SNAP’s Contingency Reserve Is Available for Regular SNAP Benefits, as USDA and OMB Have Ruled in Past The Administration must use all available options to fund November benefits for the 1 in 8 people in the U.S. who need SNAP to afford their grocery bill.

The Trump Admin claimed that #SNAP benefits aren't available for Nov 2025 b/c SNAP’s “contingency funds are not legally available to cover regular benefits.” This stands in opposition to the law & prior practice, incl. by the Admin itself.

Food isn't a luxury. People need #SNAP and food banks can't make up the difference.

Michigan's budget does make some progress, but there are still some major gaps, including early childhood funding.

Cuts to Michigan's Great Start system are especially alarming.

Opinion | Protect Michigan families’ health care not tax breaks for the wealthy - Bridge Michigan Small business owners, self-employed workers and middle-income families across Michigan would face impossible choices. Some would be forced to drop coverage altogether.

We need to protect health care in Michigan, not cut it.

Republican Bill Puts Nation on New, More Perilous Fiscal Path

The Senate voted to add $3.3 trillion to the national deficit & decimate the social safety net all to pay for tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires.

The Big Beautiful Bill breaks Trump’s promise to protect Medicaid.

About 1 in 10 veterans use #Medicaid

Real people will be harmed.

Great start to #MPC25

SNAP is extremely popular.

Cutting it is not.

There is nothing beautiful about taking away healthcare and food.
Take action now.

“I resent people calling my fellow Michiganders waste, and I resent people calling my fellow Michiganders abuse, and I resent people calling my fellow Michiganders fraud. None of those things are what’s happening. What is happening is our government is being unresponsive to the needs of its people.”

Just a reminder, 83% of Michiganders think Medicaid funding should be increased or stay the same.

There is widespread support for Medicaid. The cuts will be devastating.

As you go to bed tonight, the House Committee has scheduled a 1 am hearing to vote on taking away healthcare from millions of Americans.

If this was popular, they wouldn’t be doing it in the middle of the night.
