This summer, President Donald Trump has begun to chisel back Medicaid and food stamps. On a July day in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed legislation into law that launched Medicaid, creating a health care safety net for millions of low-income Americans in one of the crowning achievements of his legacy. A year earlier, Johnson did the same for food stamps.

Democrats say Republicans are ripping “food out of the mouths of children.” Local governments are scrambling to respond.
