Ahead of Independence Day, Senate Republicans rushed to pass Trump’s “big, beautiful bill”—slashing billions from SNAP, imposing time limits, restricting eligibility, and shifting unsustainable costs to states.

States like New Mexico would have to absorb some of the costs of SNAP. To maintain our current level of support, that would mean spending an additional $100 million, according to Sovereign Hager, Legal Director at the NM Center on Law and Poverty.
