US Senate’s “Big Beautiful Bill” axes SNAP nutrition education and restricts access

The US’ largest anti-hunger program faces “unprecedented” cuts that threaten the nutrition security of lower-income families and immigrants. The Senate passed the Republicans’ “Big Beautiful Bill” without a single Democratic vote and rejected all proposed amendments from the minority party.
