U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres is warning that President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” which aims to cut taxes and government spending, also contains cuts to the social safety net that would be disastrous for the Bronx.
The bill proposes $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and SNAP food assistance programs, which would be a “catastrophe for the Bronx,” said Torres in an interview with the Bronx Times. “The consequences are hard to overstate.”
