Exciting new collaborative will bring together state leaders from #Medicaid, DOCs + behavioral health to improve outcomes for those reentering their communities. Big opportunities through recent federal flexibility and waivers for reducing recidivism and improving health equity.

Good news: The stopgap funding bill will ensure that innocent low-income families can continue to get stolen #SNAP benefits restored if they are victimized by EBT card skimming & similar scams. This protection is vital as USDA & states continue work to enhance EBT card security.

The Birthright Citizenship of 2024 Act introduced today is another example of a hateful, xenophobic bill aimed at undermining the well-being of children.

SNAP helps over 42 million people put food on the table—but its future is under threat. The House budget proposes slashing $230B, the largest cut in SNAP’s history. This isn't reform—it's a rollback that would deepen poverty and hunger nationwide.

Nearly a month into the government shutdown, millions of families are paying the price for deliberate policy choices by the Trump Administration and Congress. This is a 🚨manufactured🚨 crisis that’s putting jobs, food, and care at risk.
