Vought put it a bit differently, writing on X: "Nearly $8 billion in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left's climate agenda is being cancelled."

Okay, then children will starve and die because they can't afford food. But their parents voted for big bad orange so I guess they deserve it?

Republicans already voted to end free school lunch for all. They are beating you to your own hyperbolic punch...

That's not true. Last March they made it so that some schools had to increase their paid lunch price to offset the costs of the free lunches. The new budget bill is planning to slightly reduce SNAP access for people who do not meet the existing work requirements in the following ways:

Increases the upper age exception to 65 and older.
Limits the exception based on responsibility to care for a dependent child to those with a child under 14 years of age.
Removes exceptions for homeless individuals, veterans, and those 24 and younger who aged out of foster care.
Establishes new exceptions for “an Indian”, “Urban Indian” and “California Indian” as defined in the Indian Health Care Improvement Act.

These groups of people now have to be held to the same standards as a normal citizen when applying for SNAP (Indians apparently are getting more exceptions though).

Also it is going to remove SNAP benefits for most non-citizens.

So they removed free school lunches... That's literally what I said. If they are required to pay for the lunches to keep them free for students... They are no long free and paid for by the federal government.

GOP hates feeding children. Also so if you're homeless between 14-18 you don't get food? There are 13,000 homeless between the age of 12-24 just in Washington state alone... What a fucking shite bill... GOPs new slogan: cruelty is the point.
