I am astounded by Secretary Rollins' careless disregard for hungry Americans who rely on SNAP for a little help. Her words have consequences. She is creating unnecessary confusion for millions already struggling to afford their lives because of this administration.

China has bought less than 10% of the soybeans Trump promised farmers. The administration has a long way to go to deliver on its word.
It’s a pattern: big announcements, broken promises, and American farmers left with nothing.

Trump promised farmers 12 million tons of soybean sales to China by January, but only 10% of their commitment has been purchased.

The administration should be ashamed. They are fighting to take away food from children, seniors and hardworking Americans. The court has ordered that the administration has both the power and the money to fully fund SNAP this month and has compelled them to do it.
