“The chairman has said that spending on WIC in 2026 was lower than in 2025. I point out that there was a government shutdown from October 1, 2025, to November 12, 2025. In October, faced with running out of funds, States asked infant formula companies to send out rebates faster so they could keep running their programs. Using the formula rebates made the average per-person food cost in October 2026 $9 lower than in 2025. But if you discount that month, the average monthly food cost in 2026 was higher than in 2025, not lower.”

“They cut SNAP by 20 percent in the big, ugly bill this summer, dismantled and defunded Federal programs, fired Federal workers, and illegally ignored court orders. This bill fails to address the healthcare crisis, and bipartisan outrage has erupted over language in this bill to pay millions of taxpayer dollars to a handful of Senators whose phone records were subpoenaed in relation to the January 6 investigation. It is a bad bill, and I oppose it.”
