food taken away are children at risk of losing free school meals.

This is not what America stands for.

.@SecRollins' reorganization isn't about moving services closer to farmers. It's about gutting USDA.

They already forced out 20,000 employees, and new documents show that they plan to push out thousands more, leaving farmers with less support.

[Ways and Means Democrats @WaysMeansCmte]

The average taxpayer spent $36 a year on USAID.

That same taxpayer spends $670 a year on corporate subsidies.

But sure, Republicans found that the problem was with the agency that was keeping children alive.

[Congressman Eugene Vindman @RepVindman]

After @GovernorVA and I pushed for action, @USDA issued a disaster declaration for Virginia communities impacted by devastating crop losses. 

Virginia farmers have waited long enough for relief, and this declaration is an important step forward. 

As the only Virginian on the House Agriculture Committee, I'll keep fighting for our farmers.

In the past week we’ve had a number of power outages in the Cleveland area, which meant many people had to throw out food. If you rely on SNAP benefits and lost power for more than 4 hours, you are eligible to receive replacement benefits to purchase new food.

Signal Cleveland has a great explainer on how to receive replacement benefits after a power outage.

We're handing out some red cards.

[House Agriculture Committee Democrats @HouseAgDems]

A former police officer and her veteran husband survived homelessness, a heart attack, a stroke and living out of their car. They finally had stability.

Then Republicans' One Big Beautiful Bill cut their food assistance by 92%.

[House Agriculture Committee Democrats @HouseAgDems]

Trump and Republicans are destroying our nation’s most effective food assistance programs. Millions will go hungry as a result.

One year ago today, Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill. Since then: nearly 5 million people lost SNAP benefits, 8 million lost health insurance, and your July 4th grocery bill is up 20%. Beautiful. https://t.co/r2pcvRLYxX

[House Agriculture Committee Democrats @HouseAgDems]

This Fourth of July, your BBQ costs more and nearly 5 million Americans were kicked off SNAP — all so Republicans could give corporations a tax break.

Happy Independence Day from the One Big Beautiful Bill. 🇺🇸

[House Agriculture Committee Democrats @HouseAgDems]

One year ago, Trump signed the One Big Beautiful bill.

So, let's check in.

[House Agriculture Committee Democrats @HouseAgDems]

USDA wants to cut rural broadband funding, but 17% of rural Americans still don't have minimum broadband speeds.

Secretary Rollins doesn’t care about rural America.
