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.

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.

Under the cover of night, the House is planning radical cuts to health care. People’s access to care will be terminated. The loss of coverage will make people sicker. And people will lose their lives. The time to act is now. This isn’t hyperbole.
