House Agriculture Committee Democrats

Official Bluesky account of the U.S. House Agriculture Committee Democrats, led by Ranking Member Angie Craig. #DefendSNAP #FarmBill Website:
Gas prices are increasing again thanks to Trump’s illegal war with Iran.
The letter of the law is clear: Congressional approval is needed to implement the USDA reorganization.
Dee McDonald is a cancer survivor who weighs 69 pounds and raises her three teenage grandsons. She's had to skip meals because Trump cut off her SNAP benefits. These are real families that Trump is kicking off SNAP.
59% of rural counties have no maternity care. Republicans' answer? Let the ACA tax credits that millions of Americans rely on expire.
Slapping Canada with 50% tariffs does not put out wildfires. It does not lower costs. What it does is punish the same Canadian crews who just helped save 15 Minnesota kids, and stick American families with the bill.
Trump said he loves farmers — then he turned around and canceled programs that help them. First-generation farmers like Lawrencia Rogers feel betrayed. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/11/iowa-farming-trump-cuts-usda
Nearly 5 million Americans. 1.5 million kids. This is who Trump and House Agriculture Republicans have hurt with cuts to food assistance. They lied when they said no one would be kicked off SNAP by their cuts.
Every American should be able to afford to put food on their tables.
Trump's war with Iran has caused gas prices to skyrocket. Americans have paid $56 billion more, around $477 per household, to fill up their tanks.
Trump and House Republicans cut SNAP by $187 billion in the Big Ugly Bill last year. Since then, 4.7 million Americans — including an estimated 1.5 million CHILDREN — have been kicked off food assistance. Now, rumor is that Trump and GOP are coming back for more. Hell no.
Trump’s Big Ugly Bill cut food assistance and stiffed states, forcing them to make up the difference. Missouri is on the hook for $150 million next year alone because Trump would rather pay for reflecting pool paint than food for kids, seniors and veterans.
While Trump spends billions on his war on Iran, Minnesota is stuck with a $250 million bill for food assistance he cut. 18,000 Minnesotans have already lost benefits. Kids, seniors and veterans are paying the price.
Secretary Rollins refuses to tell the truth even when it’s obvious: Trump’s war with Iran is bad for farmers.
Secretary Rollins' reorganization isn't about moving services closer to farmers. It's about gutting USDA. They already forced out 20,000 employees, and new documents show that they plan to push out thousands more, leaving farmers with less support.
A former police officer and her veteran husband survived homelessness, a heart attack, a stroke and living out of their car. They finally had stability. Then Republicans' One Big Beautiful Bill cut their food assistance by 92%.
One year ago, Trump signed the One Big Beautiful bill. So, let's check in.
Americans will pay more for their July Fourth cookouts after being stuck with Trump's One Big Beautiful BBQ Bill.
JUST IN: AT LEAST 4.7 MILLION AMERICANS KICKED OFF OF SNAP BY TRUMP AND ROLLINS
Before Trump and Rollins’ USDA cuts, a Minnesota farmer would get a same day call back from his local USDA office. Now, he can't get a call back and drives 100 miles round trip just to find a locked door
141 counties don't have a single NRCS staffer. American farmers deserve a USDA and administration that supports them and doesn't leave them in the dust.
Only 24% of EQIP applications got funded in FY25 – down from 43% the year before. Farmers are doing the work to apply, but the Trump admin gutted the staff to process them and Republicans are trying to cut funding. This is not what "pro-farmer" looks like.
10,000 Minnesotans' jobs are at risk because President Trump would rather bully allies than build with them.
Farmers and working people need real solutions that will open markets, bring down costs and make everyday life less expensive.
American farmers and families deserve better.
When you cut people’s grocery budgets by $187 billion, you cut farm income. It’s that simple.
Higher fertilizer costs caused by Trump’s war with Iran is hurting small farms. Nationwide, 72% of small farms have not secured the fertilizer they need for the upcoming planting season. Republicans have once again turned their back on family farmers.
Trump’s "Golden Age" of American agriculture is not going great.
Trump: Out of touch with farm country, out of his mind on trade policy.
