· 3 pulledOne of the key provisions of President Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill,' enacted on July 4, 2025, was a major cut to nutrition assistance for low-income Americans, known as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
The SNAP cuts amounted to about $18.7 billion annually — about as much as the federal government spent in one week of the Iran War.
