While the president is focused on his gilded ballroom, raising tariff taxes, and giving a $40 billion bailout to Argentina, American families are struggling with the surging cost of groceries, utilities, and health care.
The people are paying the price for the president’s chaos and corruption.

The president does not have the authority to unilaterally raise taxes on American consumers and small businesses nationwide.
His across-the-board tariff taxes are unconstitutional, and the court should make that clear.
With Republicans in control of the White House, House, and Senate, America is now facing the longest shutdown in our nation’s history.
It’s time for House Republicans to end their month-long vacation and negotiate a bipartisan budget that will reopen government and lower health care costs!
Republicans in control of the White House, House, and Senate have now tied for the longest shutdown in history.
But instead of negotiating with Democrats to reopen the government and lower health care costs, House Republicans remain on a taxpayer-funded vacation that began in mid-September.
NEW: At 35 days, the government shutdown has now tied the record for longest in history
It will break a record set in Donald Trump’s first term.

Open Enrollment has officially begun at healthcare.gov
Tragically, Missouri families will see higher costs and face difficult choices when deciding on a health care plan—all because Republicans would rather shut the government down than extend ACA tax credits that lower health care costs.
Yesterday the Trump Admin said they would comply with a court order to fund SNAP, and today the President is reversing course.
Stop the chaos - feed hungry families and seniors.
This is unbelievably cruel.
Republicans have shut down the government to prevent an extension of ACA tax credits that help working-class families afford their health care.
Missouri families are seeing higher health care costs because of it.

The president said he would drain the swamp and focus on the well-being of working-class Americans.
Instead, he’s ripping health care and food assistance away from hardworking families while giving massive tax cuts to the wealthiest people in the world.

Happy Native American Heritage Month!
This month we recognize the rich heritage and traditions of our indigenous peoples and honor Missouri’s tribal nations past and present.
Not only was the administration illegally withholding SNAP funding that families need to keep food on the table, they’re also going after local grocery stores who are trying to help keep their neighbors fed.
The cruelty is unfathomable.
By revamping and revitalizing the HOME Program—one of our greatest tools to expand the supply of affordable housing for working-class families—we can ensure that affordable housing & the American Dream of homeownership are once again attainable from the heartland to the coasts.
Americans in every community are struggling to stay afloat financially due to the high cost of housing, which is limiting opportunities for families to get ahead.
That’s why I introduced the bipartisan HOME Reform Act with Rep. Flood to lower housing costs.

The Department of Agriculture has the ability, authority, and legal responsibility to continue funding SNAP benefits with emergency funds designed for situations like these.
The administration must stop playing politics with hungry families and start doing their job!
Instead of negotiating with Democrats to reopen the government and lower health care costs, Donald Trump and Republicans are weaponizing hunger by unnecessarily cutting off SNAP benefits to kids, families, and seniors.
It’s sick and wrong.

Imagine being so out of touch you think $350 a month buys a stocked pantry
SNAP keeps the 53,099 households in LA-03, 54% of which have kids, from starving. What’s destroying this country isn’t people using food stamps, it’s people in power mocking them while stripping away these critical benefits.
As Republicans claim they cannot legally use emergency funding to continue SNAP benefits, a federal judge tells them they are breaking the law by refusing to use the funds.
As Democrats have said: this is a choice—and they are choosing to starve Americans for political purposes.
Health insurance premiums are more than doubling, critical services are disrupted, and public servants have been working without pay for nearly a month—and Republicans still refuse to end their month-long vacation.
This is a crisis that cannot wait.
Reposted byRep. Emanuel Cleaver
The only honest thing Secretary Rollins said at the entire press conference. Republicans and the Trump admin have failed you.
The Trump administration has the funds and legal authority to fully fund SNAP in November.
By choosing to play political games with these benefits, 16 million American children that rely on SNAP will go hungry.
It’s morally reprehensible.
