No child should go to bed hungry to give billionaires more tax breaks.
But that is quite literally the trade-off that Congressional Republicans are trying to make. Tell Congress: don't rob us of SNAP and school meals.

Tell Congress: No More Tax Breaks for the Ultra Wealthy
Congressional Republicans want to take child care, food, housing and health care away from women and families—all to help free up money in the budget to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy.
These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households.
If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?
