It's been 10 days since Trump let SNAP funding expire.

He could feed our kids, seniors, and veterans today — instead, he's begging SCOTUS to let him keep starving Americans.

Food should never be used as a weapon. Hungry kids are not political leverage. Fund SNAP now.

70% of Americans disapprove of this administration’s handling of healthcare. Cutting ACA subsidies is not the solution.

This is the time to make the case and build a broad coalition for Medicare tor All.

A deal that does nothing to lower costs does not serve my constituents and it is not what the American people want. They need relief ASAP.

Americans are facing a healthcare crisis NOW and this Senate deal does nothing to fix that.

It's a bad deal and I cannot support it.

Americans deserve better.

Americans are already getting pounded by high healthcare costs. I'm not rolling the dice on my constituents’ healthcare on some pathetic promise from the Senate for a future vote that Mike Johnson won’t honor anyway. Nope.

Hunger should not be a bargaining chip for ending the government shutdown.

Imagine being lectured on "patriotism" by a guy flying to Mar-a-Lago on the taxpayer's dime while air-traffic-controllers and federal workers continue to go unpaid.
Trump threatens to punish air traffic controllers who missed working unpaid days during the shutdown, implies there aren’t patriotic

I’m a NO on the Senate’s so-called “deal.”

It does nothing to address the GOP health care affordability crisis crushing families.

There is money to build ballrooms, there is money to help Argentina, but suddenly nothing can be done to help Americans struggling to keep up with healthcare costs.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

Donald Trump and Republicans have repeatedly made life harder for the American people during this shutdown.

They should try helping them instead, and work with Democrats to lower health care costs for millions of Americans.

That's what the American people are asking for.

“I don't want to hear about the affordability.”

Trump is globe-trotting, holding lavish parties, focusing on a ballroom while health care and electricity costs skyrocket and his tariffs drive up grocery prices.

“I don't want to hear about the affordability.”

He does not care.

ICE and CBP are terrorizing our communities.

What kind of "immigration enforcement" requires deploying tear gas in the vicinity of a playground where 2-year-old children are playing??
Chicago residents say kids tear-gassed due to nearby immigration enforcement
A Chicago mother tells NBC News she and her 2-year-old were hit with a chemical agent. Many residents say the city wasn’t a “war zone”— until immigration agents swept through.

People fought and died to defend our democracy.

We need a government and an economy that work for all of us, not just a handful of wealthy campaign donors.

That's the nationalism I believe in.

The government shutdown has delayed Head Start from providing nutrition and education services to 716k children annually.

We have a bipartisan responsibility to help working families not halt assistance they rely on. We need to vote to reopen the government and provide Americans relief.

I'm here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files.

Donald Trump and the Republicans tried to weaponize SNAP benefits thinking it would force Democrats to cave on fighting for affordable healthcare.

Now, the courts are forcing Trump to release SNAP benefits and we’re still fighting for coverage that’s affordable for everyone.
Many Republicans insist they were against the government shutdown that disrupted food stamp benefits. But some are welcoming it as a way to discuss a program they say needs reforms. bit.ly/3Jfw7vu

Donald Trump and Republicans have spent the past year driving up prices, ripping health care away, and making life harder for hardworking Americans.

Voters sent a message in yesterday's elections. While the GOP buries their heads in the sand, Democrats are fighting back.

Today is day 36 of Trump's govt shutdown, the longest shutdown in US history—second only to his 2019 shutdown.

Republicans continue making history for all the wrong reasons.

It's time for them to reopen the govt, save healthcare, & feed our families.

And the people agree.

During the lapse in SNAP benefits, I want you to know there are resources here to help you. No one in our state should go hungry. Here are some food resources in and around WA-09.
