The president is openly defying a court order to release SNAP benefits to help families pay for groceries.
Trump does not get to pick and choose what court orders to follow. It is the law. These benefits must go out.

Speaker Johnson — call us back to Washington.
We need to negotiate a deal to reopen the government, lower health care costs, get these benefits out the door, and do what the American people elected us to do.
In Sacramento County alone, 270,000 people — including 90,000 kids — rely on those benefits to put food on the table.
I spent the morning volunteering at the Rancho Cordova Food Locker and saw firsthand just how real the impact of this government shutdown is.
Families are lining up for food because SNAP benefits haven’t gone out on time.
If you or someone you know needs help putting food on the table, please visit bera.house.gov/shutdownresources for a list of local food banks and community support organizations to help you navigate this challenging time.
Yesterday, two federal judges ruled that the Trump administration’s withholding of November food assistance payments was illegal.
While that decision is welcome, concern and confusion remain as some families may still face delays in receiving their SNAP benefits.
Happy Halloween, Sacramento County!
Wishing everyone a safe and spooky night. 🎃 👻
The Trump administration must comply with this ruling and take immediate action to ensure millions of families can continue to put food on the table.
Thank you to the over 8,000 Sacramento County residents who joined me tonight for my telephone town hall.
I know many in our community are struggling right now & are concerned about the future of our nation. I hear you and remain committed to doing everything I can to fight for you in Washington.
I’ll also answer your questions and address the concerns I’ve been hearing from our community about the ongoing federal government shutdown and recent actions by the Trump Administration.
Register at bera.house.gov/townhall or call 833-946-1558 at the time of the event.
Join me tomorrow at 6pm for my latest telephone town hall!
I’ll share updates on my efforts to reopen the federal government, protect access to affordable health care for millions of Americans, and advocate for Sacramento County in Congress.
Federal workers are showing up every day to keep America running — even without a paycheck.
They’re doing their jobs. It’s time for Speaker Johnson and President Trump to do theirs.
Let’s reopen the government, pay our workers, and lower health care costs for the American people.
Mike Johnson doesn’t have a plan to end this shutdown.
He doesn’t actually care about what’s happening to American families.
He only answers to one person: Donald Trump.
Trump can end this shutdown today by calling up Mike Johnson and instructing him to cut a deal.
I’ll be LIVE on CNN at 6:35am PT to discuss the news of the day. Tune in!

Even Marjorie Taylor Greene agrees: If Congress does not act, both Democrats and Republicans across the country are going to lose health care coverage.
CAPAC Whip @bera.house.gov shares how Democrats are fighting to protect Americans’ health care. WATCH:
I proudly stood with TSA agents and air traffic controllers at Sacramento Int’l Airport.
These essential workers continue to show up every day to keep the traveling public safe, even as they go without pay.
They're doing their jobs. It's time for President Trump and Speaker Johnson to do theirs.
Wishing a safe, healthy, and joyful Diwali to everyone celebrating in Sacramento County and around the world.
Today, we celebrate the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and the power of knowledge and kindness as we work together to build a better world.

No one wins a government shutdown.
It’s the American people who lose.
Speaker Johnson needs to call us back to D.C. to negotiate a deal that protects affordable health care and reopens the government to serve the American people.
