ProPublica's investigation confirms that at least 770,000 children lost SNAP benefits after Trump's domestic policy bill took effect, with Arizona alone seeing a 55% drop (200,000+ children) since July 2025. Republicans who backed the bill had promised changes wouldn't harm vulnerable families, but ProPublica's reporting from a dozen states directly contradicts this. The scale matters: that's roughly one-third of all SNAP-receiving children in Arizona in under a year, suggesting either aggressive enforcement of new eligibility rules or systemic barriers to recertification that disproportionately affect families already at the margins.
