Trump's Tax Bill Cuts SNAP Benefits, Threatens Food Security | JQJO

The US House passed President Trump's $4.5 trillion tax bill, including $1.2 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. This threatens food security for millions, especially in Oregon, where over 100,000 could lose benefits immediately. The bill reduces a typical family's food budget by $160 monthly and eliminates free school meals in Oregon. While a last-minute change delays cost sharing for high-error-rate states like Oregon, the state faces an estimated $425 million in new yearly costs starting in 2028. The bill awaits presidential signature.
