Another 6.7 million mothers, infants, and children risk losing access to WIC, which provides critical nutrition support for growing families.\n\n\u201cNo president should be able to hold hungry families hostage because they want to play political games,\u201d said Rep. Crockett. \u201cIn Texas, we\u2019re talking about parents skipping meals so their kids can eat and seniors rationing groceries because their benefits haven\u2019t come in. It\u2019s shameful, and it\u2019s preventable. The Trump administration\u2019s cruelty knows no bounds. It\u2019s one thing to spar with your political opponents\u2014but starving children, seniors, and families to make a point? That\u2019s negligence. I\u2019m proud to join Congresswoman Hayes in prohibiting this administration from playing politics with people\u2019s lives by requiring them to release the funds now.\u201d\n\nThe Keep SNAP and WIC Funded Act would:", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:52:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://crockett.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-crockett-joins-democrats-demand-trump-administration-release-withheld-snap"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9300149977207184, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
