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.

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.
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.
