Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

850,000 New Jerseyans use SNAP—350,000 are children. The Trump admin. has leveraged the full legal might of our government to deny them food.
We stopped them in court, and they told us they’d comply and fund SNAP.
Now they're trying to take it back. This is why we are fighting.
