Letting people go hungry in this shutdown is a choice Trump is intentionally making.
He could tell the USDA to use contingency funds to ensure families get their SNAP benefits on November 1st, he’s just choosing not to.

Every mention of SNAP being frozen should include this simple fact:
TRUMP is CHOOSING TO CANCEL FOOD ASSISTANCE. There are literally emergency dollars available to keep SNAP funded.

The Navy taught me that leaders always put the people they serve first.
That's how you know I'll work every day to lower your costs and fight for your family just as hard as I would my own. Watch our final ad.

Right now, Veteran Crisis Hotline calls are going unanswered and clinics are operating dangerously understaffed.
Even cancer patients are struggling to access treatment.
And what's the GOP's plan for vets? Fire 30,000 VA employees and slash critical VA funding in their Big, Ugly Bill.

Republicans in Congress had a choice:
Vote to protect the people they serve or vote to please Donald Trump.
When millions lose their health care, SNAP benefits, local hospitals and nursing homes—this moment will be remembered.
And the American people will know who to blame.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has been speaking for over 4 hours as we continue the fight to #KillTheBill that would rip healthcare away from 17 million Americans, food assistance away from millions more, and add trillions to our national debt.
All to fund more tax breaks for billionaires.

Thank you Leader Jeffries for continuing to fight for the millions of Americans who would be deeply hurt by this bill.
People will die because of the all-out Republican assault on healthcare in America.

It's $162 million stolen from New Jersey.
The Trump administration is currently holding hostage nearly $7B in federal funding for K-12 schools--funding that was supposed to be distributed yesterday.
They've stolen $80M from Wisconsin students and teachers alone. How much have they stolen from your state?

The Republican budget would be the largest transfer of wealth from the working class to the well off in the history of this country.
It cuts food assistance for hungry children, explicitly to offset the cost of tax breaks that overwhelmingly benefit the richest Americans.

It's simple: Trump's SALT cap hurts New Jersey. And now he’s doubling down on his proposal that leaves middle-class families paying more.
While he cuts taxes for billionaires, our teachers and first responders are stuck footing the bill.

Last week, Jack Ciattarelli said he couldn’t think of a single thing he disagreed with Trump on.
Moments ago, the Senate passed Trump’s price hike bill, which Jack has repeatedly endorsed.
By contrast, I’m voting NO on the bill, because it’s going to drastically raise your costs.🧵1/10
