Analysis Summary
ProPublica's multi-state investigation found that 770,000 children lost SNAP benefits following Trump administration policy changes in 2025, with some states like Texas seeing a 55% drop in child enrollment since July. Republicans had publicly stated the changes would protect the most vulnerable, but state data compiled by ProPublica contradicts that claim. The reporting is well-sourced across multiple states and corroborated by regional outlets and policy organizations tracking the enrollment decline.
