Nancy Pelosi was the greatest speaker in the history of the Congress. I was proud to vote for her(my first vote in Congress) the first female speaker ,the honorable Nancy Pelosi. I will miss her as will the nation. thank you Nancy.

Trump filed an appeal JUST YESTERDAY on a court order mandating him to fully fund SNAP. And they expect you to believe it's the Democrats fault? It's pretty clear who's trying to take food away from children, seniors & people with disabilities—it's the ones actively denying them food assistance.

The Trump administration is now literally *fighting* to deny food to 42 million people, more than a third of them children. Read that again. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...
NYT headline: Judge Orders Trump Administration to Fully Fund Food Stamps This Month The Justice Department later said it would appeal, leaving the program known as SNAP in limbo.

Flights are being cut because the GOP shutdown left air traffic controllers unpaid. They’re doing their jobs under impossible stress while Trump plays politics to push budget cuts. I wrote the #AviationFundingStabilityAct to keep the FAA running even in a shutdown—Speaker Johnson won’t allow a vote

Five weeks into the GOP shutdown and Republicans still refuse to negotiate. They’d rather starve poor people and kids who depend on SNAP than restore the health care tax credits that help 81,000 people in Memphis afford coverage—all to pay for tax breaks for some of the wealthiest people on earth.

🚨BREAKING: SNAP must be paid NOW. This is what we've been pressing for, but it’s not over. Trump was trying to use these people as hostages by taking away their food—he has a penchant for cruelty. We have to keep the pressure on & make sure this administration follows through. Lives depend on it.

You have to ask: why keep the House locked during a shutdown? We could vote to fund SNAP, pay our troops, reopen government. But Speaker Johnson knows once we’re back, Democrats will have the votes to swear in Adelita Grijalva—and release the Epstein files. That’s why we’re in recess.

I’ve been in DC nearly all week. Haven’t seen a single one of my Republican colleagues. The GOP shut down the government to protect tax cuts for billionaires—and now Speaker Johnson’s literally locked the doors so we can't even vote to feed families on SNAP, or pay our troops and federal workers.
Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialOct 28(source)
690k Tennesseans are on the verge of losing SNAP in the Republican Shutdown, and the GOP won't even call the House back into session. Meanwhile, Gov. Lee is sitting on a $2 BILLION rainy-day fund that could help keep families fed—but says he won't spend a dime. I'm urging him to reconsider ⬇️
Steve Cohen@repcohen.bsky.socialOct 23(source)
This shutdown is about one thing: protecting tax cuts for the wealthy. Trump has billions he could use to keep SNAP funded in Nov. So does TN Governor Bill Lee. But the GOP would rather let families miss SNAP and go hungry than restore the ACA tax credits they gutted to pay for those tax cuts.

NOT MY PROBLEM! @govbilllee says he won’t touch Tennessee’s $2 BILLION savings account to feed 700,000 children, low-income working parents & disabled Tennesseans if the #TrumpShutdown continues into November www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

Senator Jeff Merkley, Democrat of Oregon, concluded a marathon speech on the Senate floor Wednesday evening after 22 hours and 37 minutes, saying he was “ringing the alarm bells” on the arrival of authoritarianism under President Trump.

In Opinion “The United States is cutting off the kind of foreign aid that keeps children alive for 12 cents a day, but it’s willing to invest far larger sums in a dubious effort to prop up a distant economy — while effectively subsidizing tycoons who made bad investments,” Nicholas Kristof writes.
Opinion | Trump Revives Foreign Aid, Helping Needy Billionaires
As children die for want of cheap medicines, the U.S. spends billions on Argentina — thus rescuing rich investors who made bad bets.
