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.

As Republicans refuse to extend ACA tax credits that help working-class families afford health care, Americans across the country are seeing their premiums skyrocket.
@housedemocrats.bsky.social won’t stop fighting to #ProtectOurCare and lower costs for the people.

Republicans want to starve children to pressure Democrats into gutting healthcare.
How do we know?
Mike Johnson just admitted it.
I’m glad that my Republican colleagues have finally found the strength to speak up for their constituents.
Maybe now they will use the powers provided to Congress to stand up to the president and provide relief to rural communities that have been devastated by the reckless trade wars.
The government has been shut down for 30 days.
Health insurance premiums are set to double for millions of Americans.
The president is withholding November SNAP benefits.
While Democrats have been in Washington & working to end the shutdown, House Republicans remain on their month-long vacation.
“President puts out fire he started, leaving many Americans burned and China stronger”

Powell: "Higher tariffs are pushing up prices in some categories of goods, resulting in higher overall inflation."
It’s about time that Republicans negotiated with Democrats to enact a bipartisan budget that will reopen government and lower health care costs.
The Speaker should end Republicans’ month-long vacation, reopen the House of Representatives, and join these talks.

Millions of Americans are learning that the cost of their health care plan is rising because of inaction from Republicans.
But rather than extend ACA tax credits that lower health care costs, Republicans have shut the government down.

We know that the Trump administration can continue to fund SNAP—because they did so the last time they shut the government down.
So why are they choosing to take food off the table of hardworking American families?

The president has the emergency funding necessary to keep SNAP running.
But instead of keeping food on the table, he’s illegally playing politics with the health of American families.
Democrats will keep fighting to ensure families are fed.

The president’s decision to bail out Argentina by giving them a $20 billion handout and buying their beef is undermining Missouri farmers and ranchers.
It’s certainly not “America First”
www.missourinet.com/2025/10/27/s...
Republicans already made the largest cut to federal food assistance programs in history earlier this year.
Now, their refusal to negotiate a bipartisan budget—and the administration’s refusal use contingency funding—is threatening food assistance for 42 million Americans that rely on SNAP.
As the president’s tariff taxes drive up prices & kill good-paying jobs, American families are struggling to make ends meet.
It’s about time that congressional Republicans worked with Democrats to pass a bipartisan budget that will lower health care costs & end the president’s reckless experiment.

@repfletcher.bsky.social and I are leading 100 of our colleagues in the fight to reverse this decision and return these investments to our communities.
It is Congress that has the power of the purse—and we won’t stop fighting to lower energy costs and boost economic activity in the heartland.
Congress created the Solar for All Program to expand solar energy output, create good-paying jobs, & lower energy costs for American families.
Earlier this year, the president illegally canceled $7 billion in Solar for All funding, including $156 million awarded to Missouri.
I'm fighting back.
These are the people who oversee our nuclear stockpile.
Instead of playing politics with our national security, the administration should keep these professionals on the job to keep our country safe.
cleaver.house.gov/media-center...
The administration’s decision to furlough nearly 80% of the National Nuclear Security Administration federal workforce, which has never happened before despite multiple government shutdowns, undermines our national security and hurts workers in #MO05.
I'm calling on them to reverse this action.
