This administration's actions are always aimed at hurting the most vulnerable. Texas foster kids aren't sure if they will be able to eat because Trump and Republicans are withholding their food assistance and using it as a political weapon. This has to stop. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
SNAP cuts hit Texas foster kids: ‘We can’t rely on the government’
Under a new rule tucked into Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, young adults aging out of foster care must work, volunteer or attend school for at least 80 hours per month to qualify for benefits.

A wrenching story about the people who don't know when they will eat next because Trump and Republicans are holding food assistance hostage. They need to distribute SNAP benefits immediately, and return to D.C. to work with us on a deal to reopen the government. www.texastribune.org/2025/11/05/t...
Texans are still waiting for November SNAP benefits
Although the federal government has said it will deposit half of November benefits, Texans are still unsure when money will land in their accounts.

According to the Tax Foundation, President Trump's tariffs have increased taxes on American families, and it's only getting worse next year.

Trump has refused to release SNAP contingency funds, in defiance of a court order.
But in our own community, thousands who normally rely on SNAP lined up for food distribution last weekend. Every moment Trump delays, more of our neighbors go hungry.

Because our state rejected Medicaid expansion, 4 million Texans are enrolled in ACA health care. Now, it's about to be 35% more expensive.

Trump's demolition of the East Wing of the White House to build a gilded ballroom is not only an admission of his failed priorities but a powerful illustration of how this unchecked and unaccountable administration is creating lasting damage to American institutions.

The president is not a king. He is not free to disregard the rule of law whenever it becomes politically inconvenient for him. The Trump administration must comply with recent court orders to fund SNAP in November for millions of hungry seniors, children, veterans and the disabled.

Glad to talk with KRLD's Barbara Schwarz about my efforts to continue funding for food assistance into November. President Trump and Republicans must stop using hunger as a weapon, and instead come to the table and work with us to reopen the government and solve the health care crisis.
