President Trump Signs Controversial Domestic Policy Bill Into Law

After months of negotiations and legislative battles, President Trump has signed a sweeping domestic policy bill into law on July 4. The new legislation, which has faced intense scrutiny from various advocacy groups, including the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), is set to have a significant impact on a wide range of issues.

One of the most contentious provisions of the bill is the deep cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), a crucial support system that helps millions of Americans put food on the table. The more than $100 billion slash to SNAP funding is expected to have devastating consequences for families struggling to make ends meet.

Impact of the Bill on SNAP

The bill includes several major changes to SNAP that are concerning:

  • Massive funding cuts: The bill reduces SNAP funding by over $100 billion.
  • Shifting costs to states: States will now be required to cover a portion of SNAP’s food benefit costs based on their error rate percentage, which could pose challenges for many states.
  • Thrifty Food Plan restrictions: Updates to the Thrifty Food Plan, used to calculate SNAP benefits, are now limited to once every five years and must be cost-neutral, potentially resulting in inadequate benefit levels.
  • Stricter work requirements: The legislation imposes stricter work requirements on able-bodied adult recipients without young children.

These changes are expected to leave many individuals and families without the support they rely on.

Implications for the Food and Farm Bill

The cuts to SNAP also raise concerns about the future of the food and farm bill. The current bill, which was supposed to be reauthorized in 2023, has faced delays and uncertainties, with Congress passing short-term extensions instead of a comprehensive reauthorization.

With the recent changes to SNAP and the fractured coalition of advocates supporting the bill, the prospects of passing a new food and farm bill seem uncertain. The divide between Democrats and Republicans on key issues like SNAP funding could further complicate the process.

The Road Ahead

As discussions continue on the food and farm bill, there are questions about the feasibility of passing a scaled-back version or a “skinny” farm bill. The debates around SNAP cuts and other contentious provisions have created challenges for lawmakers seeking bipartisan support.

The coming months will be critical in determining the fate of the food and farm bill. Advocates are urged to voice their concerns and priorities to their representatives in Congress to ensure that conservation, climate, agriculture research, and robust nutrition programs like SNAP are prioritized in any future legislation.

As the saga of the food and farm bill unfolds, it remains to be seen how lawmakers will navigate the complex landscape of competing interests and priorities. Stay tuned for updates on this evolving story.
