This morning, the president ordered states to not distribute full SNAP benefits for November, and demanded that states “undo” any benefits payments that have already been sent to working families for food.

Read our statement in response.

Millions of hungry Americans are not getting their SNAP benefits — because of Trump and Republicans.

Millions of families are worried about health care costs skyrocketing next year — because of Trump and Republicans.

Democrats will keep fighting for working people.

Seattle brings a rare ray of hope for centrists over progressives tonight, as Mayor Bruce Harrell leads Katie Wilson in the first batch of results. 53.5% to 46%.

Caution: This will shift a lot before the final result, and will be very slow.

Ann Davison, the GOP city attorney, trails huge.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.
