WIC. They are pausing WIC.

That's the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. Last time I checked (a while ago), every dollar spent on WIC produced over a dollar in savings *in the same fiscal year.* For most people, though, feeding infants and mothers is enough.
Broader agreement that it to applies to discretionary spending payments (Head Start, WIC, etc).

"Nothing says I'm a pro-life Christian quite like taking WIC formula away from infants."

Mike Johnson: "The WIC program, the nutrition program -- women, infants, and children -- that program won't be funded. FEMA won't be funded."

They’re stopping WIC payments.

WIC provides nutrition (& healthcare) to pregnant women & children under 5.

Despite being massively underutilized, >50% of all US babies rely on WIC.

Every $1 spent on prenatal WIC benefits saves >$3 in healthcare expenses (mostly to taxpayers) in the 1st yr of life

Cutting VA benefits along with SNAP, WIC benefits?

I was a WIC baby. The contributions I have made to science and beyond are thanks in part to WIC.
I woke up angry and PISSED because they are canceling WIC .

WIC and food stamps and I know for some of you it’s cute to pretend that you never used them

But that’s how I got through the 80’s

I absolutely get to be mad at organizer/ writers activists who ignored this

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

WIC serves 53% of all infants born in the United States.

This is literally taking food from babies.

My strongest lesson from WIC is that benefit restrictions are structured for maximum humiliation.

You can't do self-checkout for WIC, you *have* to do it with a cashier

As a young USN wife & mother who used WIC & know that low ranking military families rely on programs like SNAP & WIC this really pisses me off! 👇👇👇👇

thank god for wic
More than 4 million people nationwide were dropped from the federal food assistance program known as SNAP from July 2025 through March, according to a nonpartisan think tank.

Arizona has seen the sharpest decline.
1.5 million children lost food aid since last July, analysis says
Nationwide, an estimated 4 million people have been kicked off SNAP since the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill, the report finds.

Rep. McGarvey asks about WIC. Talks about Vought calling to eliminate the fruit and vegetable benefit within WIC. Vought responds by saying "we fully fund WIC."

McGarvey interrupts and says, "No it doesn't. It says it right here."

food subsidy programs (SNAP, WIC, others) are suicide prevention

For 30 years, Congress has fully funded #WIC to ensure all eligible families who apply can receive full benefits. The House agriculture appropriations bill would break this promise: it would underfund WIC & cut benefits for WIC participants in every state. www.cbpp.org/blog/house-a...
House Agriculture Bill Underfunds WIC, Cuts Fruit and Vegetable Benefit, and Fails to Make Virtual Services Permanent
For the second year in a row, House Republican appropriators are jeopardizing access to WIC.

“.. We feel good about one to two weeks,” said Ali Hard, policy director for the National WIC Association. “After that, we are very worried.”

In California, WIC will remain open and fully operational through November. Families should keep their scheduled WIC appointments and use their WIC cards for groceries as usual. Find updates at: myfamily.wic.ca.gov/Home/Federal...

Trump’s proposed cuts to WIC will take food—fruits, vegetables, nutrition—from low-income mothers, infants, and children. These cuts are needlessly cruel, WIC is a lifeline. We must protect it.
