In the middle of a government shutdown.
November 8, 2025 at 9:25 PM
Republicans are creating a hunger crisis. Food lines are growing, and organizations are being stretched thin.

We need to fully fund SNAP benefits and ensure people can get the food they need.

The FAA has announced cuts in flights and major delays because of staffing shortages during the government shutdown.

We need Republicans to come to the table, negotiate with Democrats, and reopen the federal government – NOW.
November 7, 2025 at 7:16 PM
Just when you thought the Trump Administration couldn’t go any lower. They are doing everything they can to delay and stop food assistance to Americans in need.

The Administration must follow the law, fully pay benefits, and stop weaponizing hunger during a Republican shutdown.

Air traffic controllers are working without pay right now.
 
Trump could stop this Republican shutdown today by simply convening a meeting with legislative leaders.

The Trump Administration must use contingency funds, set aside for this very purpose in emergencies, to pay SNAP benefits to hungry kids, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities.

House Republicans need to come back from their vacations and have a real conversation with Democrats to reopen the government.
November 6, 2025 at 5:01 PM
We’ve still had no oversight hearings, no classified briefings, and no legal justification for this Administration's boat strikes.
 
It is completely a dereliction of duty for Republicans to not convene at all and be on vacation during this shutdown.

Longest. Shutdown. In. History.

Thanks, Republicans.
November 5, 2025 at 9:20 PM
Californians told Trump that we will not yield.

Today officially makes this the longest government shutdown IN HISTORY.

Republicans control the White House, Senate, and House. This is their shutdown.

STOP THE REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN.

Last night, the American people took a stand and decisively rejected the harmful agenda of Trump and Republicans.

Democrats are fighting back for working people. We will continue to demand better, and we will not yield.

Visited Meals on Wheels West yesterday to thank the staff and volunteers who are continuing to provide nutritious meals and services as the need for food assistance increases.

We need to fully pay for anti-hunger programs and stop this Republican shutdown.

Trump is now saying he will only pay SNAP benefits once the Republican shutdown is over, despite a federal court order.

As a result, 42 million kids, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities could go hungry. This is illegal, immoral, and absolutely cruel.

Fact: Republicans have been on vacation for 45 days.
Jonson: Republicans will be on the job every single day

Yes, this is real.

Trump was throwing a Great Gatsby party while 42 million Americans faced uncertainty about getting food assistance.
November 3, 2025 at 9:02 PM
Lines at food banks are getting longer and grocery prices are out of control.

We should not be weaponizing hunger in the middle of a Republican government shutdown.
November 3, 2025 at 7:01 PM
- Increasing your healthcare costs
- Cutting SNAP
- Not paying workers

This is all thanks to the Republican shutdown.

Republicans are working for billionaires, not you.

It’s worth repeating:

Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House.

If Donald Trump said end this shutdown today, Republicans would do it.

Open enrollment for healthcare begins today, and millions of Americans could see huge jumps in their health insurance options.

Your healthcare should be affordable – that's exactly what Democrats are fighting for every day.

Halloween is today, but what's even scarier is the Republican shutdown.

Federal workers aren’t getting paid. SNAP benefits are set to stop. Healthcare costs are about to massively increase.

All of these problems are solvable, but Republicans are on paid vacation.
