This administration’s shame knows no bounds. After being ordered to fully fund food assistance, they are asking the Supreme Court to let them to cut some aid from women, children, vets, and families. Simply shameful and outrageous.
Breaking news: The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to pause an order directing it to release SNAP benefits. The request came after the administration said it was working to release the benefits, suggesting the money would be dispersed.

Paterson firefighters are vital to our city’s public safety. The department takes a whopping 40,000 emergency calls per year and deserves our support now more than ever. Ongoing communication between the city and firefighters is essential to achieve a fair and respectful deal for

Make no mistake: the Trump admin could fully fund SNAP right now. They’re choosing not to. They’re choosing to let families go hungry in a desperate attempt to cut your health care. Cruel. Shameful. Inexcusable.
“Obviously we have to find a way to comply,” a senior Trump administration official told @JasJWright an hour after a federal judge ordered the gov’t to issue full SNAP payments within 24 hours. By Thursday evening, the USDA made clear that it would appeal. https://t.co/PT3OUVmj28

Your daily reminder that Republicans control the House, Senate and White House. They could reopen the government TODAY if they wanted to.

As your representatives in Congress we are fighting in lockstep to protect you from the Republican cuts. It’s time to reopen the government — protect SNAP, cancel the cuts, save health care, and lower costs.
I was grateful to be with my NJ Dem colleagues and so many of you last night to discuss how we’re fighting Republicans’ cuts to SNAP. Thank you to everyone for staying engaged. It’s time for Republicans to stop standing in the way of protecting healthcare, lowering costs, and

There’s still time for House Republicans to return to Washington and work with @HouseDemocrats to reopen the government.
BREAKING: Transportation Sec. Sean Duffy says the FAA will *reduce flight capacity* in U.S. airspace starting Friday morning if air traffic controllers continue to go unpaid. FAA will cut traffic by 10% at 40 undisclosed airports beginning Friday if there’s no shutdown deal.

Good to see the White House focused on lowering costs for working families.
The White House has added some gold trim above the Oval Office door and is preparing to put a gold sign outside the room.

Over the weekend, a federal judge ordered the administration to tap into these emergency funds and begin making payments. Americans are being squeezed by high costs everywhere, including at the supermarket, this is not the time to play games with the American people.

Not only did Republicans shut down the government and force 52,000 TSA officers to work without pay — now their deranged members are screaming at them in airports. Nancy Mace didn’t have an “interaction.” She threw a tantrum at unpaid workers just trying to do their jobs.
Nancy Mace blames cops for her airport meltdown: "Yes, I did have an interaction on Thursday. I want to be very clear. We saw last year 2 assassination attempts on President Trump. Just a few weeks ago we all witnessed Charlie Kirk's assassination. We've seen that Steve Scalise
