SNAP update: Another cut from the Republican reconciliation law takes effect today, cutting the federal match for SNAP administrative costs from 50% to 25%. Every state now gets half as many federal dollars to ensure SNAP gets to eligible families on time & in the right amount.

Today, I’m reintroducing the BASIC Act with @SenAlexPadilla to help colleges connect students with food, housing, child care, transportation, and other basic resources they need to stay in school and earn their degrees. College should be a path to opportunity, not a choice between getting an education and putting food on the table. No student should have to drop out because they can’t afford to meet their basic needs.
