Washington, D.C. — One year ago today, the Trump administration signed HR1 into law, setting in motion the deepest cuts to SNAP and Medicaid in American history, all to fund tax breaks that overwhelmingly benefit the wealthiest households.

From grocery store checkout lines to hospital waiting rooms, the damage is playing out in real time. Headlines from coast to coast this week reveal the toll: plummeting enrollment numbers, shrinking benefits, and hospitals bracing for closure. And the worst of HR1's provisions haven't even taken effect yet.

Here's what headlines across America are saying one year after HR1:
