Four Dems called out for helping Republicans cut food aid for pregnant women and children
The House passed a spending bill Thursday night that included $141 million in cuts to the WIC program, which provides fruit and vegetable assistance to women, infants, and children. The narrow 213-210 vote would not have passed without support from four House Democrats: Donald Davis (D-NC), Adam Gray (D-CA), Vicente González (D-TX), and Marie Glusenkamp Pérez (D-WA), according to The New Republic. Three of the Democrats, Gray, González, and Pérez, are members of the conservative Blue Dog Coalition. The Supplemental Food Assistance Program, or SNAP, operates through the Agriculture Department, and a program within SNAP, referred to as WIC, specifically provides fruit and vegetable assistance to women, infants and children.The cuts are considered puzzling during an economic downturn when WIC enrollment is likely to increase, and food prices remain elevated. Observers questioned why fruit and vegetable assistance for mothers and children was deemed acceptable to reduce, particularly as the program supports vulnerable populations during financial hardship.Watch the video below.

'I'm mad as hell!' Republicans get earful as Dem loses it over massive budget cut
A Florida Democrat snapped during a House Appropriations subcommittee meeting Friday, declaring the Republican fiscal year 2027 spending bill "a war on women and girls" after it moved to eliminate family planning funding for millions of Americans."I'm mad as hell! I cannot believe what I see!" Rep. Lois Frankel (D-FL) shouted during the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies subcommittee markup. "This is a war on women and girls!"Frankel tore into the bill over a string of cuts she said would devastate low-income women and families. The Republican spending plan eliminates Title X family planning funding — a cut of $286 million — and zeroes out the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program, slashing another $108 million. Title X serves nearly 3 million people annually, according to Frankel, mostly low-income or uninsured."This is our family planning money," Frankel said, "and not only that, preventative care, cancer screening, diabetes, keeping people healthy — mostly people who are very poor or uninsured."She didn't stop there. Frankel accused Republicans of pushing women toward unwanted pregnancies while simultaneously gutting the programs that would support them."I know you're against abortion. That's one thing. But forced pregnancy, that's another thing."The bill also cuts the Office on Women's Health within HHS by $14 million, according to Democratic appropriators, and replaces teen pregnancy prevention programs with abstinence-only education, which received a $5 million funding increase."Zeroing out teen pregnancy prevention — okay, let's see," Frankel said. "And lastly, not lastly — I go to another page — almost cutting in half the Office on Women's Health within HHS. This is a war! It's a war on women!"Frankel closed with a direct appeal to colleagues across the aisle."If you are a woman or you love a woman — you have a daughter, you have a sister, a mother, a cousin, an aunt — let's keep them healthy."According to Democratic appropriators, the bill cuts total spending by $19.1 billion — 9 percent — below fiscal year 2026 levels.
