'Catastrophe': States scramble after Trump's cuts to Medicaid, SNAP [View all]

But President Donald Trump's cuts to food stamps and health care for poor people and those with disabilities, among other things, has pushed her over the edge.

“I’m just worried, extremely worried,” said Tonkins, 57, who has a 17-year-old son with autism.

So, for the first time in her life, she attended a townhall, held July 10 by her Democratic member of Congress, Rep. April McClain Delaney.
