An analysis published Thursday showed that millions of Americans have lost critical food assistance since President Donald Trump signed last year’s massive Republican tax giveaway for the superrich, with soaring grocery prices and cuts to school meals exacerbating the crisis.

According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP), approximately 5.5 million people, including roughly 2 million children, have lost Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) assistance since Trump signed the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) in July 2025.

The legislation approved the deepest cuts to SNAP—also known as food stamps—and Medicaid in those programs’ histories while slashing billions of dollars from other essential social programs to fund massive tax breaks for billionaires and corporations.
