Update: this is no longer included in the final funding deal. I'm going to keep fighting to lower premiums and ensure Republicans can’t get away with a backdoor national abortion ban.
Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Donald Trump just said he'll ask the Supreme Court to freeze SNAP payments AGAIN.
His message to the 42 million Americans who rely on SNAP? Eat dirt.

ICE showed up at the Hidden Oaks apartment complex in Argay in Portland on 11/7 and 11/8 around 8 am. Residents made “ICE is here” signs, some handwritten and some copied, and taped them around the neighborhood.
Witnesses did not see any arrests either day, but ICE did not return this morning.

One point worth emphasizing here: The punditry has been saying Sherrill (and Spanberger) represent the sane centrist wing of the party versus the left. Well, okay, but here Sherrill is urging more fight. Again, the results show that anti-Trump + affordability can *unite* the party. This shows how.
This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

My red line has always been lowering health costs for Americans. Donald Trump and Republicans don’t want an agreement that meets that bar. I’m a no.

I will not support this bill that completely fails to help Americans afford their health care.
Trump and R’s have more than doubled Americans’ health care premiums, and for 40 days they have refused to lift a finger to do a thing about it. In fact, they’ve made it worse by taking food from kids.

UPDATE: Donald Trump is so hellbent on denying people SNAP that he went all the way to the Supreme Court to block benefits.
Now Trump is trying to bully states into TAKING BACK payments they already made to families.
It’s chaos for the sake of cruelty.

We have an affordability crisis in this country. Trump’s illegal tariffs are impacting working families and small businesses across Oregon — and that’s why we filed a lawsuit to stop them.

Today in the Supreme Court, the government’s own attorney admitted that the American people will pay 30-80% of Trump’s tariffs.
These tariffs are an unlawful tax on working families.
The Supreme Court needs to make sure no one is above the law — not even the president.

57% of all ad spending by Republicans in the Virginia governors race was on anti trans ads. Just an incredibly mismanaged campaign. Anti-trans politics are a losing issue.
