More than 400,000 Arizonans have lost their SNAP benefits since July — the largest decline in the nation by a wide margin — after the state implemented changes called for in Trump’s so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

“The Alarm Bell”: Arizona's Drop in SNAP Participation Signals Potential Nationwide Impact of Trump Legislation
Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act imposes stricter food stamp work requirements and shifts a larger share of the costs to states. Arizona's swift implementation has made it more difficult to apply and caused nearly half of recipients to lose benefits.

The Senate unanimously approved a measure to display an existing plaque honoring the officers who protected the Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot. Congress passed a law in March 2022 mandating the plaque, but it has yet to be installed. Mike Johnson has argued the project is “not implementable.”

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years. Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
