Grocery stores rely on SNAP revenue to stay afloat – and as this shutdown drags on, many are being forced to lay off workers, some of whom rely on SNAP themselves. Now, these workers are left without an income and without food assistance.

Even in these challenging times, history will remember your leadership as a turning point – one that made our nation stronger, more just, and forever changed for the better.
Thank you, @pelosi.house.gov, for your extraordinary vision, your steadfast dedication, and your lifelong service to our country.
Her wisdom, mentorship, and generosity have shaped my work and that of countless others who have had the honor to serve alongside her.
It has been a privilege to call her a colleague and an even greater honor to call her a friend. I am deeply grateful for her leadership and for paving the path that made it possible for me and so many other women to serve in Congress.
For nearly four decades, San Francisco, the State of California, and our nation have been guided by her steady hand, inspired by her faith in our shared humanity, and moved by her unwavering belief in the promise of justice and equality for all.
A defining leader of our era, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi’s historic leadership will forever stand as a testament to the strength, courage, and resilience that define the American spirit.
House Democrats are fighting to reopen the government, protect essential services, and lower costs for everyday Americans. It’s time for Republicans to end this reckless shutdown and start putting the American people first.

Instead of working to lower costs, Trump and Congressional Republicans are wasting billions on vanity projects and foreign bailouts, leaving hardworking families to foot the bill.
After months of Trump’s disastrous trade wars and self-serving tax policies, American families are already paying more – from the grocery store to the gas pump to the pharmacy. This shutdown is only making things worse.
Economists are sounding the alarm that this shutdown will have particularly damaging effects on an already fragile economy.
Under Trump and the Republican majority, we’ve hit the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. It’s jeopardizing food assistance, halting critical services, and threatening access to affordable health care for millions of Americans — all while draining $15 billion from our economy every week.
It’s Day 36 of the Republican shutdown — and the so-called party of “fiscal responsibility” is bleeding our economy dry.

42 M Americans — including 1.2M veterans — stopped receiving SNAP benefits. Trump has the ability to fully fund and issue all SNAP checks, which he was court-ordered to do. Trump chooses not to. Hunger shouldn’t be a political weapon. Veterans and families are not pawns.
No matter how you vote, your participation strengthens our democracy – and our county election officials make sure every vote is counted and every voice is heard.
Whether it’s by mail, through a drop box, or at a voting center, your vote counts because of the professionalism and commitment of Ventura County’s election staff to maintaining fair and free elections.
She gave me a behind-the-scenes look at how ballots are processed, verified, and counted in this special election. Her dedicated team works tirelessly to uphold the highest standards of accuracy, transparency, and security in every election.
