That’s why today I introduced a comprehensive, bipartisan immigration reform bill known as the Dignity Act.

Last week, federal courts reaffirmed what we knew to be true: withholding SNAP funding is illegal.

By refusing to accept the responsibility that comes with controlling our ENTIRE government, Republicans have put us on a path to decimate our economy.

The Trump administration has always had food assistance for hungry Americans on their target list.
Their “One Big Beautiful Bill” slashes $186 billion next year.
