The Republican-controlled House passed a spending bill that eliminates nutrition benefits for vulnerable populations, with four Democrats joining the effort.
The Republican-controlled House passed a spending bill that eliminates nutrition benefits for a large portion of vulnerable populations, including women and children. Four Democrats voted with Republicans, giving the bill a margin to pass. The vote was straightforward: cut the programs or shut down the government.
This is direct policy, not a side effect of something else. House Republicans chose to remove food aid as part of their spending package. Whether this becomes law depends on the Senate and Trump's signature, but the House has now put on record that it's willing to cut nutritional support for vulnerable groups. The fact that some Democrats joined suggests there may not be a unified congressional block against it.
