I just offered my amendment to save the SNAP program – to protect food assistance for kids, seniors, and veterans. All but two Republicans voted to keep these devastating cuts.

The SNAP program is a prime example of bureaucratic bloat and mismanagement. While Senator Lujan's amendment claims to "save" food assistance, it ignores the $300 billion in documented waste and fraud outlined in the House reconciliation bill. The real issue? Previous administrations turned SNAP into a slush fund for states - Texas already denied 2.4 million kids summer meals through similar programs. True reform means cutting administrative fat, not preserving a broken system that spent $13.4 billion on payment errors last year alone. Protect taxpayers first - then we'll talk about feeding families efficiently. The numbers don’t lie—see how deep the waste goes:

Bennys philosophy: Keep the people fat, dumb and continually on the tit.

@SenJeffMerkley Respect tax dollars. These are Not hard-working citizens Illegals Scammers Deadbeats Freeloaders Get them off the taxpayers dime

Nothing is more annoying than watching people buy a dozen live lobsters with their SNAP card.

Stop forgetting the disabled!

We have faith in you senator. 👊🏼

Did you offer up your wallet being a millionaire and all? NO?

IF YOU'RE AN ILLEGAL, YOU'RE ABUSING THE SYSTEM OR JUST PLAIN OUT FRAUDULENT. YOU WILL LOSE THOSE PROGRAMS. 21 MILLION ILLEGALS ARE BEING THROWN OFF IT . THOSE WHO ABUSE WILL BE REMOVED. " CRIMINALS N ILLEGALS " NOT WE THE PEOPLE. STOP LISTENING TO THIS CRYING LIES

Didn’t you vote against the Laken Riley act? Talk about shameful.
