The Admin. just made an appeal to the Supreme Court because it does not want to feed hungry Americans.
And the Supreme Court just agreed!
It is unconscionable that the Admin. is fighting this.
And for the Court to not realize that hungry people can't wait days for food ... Just unbelievable.

A nurse, cancer survivor, and mother from our district shared the many ways she depends on ACA tax credits. Without an extension, she’ll lose access to critical care.
We have a responsibility to protect affordable, accessible health care for her, and for every family who depends on it.

This is why the GOP budget is so harmful: millions of Americans – including seniors, veterans, foster youth, and workers – are soon going to lose their ability to put food on the table.

Using the government to stifle free speech is dangerous and un-American.
We are starting down a treacherous path, with an administration that continues to weaponize their power to punish their critics.

The President's move to fire a sitting Federal Reserve Governor would raise inflation, crush the dollar and throw our economy into turmoil.

I stood against the budget bill on the House steps this morning because it would take health care and food assistance from tens of thousands of people right here in CA-27 — and raise costs for working families. This bill would hurt the very people I was elected to serve.

It's been over 120 days since Republican leadership took control of Congress, and we have not voted on a single bill to lower costs. Instead, today, they passed a bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico.
Enough is enough.
