Catherine Rampell reports:

“A lot of [the enrollment decline] is fraud,” USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins said last month. “A lot of it is people taking the program that shouldn’t have been. And then a lot of it is just a better economy. We’ve had wage growth that has outpaced inflation for the first time since early 2021. This is a really big day. So people don’t need food stamps.” 

Having looked at the numbers and talked to the experts, I feel confident in saying this is cruel, despicable bullshit. [emphasis added]
