Cutting families off from food assistance is absolutely unacceptable. That is why I have joined over 200 Members of Congress in calling on the Administration to release SNAP funding now. It’s also why we are dropping legislative language to force the Administration to release

Federal employees have faced unprecedented challenges over the last ten months—and now, during this shutdown, many are working without pay or furloughed entirely. The HELP FEDs Act ensures that these workers aren’t penalized with student loan fees, defaults, or credit damage

7 years ago today in the worst episode of antisemitic violence in U.S. history, 11 worshippers were murdered in cold blood at a Pittsburgh synagogue by a neo-Nazi hyped up on the Great Replacement conspiracy theory. Sending love and solidarity to families of the victims. May

I really need to say this. Do not be shamed to go to the food banks to eat. You must survive, so put all pride aside. If you need help, do not be shy to ask. We all we got, the government is not coming to save you. We need to stop shaming people just trying to live.

The Trump Administration can fund SNAP — but is choosing not to. After cutting $186B from the program, Trump is once again taking food off the tables of 42 million Americans. I’m demanding that Trump and @SecRollins reverse course — and feed Americans who are hungry.

It’s been 38 days since the House last held a vote. No appropriations bills. No committee work. No progress. Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to even swear in duly elected Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva. Enough excuses. Bring the House back to work and do your job.

Sunny is right. The folks that voted for the Bum from Queens to be back in the White house are feeling the effects of the Government Shutdown including possibly of not receiving their SNAP benefits next week. #TheView

Those folks in Republican led states definitely will be feeling it the most.

Even if you are leader of the free world, you don’t just get an MRI without a clear reason to do so. There’s no such thing as a “screening” MRI.

Jesus: “For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.” Republicans: “Uhhhh yeah exactly. We really hate poor people!”

Some of you are mad because people are on SNAP and not working. I’m mad because people are on SNAP even though they are working.

Don’t Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House? Asking for a friend.
Mike Johnson: "Democrats are required to open the government. They keep saying, 'Republicans are in charge of government.' We aren't!"

Trump and Bessent bailed out Argentina to help Milei’s midterms and enrich Bessent’s hedge fund friends. All while US farmers and ranchers struggle. I talked about this on MSNBC last week:
Bessent on Trump bailing out Argentina: "It is America first because we are supporting a US ally."
