The President should want to feed hungry families. Instead, he is fighting tooth and nail to keep food from millions of Americans in need. This is wrong and he needs to stop toying with families.

This admin is absolutely dedicated to the noble cause of taking food away from hungry people. They’re working overtime. They’re fighting tooth and nail. They’re going above and beyond. Using your taxpayer dollars to advance their mission of stealing more from working people.

Donald Trump just said he'll ask the Supreme Court to freeze SNAP payments AGAIN. His message to the 42 million Americans who rely on SNAP? Eat dirt.

The courts are clear that Donald Trump can’t stop SNAP funding. The President’s dogged insistence on letting kids, seniors, & American families go hungry is brutally heartless & cruel. https://t.co/1gvaYcU35u

Back-and-forth court rulings have led to confusion and frustration over SNAP subsidies that help 42 million recipients pay for groceries.

The Trump Tariff Tax is driving up costs, crushing our small businesses, and wasting your hard-earned money.

This hunger crisis is deliberate. President Trump has the authority and the funding to release SNAP benefits. He is choosing to let children, seniors, and families go hungry. The courts have ruled yet again: feed families now.
BREAKING: The Trump administration has renewed its Supreme Court appeal to keep full SNAP payments frozen during the shutdown.

Trump could follow court orders, he just doesn't care to do that or feed the 42 million Americans who rely on SNAP. He's never cared about you, your healthcare, or your ability to put food on the table. He's a mob boss through and through.

Another horrifying consequence of Republican abortion bans that block women from getting the basic health care they need. Every Republican should have to answer for this.
More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban. Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. “This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.” https://t.co/qDuWf03VCr

Pardons for election deniers and criminals. No help for families struggling to put food on the table. President Trump’s corruption has no limits. He’s not fighting for you.

I've said it over and over again; these are not normal times. Trump is illegally refusing to fund SNAP and is now asking states to UNDO any work to feed hungry Americans amidst the funding lapse. There is nothing normal about a regime that fights to keep its people hungry.

While your healthcare costs are going up: Donald Trump and Republicans are preoccupied with ballrooms, private jets, and bailouts for Argentina. Those are the priorities of the Republican party.

The courts have reaffirmed that Trump cannot withhold the benefits Americans need for food for their families. He cannot take 42 million hungry people as hostages. And yet, he just appealed to the Supreme Court AGAIN to get out of paying full SNAP benefits to hungry Americans

A one-year extension of current ACA premium tax credits is something many Republicans themselves have said they want. That’s what Democrats put in our proposal. Plain and simple. Now it’s in Republicans’ hands to make it happen.

If Republicans want to talk about long-term fixes to ACA affordability, Democrats are ready. But in the meantime, doing nothing is derelict. People will go bankrupt, people will lose insurance, and people will get sicker. Republicans cannot continue doing nothing.

Democrats offered a perfectly reasonable compromise to get out of this ridiculous shutdown: Vote to reopen the government Approve a one-time, temporary extension of current ACA premium tax credits Negotiate longer-term fixes to ACA affordability after we reopen But

The only reason Republicans have dragged this shutdown on for so long is simply because Republicans don’t want to lower healthcare costs. They are happy to let 24 million Americans see their premiums DOUBLE on average.

The FAA has cancelled over 1,000 flights out of America’s busiest airports. Instead of negotiating with Democrats, Republicans would rather let air-traffic controllers go unpaid, they’d rather ground flights, and they'd rather punish travelers. Instead of governing,
