NEW: Days after President Trump's call for a "new" census, Florida's GOP state Attorney General James Uthmeier proposes states get new shares of congressional seats before the 2026 midterm election based on a "recount" in states that the Census Bureau estimates it overcounted or undercounted in 2020

The people who power our country are being ripped from our communities.

🥗 @voice4humanneed.bsky.social statement opposing the House reconciliation package www.chn.org/voices/chn_v...

🥗 @voice4humanneed.bsky.social reports that @cbpp.bsky.social estimates 15 million people will lose healthcare. People will go hungry. Not just food insecure--hungry. Kids will lose access to school meals. Women and infants will lose nutritional support from WIC.

Lawmakers are scapegoating immigrant families to justify gutting Medicaid – when greedy corporations are to blame. Cuts to Medicaid harm us all, driving families into debt & straining community hospitals. 📖 Read our new blog w/ @pifcoalition.bsky.social >> commcat.io/4kqj1rU

About 20M lower-income kids in working fams wld be left out of the full $2,500 max credit in 2026. ($2,500 in place 2025-28.) These families’ median income is about $23,000. See state table. More than 15M of these kids wld have fared better under last year’s bipartisan bill.

House W&M bill does nothing for the ~17M kids currently left out of the $2,000 max credit b/c their families’ earnings are too low. Temp. raising the max to $2,500 gives them $0 or zilch, but delivers an additional $500-per-kid to higher-income families. www.cbpp.org/blog/policym...

This bill is a disaster for children. It walks away from a 50-year commitment to ensure that poor children in rural Alabama and New York City all have access to the food assistance they need to grow and thrive.

Our prior work showed that abruptly cutting SNAP funding at the end of the pandemic ⬆️ food insufficiency among low-income families. We'll likely see even greater impacts with currently proposed funding cuts: www.healthaffairs.org/doi/full/10.... @ucsf-epibiostat.bsky.social @hsph.harvard.edu

NEW: Under one Republican proposal to expand SNAP's existing work requirement, 6 million adults would be at risk of losing #SNAP. Almost 11 million people, including 4 million kids, live in households that could lose some amount of food assistance. State & district data in link⤵️

The Child Tax Credit lifted millions of people out of poverty, including lawfully-present immigrant families, allowing them to buy the food, clothing, & housing they need. Cutting the Child Tax Credit cuts parents’ ability to care for their families. #NotOnMyWatch

More than 40 million people, including lawfully present immigrant families, use SNAP to feed their families. Cutting funding for SNAP and other nutrition programs increases hunger and healthcare needs across the U.S. #NotOnMyWatch

Nearly 80 million people, including lawfully present immigrants, count on Medicaid for primary care, prescriptions, hospital visits, and more. Cutting Medicaid puts the health of millions of people at risk. #NotOnMyWatch

1 in 4 children in the United States has at least one immigrant parent. Cutting safety net resources like Medicaid and SNAP means hurting millions of immigrant children and families across the country. #NotOnMyWatch

Resources like Medicaid, SNAP, & more help immigrant families & other hardworking families get food, healthcare, & other support they need. Cuts to safety net resources mean cutting a lifeline for real families. #NotOnMyWatch

Earlier today, the @housedemocrats.bsky.social Steering and Policy Committee led by @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @whipkclark.bsky.social held a hearing on the Republican scheme to destroy #SocialSecurity. In this thread are some key takeaways we recorded. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g6a...

Now, David is hired by HHS to conduct a study of autism & vaccines. www.chn.org/voices/human...

Hundreds of thousands Americans are dying from drug overdoses and suicide. Yet, HHS has announced that it will cut HALF of the staff of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration SAMHSA. Newest #HumanNeedsWatch 👇 www.chn.org/voices/human...

As of March 28, there were 400 measles cases confirmed by the Texas Dept. of State Health Services in the South Plains and Panhandle regions of the state. Forty-one have been hospitalized, and 1 child in the region died. Newest #HumanNeedsWatch 👇 www.chn.org/voices/human...

$12 billion in grants to states and localities for public health purposes was abruptly cancelled by HHS. Some have been using these grants to maintain public health infrastructure, and to respond to the opioid epidemic. Newest #HumanNeedsWatch 👇 www.chn.org/voices/human...

The Social Security Administration announced that applicants or those making changes to their benefits would have to do it online or in person, despite office closures and long waits, and that 61% of seniors don’t have internet at home. Newest #HumanNeedsWatch 👇 www.chn.org/voices/human...

Despite worsening service for the 73 million people relying on the Social Security Administration, the Trump Administration is proposing to cut the staff by 12%, or about 7,000 workers, as well as closing more than half the regional offices. Newest #HumanNeedsWatch 👇 www.chn.org/voices/human...

Anne Bacon relies on $1,600/month that her brother Rick Clark receives from Social Security because he has dementia and requires care. In January, his check did not come. Ms. Bacon waited on the phone for 6 hours over two calls. Newest #HumanNeedsWatch 👇 www.chn.org/voices/human...

The average phone wait time to reach the Social Security Administration has doubled to 104 minutes, and the SSA website crashes 4 times last month. These problems have occurred as staff were cut and 6 out of 10 regional offices closed. Newest #HumanNeedsWatch 👇 www.chn.org/voices/human...

Terry was scammed out of most of his savings and was supposed to get his money back—until Donald Trump and Elon Musk gut the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Part one:

Debbie Weinstein, CHN's executive director, took @fracposts.bsky.social #SNAPChallenge25 to see what $6 a day can get you. A small cheese pizza, a chicken pie, a bag of peas, all frozen- and a yogurt. Yet, many members on Congress still want to cut it. #HandsOffSNAP www.chn.org/voices/snap-...

CHN is participating in @fracposts.bsky.social #SNAPChallenge25: What does $6 a day get you at the store? For 40 million SNAP participants in 22 million households, $6 per day forced them to make tough choices: between healthy produces, fruits and canned, processed food. #HandsOffSNAP

speaking of relatable @repshontelbrown.bsky.social participated in #SNAPChallenge by buying a week’s worth of groceries for $42, to better understand what people on SNAP are dealing with. It is an absolutely brilliant video that hopefully resonates with a wide audience. 5/

🥗 The voices of people with lived experience matter more now than ever. #SNAP #agsky

People want better opportunities for their children, not devastating cuts to the very programs that foster them. The civil rights community is united against the Trump Administration’s attempts to dismantle the @usedgov. Take action NOW: p2a.co/1hUCZ68 #EducationIsARight

Tim is a Navy veteran. Following an injury, he applied for #SNAP but as cut off after 3 months, because of the stringent work requirements. He became unhoused and lost so much weight that he had to add 7 holes on his belt; @mazonusa.bsky.social Hunger Museum. www.chn.org/voices/human...
