As the Trump Administration refused to help hungry Oregonians, our local grocers took steps to assist SNAP recipients.

However, the USDA took it one step further to let these grocers know that they could not help feed starving families. Read the full story 🔗 www.oregonlive.com/business/202...

JUST IN: Nearly 2 months after her election, Adelita Grijalva still hasn’t been seated. Chair @repespaillat.bsky.social again calls on Speaker Johnson to act immediately, sending a letter earlier this morning demanding her swearing-in.

The Supreme Court made the right decision not to hear a challenge to Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.

As it should be, same-sex marriage will remain a constitutional right.

Time and time again, the courts have reaffirmed that Trump cannot deploy the National Guard to Portland. Today’s ruling is the nail in the coffin. It’s a win for everyone who saw Trump’s abuse of power for what it was.

If Republicans in Congress do not act and extend the Affordable Care Act premium tax credits, Steve’s wife will not be able to afford health care and will likely not re-enroll.

Listen to Steve’s story. 🎧

We’re in the longest shutdown this country has ever seen.

Republicans could put a stop to this

All it would take is for them to come to the table and start working on the issues facing everyday Americans, like rising costs and skyrocketing health care premiums.

Shame on Trump’s Department of Education for STEALING $1 billion meant to help hire school-based mental health professionals.

Our youth are dealing with a mental health crisis, and this decision is ripping away necessary resources from our students.

Congress created the grants in the aftermath of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. The goal was to help schools hire mental health professionals, including counselors and social workers.

As a reminder, Oregonians are still receiving November SNAP benefits. Despite a judge’s order to fully fund SNAP, Trump has appealed the ruling and is asking the courts to block full SNAP benefits from going to families. He is doing everything he can to defy the courts to ensure families starve.

❗️GOOD NEWS❗️

Oregonians should start to see full November SNAP funds ready and available on their Oregon Trail Cards.

This is because a federal court ordered the Trump Administration to fully release SNAP benefits to recipients by TODAY. (1/2)

When children, seniors, and veterans are going hungry, what is the President's response?

Does he send a $40 billion check to those families like he did to Argentina?

No. He turns his back on Americans. Visit www.oregon.gov/odhs/food/pages/default.aspx for food resources near you.

Nancy Pelosi’s service has made our nation stronger and has helped millions of Americans.

She led with strength and grace, and I’m lucky to have served alongside her. She inspired countless women across the country, and I could not be more grateful for all she’s done.

I recently spoke with Sue, whose premium will more than double thanks to Republicans’ inaction to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits.

As a kidney donor, she can’t risk losing coverage. Her story is heartbreaking — and preventable. (1/2)

We’re in the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

Workers are missing paychecks, families are struggling with health care costs, and children are going without food benefits — this is not an accomplishment we should be celebrating.

Our nation is better than this.
