Trump and Republicans have made it impossible for working families to make ends meet.
A dark red photo of a grocery store aisle, with the shelving visible and signs for "fish & meat." The image is blurred and darkened. Large white text is overlaid on the image, reading: "This shutdown made one thing crystal clear: Trump and Republicans don’t care if Americans go hungry, or without health care, as long as their billionaire buddies can keep cashing in." The source is cited in small white text at the bottom.

Sen. Warren: Trump tweeted 7 times in one day about his brand new marble bathroom at the White House, while Americans turned to crowdfunding to pay for their health care bills. Trump hosted a Great Gatsby themed party while he turned off food assistance for millions of Americans.

He was peacefully protesting—and ICE shot directly at him. If this is how ICE treats a pastor, how will they treat the rest of us?

No one should have to choose between affording their health care or putting food on the table—yet here we are, thanks to Republicans.

Earlier this year Trump accepted a massive donation from Boeing. Now the criminal case against Boeing is being thrown out at the request of the DOJ. 🤔
A graphic contrasting two events related to Boeing and the administration. The image is split into two panels with a black background and white text. Top Panel (How it started...): Shows a screenshot of a Reuters headline reading: "Boeing says it is donating $1 million to Trump presidential inaugural fund" (Dated January 10, 2025). Bottom Panel (How it’s going...): Shows a screenshot of a Politico headline reading: "Federal judge grants DOJ request to dismiss criminal case against Boeing" (Dated 11/06/2025). Red text at the bottom asks: "What is going on here!?" The source is cited at the very bottom.

Republicans are pumping billions of dollars into Trump's deportation force while slashing the programs that actually help American families.
A bar chart comparing federal agency funding over two periods. The title reads: "Republicans gutted Medicaid to fund their masked militia, and they’re just getting started." The chart compares 2022–2025 funding (teal bars) with 2026–2029 projected funding (red bar): DEA: $14.3B (2022–2025) ICE: $37.9B (2022–2025) FBI: $43.6B (2022–2025) ICE (Projected): $123.6B (2026–2029). A photo of a fully equipped, masked tactical officer is superimposed over the tall projected ICE funding bar. The source is cited at the bottom.

Americans are frustrated by high costs and a nonexistent social safety net—meanwhile, Donald Trump is working on his swing.
A photograph of Donald Trump walking across a golf course, wearing a white polo shirt, black pants, and a red "Make America Great Again 45" hat. A body of water is visible in the background. White text is overlaid on the image, highlighting his travel during a government shutdown: "While 20 million people on SNAP go hungry, Trump celebrated a full month of his government shutdown with a $3.4 million golf trip to Florida. Trump flew Air Force One to his private Palm Beach club for the 13th time. That brings his total taxpayer-funded golf travel to more than $60 million. And he's planning to go again this weekend. Wow." The source is cited at the bottom.

The Trump administration has made it clear: it wants to take food away from hungry families—it'll even go to court over it.

Disabled workers employment rates made a lot of headway. But due to premium spikes, many disabled workers will have to make career decisions based on employer based health insurance vs having the flexibility to start self employment or their own business.

Trump and Republicans are crashing the economy and leaving Americans without a safety net.
A photo of an empty, dimly lit office space with cubicles, set against a dark, cool-toned background. A yellow box at the top reads "BREAKING". Large white text below the box states: "Announced layoffs hit their highest level in 20 years for October as Trump brags about the economy and lets millions go hungry." Yellow text at the bottom says: "Republicans have abandoned Americans." The source is cited in small white text at the bottom.

Families can't afford their groceries or healthcare costs—is America great yet?
A photograph of an empty, ornate hallway, likely in the Capitol, with an American flag hanging in a doorway. A lone figure in a suit walks across the frame. Large white text at the bottom reads: "This summer, Trump’s Big Ugly Bill slashed SNAP and Medicaid benefits. Now, Republicans are doubling down during their government shutdown, letting health care premiums skyrocket and cutting off SNAP aid." Orange text at the very bottom states: "Republicans are continuing to hurt people. They’ve done it before, and they’re doing it again." The source is cited below.

It is heartless to abandon the millions of families who rely on SNAP to eat.
A dark blue-tinted photograph of New York State Attorney General Letitia James speaking at a microphone, with a flag visible behind her. A large quote is overlaid on the image, attributed to her. The text reads: “SNAP is one of our nation’s most effective tools to fight hunger, and the USDA has the money to keep it running. There is no excuse for this administration to abandon families who rely on SNAP, or food stamps, as a lifeline. The federal government must do its job to protect families.” The source is cited at the bottom.

Most of the people who benefit from SNAP are children—this is who Trump is hurting.
A pie chart graphic illustrating the demographics of SNAP recipients. The title reads: "Trump is illegally withholding SNAP funds. Here’s who he is hurting:" The pie chart is broken down by percentage: - 39% Children (dark pink section) - 20% Adults Over 60 (orange section) - 13% Other (yellow section) - 9% Disabled Adults Under 60 (teal section) - 9% Others Exempted From Work Requirements (light blue section) - 7% Full-Time Workers (dark blue section) - 5% Full-Time Caregivers (pink section) A plate of food is in the center of the pie chart. Text at the bottom reads: "The longer Republicans keep the government shut down, the longer people go without food." The source is cited below.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Last night, voters across the country rejected Trump and Republicans' agenda to cater to billionaires, raise costs, and cut vital programs.
A graphic with a dark blue background and large white text. A white box at the top reads "BREAKING". The text states: "Democrats sweep as voters reject Republicans' disastrous economic agenda. Turns out, people don’t like being priced out of their homes, their health care, and their groceries while Trump demolishes our White House for a $300M gilded ballroom, makes over $1.8B from selling the presidency, and randomly gifts Argentina a $40B bailout."
