Federal courts have made it clear: Americans deserve their full SNAP benefits. The Trump Administration must release all funds and end the govt. shutdown he's leading —because we all know nothing moves in the Republican Congress without Trump. Read more here: https://bit.ly/4nzHXys

The Trump admin is weaponizing hunger by blocking funds for SNAP. Federal courts have ordered Trump to pay Americans their SNAP benefits — it's time for him to follow the law, and give Ohioans the benefits they need. To families struggling, please reach out to your local food bank for support.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialNov 1(source)

The Trump Administration has the power to protect SNAP—but refuses to act. As Thanksgiving nears, over 40 million Americans risk going hungry. I joined 213 of my Democratic colleagues in calling on Agriculture Secretary Rollins to release the resources families need now.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialOct 31(source)

Tomorrow, funding for Head Start and SNAP will lapse in Ohio - critical lifelines that strengthen children, families, and entire communities. All because Republicans have failed to act. I'm working to get Ohioans the benefits they need. 🔗Read more here: https://bit.ly/48SROvH

The scariest thing this Halloween isn’t ghosts—it’s Trump’s economy. Candy and other costs keep climbing, and families are paying the price. Trick or treat? Under Trump, it’s just the trick. 🍫👻

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialOct 31(source)

Standing outside the USDA with Shutdown Straight Talk. Republicans are holding 42M Americans—including 1.4M in Ohio—hostage by refusing to fund SNAP benefits during their government shutdown. Release the $5B and protect SNAP!

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialOct 29(source)

1.4 million Ohioans rely on SNAP - that's not a game. But Republicans think it is. The message is clear and simple. To Secretary Rollins and Republicans: release the SNAP funds, now.

It was a pleasure to speak at Robinhood's Financial Education Opening Event, to talk about the importance of financial literacy for student athletes and next-gen leaders. As Co-chair of the Financial Literacy Caucus, I will always support initiatives that empower young people with tools for success.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialOct 27(source)

Democrats are using every tool in our wheelhouse to reach young people about the Republican health care coverage crisis — because when health care is involved, EVERYONE is affected. Miss the town hall? 🔗Check out the link here to watch the full thing: http://bit.ly/4nd2FE1

Fighting for equality has always been personal to me. To the LGBTQ+ community — I continue to fight for you and stand with you. Thank you, Art for Life Columbus and Equitas Health, for putting together this fantastic event that empowers our LGBTQ+ family, and fights to end HIV / AIDS.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialOct 27(source)

Honored to serve as Honorary Chair for Equitas Health's 2025 Art for Life —Ohio’s largest charity art auction supporting the fight to end HIV/AIDS. Thank you, @equitas-health.bsky.social, for the incredible work you do for this important mission.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialOct 24(source)

Republicans' lack of action is hurting our public servants and federal employees — that's countless American families that are affected. Democrats will continue to uphold the rule of law, honor our public servants, and advocate for affordable care and benefits.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialOct 24(source)

Yesterday, it was confirmed what we always knew —Trump does not prioritize the concerns of the American people and thinks the People’s House is his. Press play to hear my thoughts and the link for the reporting: https://n.pr/4qIXwqz

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialOct 23(source)

Today, in a double-duty effort to condemn the Trump admin's abuse of power during the government shutdown, I led two letters demanding the release of critical infrastructure resources and the reversal of federal employee firings. 🔗Read more here: https://bit.ly/48JF1vx

When health care is at stake, everyone is affected. During my virtual town hall, I answered questions from my district and across Ohio, about the real-life impact on Ohio's families, if we lose critical coverage. Didn't get a chance to tune in? 🔗 Watch the full thing here: https://bit.ly/4nd2FE1

I joined a committee hearing on the Republican Shutdown to amplify the real-life impact on Americans, if Republicans don't act NOW to save health care. Thank you, to these storytellers, for sharing their perspectives. It's time to reopen the government, save health care, and get back to work.

Rep. Joyce Beatty@repbeatty.bsky.socialOct 22(source)

Trump's destruction of the East Wing is another example of his disregard for our country's history and the real issues Americans are facing. The East Wing, visited by thousands, annually, during White House tours, hold decades of history— across both political parties. Here are my favorite moments.
