Trump's shutdown continues to cause for 42 million people across America, using food aid as leverage while he wages a power grab for himself & his cronies. But federal workers are holding the line for critical public services, including SNAP & healthcare. WATCH: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zFi...

Trump is forcing more hardship on federal workers + working families while dismantling the services we all rely on. Trump's shutdown - now the longest in U.S. history - withholds critical public services in favor of billionaire handouts. But federal workers are standing strong and holding the line.
As more than one million U.S. government employees go without pay, many are turning to side jobs and food banks to make ends meet. “We can only drain our savings for so long,” said one TSA officer.

NEW: Almost six weeks in, Trump's shutdown strategy is clear: He's willing to stretch the budget, but only for political gain and retribution. For others, like the 42 million on food stamps, he has offered no relief, and sought to enact cuts Congress did not approve

1 in 8 people rely on SNAP benefits - it's a safety net for people in every corner of the country. Delaying SNAP funds is a deliberate attack on working families, low-income communities & the people who serve them. We must hold the line to protect these critical services. www.npr.org/2025/10/31/n...
Federal judges order administration to pay SNAP benefits but what's next remains unclear
Two federal judges ordered the Trump administration to use emergency funding to provide SNAP benefits. But it's unclear how much, or when, those funds would be provided before the funding runs dry.

When our so-called leaders step away from a crisis, federal workers & allies step up. Through The People's Pantry, we've raised nearly $20,000 + 1,600 lbs of food in 1 week for working families around Washington, DC. And we're just getting started. Join us! #supportfederalworkers #savepublicservices

The Trump administration deliberately chose to withhold food aid + healthcare hostage while spending billions on private jets, foreign deals & vanity projects. Federal workers + the American people are paying the price while Trump treats the federal budget like a slush fund. #supportfederalworkers
The government has been closed for a full month — and federal workers who have missed two paychecks are now using credit cards to pay their bills and visiting food pantries to stock their kitchens.
After a month of the shutdown, workers face mounting bills, car repossessions
Missed paychecks and mounting bills are causing people to fall behind on rent and go hungry across the nation.

Thank you to everyone who joined The People's Pantry this week! We raised more than $15,000 & collected over 1,000 lbs of food for federal workers & families around DC! But it's not enough to keep 42 million Americans from starving this weekend.

DC: Join us TODAY from 3-5 PM @ the USDA HQ to kick off The People's Pantry. Fired & furloughed federal workers are collecting food for families in need + demanding the release of $6 billion frozen emergency SNAP funds. While Trump builds ballrooms, we feed people. actionnetwork.org/events/peopl...

The Trump administration has tried to blame federal workers while withholding $6 billion for SNAP that could prevent millions from going hungry. Federal workers are the families working without pay, applying for loans & struggling to feed our families. And we will hold the line for these services. 💪

These workers are SNAP, scientists, veterans, analysts + frontline employees who keep the gov't running, keep people fed & ensure they have healthcare. They suffer from lack of pay & are struggling to pay bills but are urging Congress to hold the line. READ: www.federalunionists.net/press/statem...

Punchbowl reports “White House officials determined they do not have the authority” to use contingency reserves —billions of $ that Congress provided for use when SNAP funding is inadequate— to fund Nov. SNAP benefits. But, that’s not what USDA’s now-deleted shutdown plan says:

The Trump Administration has slashed, shuttered & defunded critical public services that millions rely on — this shutdown is just the latest play in a power grab that was unleashed when Trump took office 9 months ago. But federal workers are standing by the people we took an oath to. #WeTookAnOath
