                 CONDEMNING REPUBLICANS' BIG, UGLY LAW

  (Ms. ROSS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to condemn Republicans' big, ugly 
law, which decimates food assistance for 42 million Americans, 
including millions of children, seniors, veterans, and people with 
disabilities.
  Erica from Wilson, North Carolina, had this to say about SNAP: ``As a 
grandmother who is having to raise my granddaughter, this program helps 
me. I survived three heart attacks, yet [I am] still able to make sure 
my granddaughter is taken care of.''
  At a time when so many families are struggling to put food on the 
table, why would we take away a lifeline that millions of Americans 
rely on?
  This past weekend, I visited Christ the King Lutheran Church in Cary, 
North Carolina, where I saw firsthand indispensable work to combat food 
insecurity in our own community.
  Republicans have abandoned vulnerable, hungry people to pay for tax 
cuts for billionaires. It is shameful and un-American.
