The proposed farm bill released today fails to address the crisis created by cuts to SNAP that will take away needed food assistance from millions of low-income families who are already struggling to afford the rising cost of food. Statement from @tyjonescox.bsky.social: www.cbpp.org/press/statem...
The House Agriculture Committee’s farm bill ignores the needs of low-income people struggling to afford the rising cost of groceries, many of whom are already losing food assistance under the harmful Republican megabill’s (HR 1) unprecedented #SNAP cuts. This is unacceptable.
From NM Food & Ag Policy Council: We are hearing that the House Agriculture Committee that may take up the #FarmBill around Feb 23. @repgabevasquez.bsky.social is on the committee.
The New Mexico legislative session offers an opportunity for networking with groups like @nmvoices.bsky.social, Rio Grande Food Project, Meals on Wheels, Farm to Table and others #NMLegislature2026

Ahead of Independence Day, Senate Republicans rushed to pass Trump’s “big, beautiful bill”—slashing billions from SNAP, imposing time limits, restricting eligibility, and shifting unsustainable costs to states.
It takes food from millions. It’s devastating.
Republicans just passed the largest cuts to SNAP in history, stripping food from millions including children, seniors, veterans, single mothers, and so many others.
We're heartbroken and livid. No one should go hungry to benefit the wealthy few.
We will fight back.
