Last week as most Americans looked forward to an extended holiday weekend Fox News went into overdrive as it promoted and pushed Trump's - One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB). Since Trump created his massive budget reconciliation bill Fox News has spoken about it in vague and broad terms.No one at the network spent much energy discussing what was included in the legislation until it was in the final stages of gaining enough votes in the House and Senate. Once it was close to getting over the finish line the folks at Fox knew their job was to champion it at all costs.Even during the network's three-hour Independence Day celebration Fox included extended segments about the success of OBBB. Most of what the Fox News audience learned about the legislation was inaccurate, misleading or downright false.In poll after poll the OBBB remained unpopular with most Americans across the political spectrum. Even several Republican lawmakers in both houses were concerned about the legislation yet all but a handful fell in line to vote for it when pressured by their glorious leader.The OBBB is a monster designed to inflict most of its damage after the midterm elections. As the poorest Americans lose SNAP benefits and Medicaid the wealthiest will have a few more dollars and the country will come closer to financial ruin. This is a public episode.

A recent report from the US Department of Agriculture states that Virginia's over- and underpayment error rate of SNAP food benefits hovers around 11%. In remarks Tuesday, Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin said the commonwealth could bring that number down below the pay-it-back threshold implemented in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.    In other news: The City of Richmond is looking to redevelop a century-old warehouse in Rockett's Landing, Charlottesville still plans to implement a homelessness intervention strategy — and more Central Virginia news.   

An Allegheny County state House member has led the charge to repeal a 150-year-old ban on Sunday hunting in Pennsylvania. Governor Josh Shapiro is expected to sign it into law this week. A state appeals court ruled that a Western Pennsylvania municipality violated its own zoning law when it allowed a natural gas well to be built in a residential area. The future of the federal food benefits program known as SNAP - the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - is unclear. Nearly 2 million Pennsylvanians depend on SNAP benefits, and it costs about $500 million to administer SNAP annually in Pennsylvania. But there are sweeping changes to the program's state and federal funding formula going into effect, as a result of President Trump's newly-signed spending law. Governor Shapiro has said Trump's plan might mean the end for SNAP benefits. A Lancaster County lawmaker has introduced a bill to clarify the role of constables in the Commonwealth. Rep. Tom Jones, an East Donegal Township Republican, introduced a bill to modernize the regulations governing constables and clarify their roles in the court system and law enforcement. Tower Health is eliminating 50 positions across four hospitals, including Reading Hospital, and outpatient services. The nonprofit company says it's part of a streamlining process at the healthcare system. The Schuylkill County borough of Saint Clair is celebrating its 175th anniversary this week. And a deeper dive: Pennsylvania needs more power to meet growing demands for electricity. As a result, Governor Shapiro has proposed a statewide board to expedite the siting of large-scale electricity projects such as those needed to power data centers.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Donald Trump's signature economic package, the One Big Beautiful Bill, is now the law of the land. It extends the Trump tax cuts, ends the tax on tips and boosts border security spending, among other GOP priorities. But it also makes drastic cuts to social safety net programs, including Medicaid and food assistance. How will these cuts affect Nevadans? How will our community health centers and food banks be impacted? This week, host Ben Margiott interviews Mandi Larsen, the chief development officer for Northern Nevada HOPES and Jocelyn Lantrip, the marketing director for the Food Bank of Northern Nevada.

In the heart of Old Town Winchester, at the bustling Espresso Bar, a deeply insightful conversation unfolded between Janet Michael, host of The Valley Today, and Andrea Cosans, Executive Director of Winchester CCAP. The topic, while sobering, is crucial: the recent cuts to SNAP benefits and their far-reaching impacts on the community. "I'm here about once or twice a week," Andrea began, referring to the frequency of her visits to the popular café. Janet echoed this sentiment, acknowledging their shared space for meetings and cooling off, and this casual start quickly transitioned into a critical discussion about the newly passed legislation affecting SNAP benefits. Andrea provided a detailed look at their clientele, mainly the elderly on fixed incomes or those in the 'ALICE' population—Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. These individuals are the working poor, juggling multiple jobs without health insurance and still unable to make ends meet. Janet stressed, "It's important to understand that these are working people, not folks looking for a handout." Statistics were highlighted, revealing that last year, CCAP's food pantry program assisted 8,500 unduplicated individuals, with many visiting only twice a year, underscoring the crisis nature of food insecurity. People often visit multiple food pantries, not to game the system but to survive. The rising cost of living, particularly rent, was another focal point. For many families, access to food pantries is the difference between making rent and feeding their families. Janet noted, "In so many cases, being able to come to CCAP and stock their pantry, put some food in their refrigerator, is the difference between them making their rent or feeding their family." Concerns about food supply shortages were raised, with Andrea mentioning that sources like the USDA are showing signs of strain. She recounted a six-month period when meat was unavailable at food banks, highlighting the fragility of food supplies. Janet urged listeners to empathize by imagining a month without meat—a stark reality for many families. Andrea emphasized that the food available at pantries, typically canned and boxed goods, wouldn't be chosen if there were better options. Despite these challenges, Janet noted the silver lining—those who visit for food might discover other valuable services offered by CCAP, such as clothing, financial literacy classes, and rental assistance. Andrea discussed the shame some people feel in accessing these services, saying, "You know what I hear all the time? 'But I'm not that needy; there's somebody else more desperate.'" This sentiment is likely to change as more people find themselves in tighter spots. Looking forward, Andrea warned that SNAP benefit cuts would likely worsen, moving thousands from food insecurity to hunger. Andrea highlighted that CCAP might have to cap the amount of food distributed or focus resources entirely on food or financial aid. Despite these challenges, grants from United Way and collaborations with local suppliers like USA Produce offer some relief. The discussion also shifted to the broader economic impacts. If local organizations can't fulfill their obligations, small businesses and vendors suffer, creating a trickle-down effect that harms the community. Janet stressed the systemic nature of these issues and the importance of collaboration among local organizations. Janet concluded by asking how the community can help now. Andrea's answer was multi-faceted: donations, volunteer work, and advocacy. She invited people to donate food or money, volunteer their time, or bring unique skills to assist CCAP. Janet encouraged listeners to educate themselves and their circles about the pressing issues discussed. Andrea highlighted the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank's advocacy resources, she framed the situation as a collective challenge requiring united efforts. "Thank you for taking some time and making me more depressed," Janet jested, adding, "But at the same time, giving me some hope, because I know that there are so many organizations in our area that are like you, and they're like, okay, challenge accepted." In closing, Janet made a heartfelt plea for solidarity and support. "I encourage you to take the information that you've learned today because it is real. It is local information. And help educate those around you so that they too understand the value of giving in their communities," she concluded. The essential message remains clear: Together, we can make a tangible difference in addressing the SNAP benefit cuts and their impact on our community.

Food support programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, are facing cuts as a result of the passage of President Donald Trump's tax and spending bill.Tuesday on Midday Edition, we hear from a local food support organization on the state of hunger in San Diego County today.Guest:Bob Kamensky, CEO, Feeding San Diego]]>

Among the spending cuts in the big tax bill signed into law by President Donald Trump last week: $186 billion over the next decade to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps. Community food banks are already strained. Now, many worry whether they'll be able to keep up. Also on the program: Delta tries to crack the "last mile" in parcel delivery, and new tariffs could hit in three and a half weeks.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

Leslie is joined by Bruce Lesley, President of First Focus on Children, a bipartisan advocacy organization working to make children the priority in federal policy and budget decisions. Bruce explains how the newly passed 'Big Beautiful Bill' "chooses billionaires over babies, and puts the nation's children in unprecedented peril." Here are just a few ways that the new law will hurt the nation's children:  Cuts $1 trillion from Medicaid and CHIP: Medicaid and CHIP provide health insurance to over 37 million children in the United States and Medicaid covers nearly 40% of births. H.R.1 includes the largest funding cuts to these programs in their history and creates administrative burdens, such as lock-out periods and work requirements.  Defunds the largest child anti-hunger program: One-in-five children experience food insecurity. This bill cuts food assistance by cutting more than $200 billion from SNAP and places a larger cost share burden on states. This cost shift could cause states to end their programs or limit enrollment. Advocates argue that losing SNAP benefits could also impact free school meals, further risking a rise in child hunger. Leaves children behind in tax policy: This legislation offers an inadequate Child Tax Credit. While some will see an increased credit amount, the increase still fails to keep pace with inflation. Even worse, the new structure keeps more than 20 million children from receiving the full credit and blocks 2.6 million kids from receiving any credit at all. Undermines public schools: H.R.1 creates a new tax benefit for wealthy donors that jeopardizes the future of our public schools. This education voucher tax credit will offer 2-3x the benefit of other non-profit donations, incentivizing donations over other organizations. It is important to note research shows vouchers do not improve academic outcomes and disproportionately benefit families who already send their children to private schools. Threatens the child care workforce: There is already a child care shortage in the country. H.R.1 will make it harder to recruit and train new child care professionals by prohibiting the use of federal student loans for sectors that do not earn over the median high school graduate salary. We must further invest in this profession and work to increase pay for providers, not create additional barriers to building a strong child care workforce. Increases funding for family separation: H.R. 1 dramatically raises funding for immigration enforcement. This funding will lead to increased family separation and detention. These immigration practices disrupt entire communities and are known to create childhood trauma, adversely affecting child health and development. Cancels efforts to address the climate crisis: H.R. 1 eliminates investments in solar and renewable energy leaving our children to deal with greater effects of climate change in the future. This measure comes as kids are experiencing adverse environmental health effects and natural disasters. Forces kids to shoulder our ballooned national debt: H.R. 1 drives up the national debt by $3 trillion in order to give tax breaks to billionaires and industries like gun manufacturers. This bill expects our children to shoulder the cost of these tax breaks when they become adults while stripping them of essential services today.  The website for First Focus on Children is FirstFocus.org and their handle on BlueSky is @FirstFocus.bsky.social.  Bruce's handle there is @BruceLesley.bsky.social. 

Trump's sweeping spending and tax bill funds $4.5 trillion in tax breaks for the wealthy through the largest cuts to Medicaid and SNAP in history.

Send us a textIn this special July 4th weekend episode, I start with something a little different. While I usually keep this podcast focused on the worlds of film and television, I couldn't ignore the very real-world news that broke over the holiday: a deeply concerning piece of legislation signed into law by President Trump that slashes Medicaid access, cuts SNAP benefits for struggling families, adds trillions to the national debt, and gives away massive tax breaks to the already ultra-wealthy.It felt wrong not to say something.But don't worry — we do pivot back to what this podcast does best: breaking down what's worth watching (and what's not).

Soda and energy drinks would no longer be eligible for purchase through the Supplemental Nutrition and Assistance Program in Nebraska under proposed regulations from the state's Department of Health and Human Services. At a hearing Tuesday, advocates said the restrictions could hurt grocery stores and stigmatize Nebraskans who use SNAP. “Implementing the SNAP restriction waiver will lead to fewer food retailers accepting SNAP, thereby causing a significant number of Nebraskan families, including those with children, veterans, people with disabilities and the elderly, to face even greater barriers when trying to put food on the table,” said Madison Castor with Nebraska Appleseed.

Changes to federal food assistance rules could have a dramatic influence here in Virginia. Michael Pope explains why.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano exposes how the Big Beautiful Bill reveals the dangerous cycle of government dependency and unchecked bureaucratic growth. As Democrats frame the bill as cruel, Professor Giordano breaks down how programs like Medicaid and SNAP have ballooned far beyond their original intent, now cover nearly 1 in 5 Americans. With new work and education requirements for able-bodied adults sparking outrage, this episode dives into the fraud, waste, and abuse plaguing these programs. Even Republicans are hesitant to introduce real reforms for fear of backlash from the American people. He explains how Republicans must go on offense to win the narrative war and restore the American values of personal responsibility, limited government, and true compassion. Episode Highlights: The explosive growth of Medicaid and SNAP: from safety nets to permanent entitlements What GAO reports reveal about fraud, abuse, and hundreds of billions in wasted taxpayer dollars Why Republicans must control the narrative and defend work requirements as moral and necessary

President Trump's massive tax and spending bill signed into law on July 4 enshrined his 2017 tax cuts and cut federal funding for clean energy, food assistance programs and Medicaid in part by shifting costs to states. This comes as local food pantries say they've been at capacity the past few years due to inflated grocery prices and increased demand as a result of the COVID pandemic. Reset hears how this could affect Chicagoans with SNAP recipient Cody Martin, Pilsen Food Pantry director Dr. Evelyn Figueroa and Greater Chicago Food Depository CEO and executive director Kate Maehr.

Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.   SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as “food stamps,” SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.   CONNECT WITH Cedric Francis Website: https://www.lead2greatness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cedricbfrancis X (twitter): https://twitter.com/cedricbfrancis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cedricbfrancis/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-b-francis-a0544037/

Over an extended Independence Day weekend, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law. The legislation has many components — making his 2017 tax cuts permanent while also aiming to cut federal spending on Medicaid and SNAP benefits.

President Trump’s big tax law includes a major provision the GOP has endorsed for years: work requirements for Medicaid recipients and for food stamp benefits. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that 11.8 million Americans could lose medical coverage over the next decade and more than 3 million could lose SNAP benefits.

In this week's episode of the Nonprofit Newsfeed, George and Nick delve into the critical issue of donor data ownership within donation platforms. They reveal that for 25% of platforms, nonprofits cannot seamlessly migrate recurring donors, potentially severing relationships with monthly contributors. George emphasizes the importance of understanding donor payment tokens and the impact of being locked into platforms without data portability. The episode also touches on the philanthropic landscape, highlighting Warren Buffett's record $6 billion donation to various foundations and the ongoing influence of billionaire philanthropy. This brings into focus the necessity of smart, long-term philanthropic planning to avoid potential pitfalls of sudden funding withdrawals. Moreover, the conversation shifts to the legislative sphere, discussing the ramifications of the "big, beautiful bill" that threatens significant cuts to Medicaid and SNAP benefits, impacting millions of Americans. The hosts underline the urgency for nonprofits to prepare for increased demand on their services and the potential closures of rural hospitals and food banks due to these cuts.

While the spending bill aims to cut healthcare and food aid services, ICE is set to receive a historic boost in funding.

In today's jam-packed discussion, Tom and co-host Drew tackle some of the most pressing issues shaping today's world—from the latest midnight vote in the Senate and its sweeping impact on government spending, taxes, and entitlements, to America's mounting debt crisis and what fiscal responsibility really looks like going forward. The conversation dives deep into the philosophical and practical realities behind the “big beautiful bill,” exploring the controversial cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, heightened requirements for government assistance, and the massive increase in defense spending. Tom and Drew don't shy away from the tough questions: Is hard work really the only path forward? Can America keep up its promises to retirees and the vulnerable, or are we headed straight for a fiscal cliff? Taking a step further, the episode explores the broader cultural wars defining the next decade in America—what values do we truly share, and who gets left behind when the math stops adding up?
