The shutdown may be over. But it’s important to make clear why we fought—and why the worst, unfortunately, is yet to come.
From cutting heating assistance to refusing to extend the ACA tax credits, Republicans are jeopardizing the health and wellbeing of millions.

🚨BREAKING🚨
After appealing yesterday’s ruling to release *all* SNAP benefits for November, the Administration is backing down.
Remember: These funds are available. They tried to block them anyway.
They’re clearly feeling the pressure. Let's hope this sticks—and every last SNAP dollar is paid out.

Speaker Johnson still refuses to work.
He's terrified of what’s in the Epstein files. So terrified he’s willing to let his constituents go hungry when SNAP benefits run out on 11/1.
Republicans care about one thing: protecting Trump—even as he (literally + figuratively) destroys the White House.

For many Mainers, hunting is a way of life. So this is a big deal. Not just as an indicator of how bad the PFAS crisis is getting, but for the people who rely on hunting to keep food costs down.

SNAP is an entitlement program. They could *easily* find the $8 billion.
Meanwhile, they’re sending $40 BILLION to bail out Argentina, screwing American farmers in the process.
