In another tweet on the same day, Cuellar highlighted public sentiment towards a budget bill with significant implications for social programs and border security. He stated “New polling shows nearly two-thirds of Americans oppose the partisan budget bill after learning more about its contents. Deep cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, which helps provide school meals, $50 billion for a border wall while crossings are at a historic low, and $3 trillion in new”.
Later that day, Cuellar shared a link to what appears to be an extensive report on these issues by tweeting “Read the full report. https://t.co/DjTIjAFC2i”.
