It was clear to everyone that Trump's corporate-funded ballroom was a magnet for corruption. Now, there's proof of wealthy donors using it to try to buy policy wins from the administration. Trump's East Wing is becoming the epicenter of the swamp.
1 in 4 American kids receive SNAP benefits, and they're going hungry in the richest nation on earth because Trump is refusing to make food assistance available to them. Our littlest Americans shouldn't suffer because of Trump's vindictiveness during this Republican shutdown.
I'm appalled to learn of the new famine declarations in El-Fasher and Kadugli town in Sudan that have put 375,000 people on the brink of starvation. An immediate surge of humanitarian aid is needed, and all groups must put down their weapons and commit to ending this war. www.npr.org/2025/11/03/g...
No, throwing a Great Gatsby-themed party at his gold-plated club while 42 million Americans lose their SNAP benefits isn’t President Trump’s "obligation," Speaker Johnson. It’s just careless.
Trump promised to reduce prices and improve the economy. He's done the opposite – and Americans know it.
New polling reveals 61% of voters think Trump has made the economy worse: "It seems we've finally come upon something that most Americans agree upon, and that is a central theme of Trump's winning message a year ago, 'I will bring costs down,' just simply has not happened."
From Georgia to Virginia to Pennsylvania, the voters spoke clearly: they’re fed up with high costs and Trump’s broken promises that he’d make America more affordable. So why is his administration in court today defending his tariffs that are raising costs on everyday goods for American families?
Last night, voters across the country made clear they’re concerned about Trump’s failure to address the cost of living. Trump’s response? Going over to the Supreme Court today to defend his tariffs that are increasing costs for American families by thousands of dollars.
@mcbride.house.gov and I agree: Trump defying a court order to take food off the table for 42 million Americans is unbelievably cruel—especially weeks before Thanksgiving.
Open enrollment has officially begun and millions of Americans are seeing their premiums double or even triple next year—all because Republicans are refusing to open the government and extend ACA tax credits. Head over to healthcare.gov and see the damage yourself.
Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House. They're trying to unilaterally withhold money for SNAP and lay off thousands of workers. Of course Americans of all stripes are holding them responsible for this shutdown.
First, Trump cut hundreds of billions of dollars from SNAP. ⁣ ⁣ Then, he tried to stop paying food assistance entirely.⁣ ⁣ Now, he has to be dragged kicking and screaming by the courts to make just half of SNAP's payments.⁣ ⁣ Why doesn't he want hungry Americans to be able to eat?
I'm glad Governor @mattmeyerde.bsky.social and Delaware are stepping up to fill the void after Trump let SNAP lapse — but it’s only temporary. Republicans are trying to let families go hungry instead of working with us to reopen the government. whyy.org/articles/del...
Two federal judges in two different states both just ruled that Trump has to use emergency funds set aside for SNAP to actually fund SNAP. He can’t refuse to use them just to score political points. This is great news for everyone who doesn’t want hungry American families to go without food.
I’m horrified by the atrocities of the ongoing civil war in Sudan and the recent reports of ethnic cleansing and the murder of thousands of civilians by the RSF and allied militias around El-Fasher.
This week, I spoke with Jan, a Delaware business owner and stage 4 cancer survivor, who told me that without the ACA, she wouldn’t have survived. If rates double, her 30-year business closes. Stories like hers underscore the urgency of protecting health care and reopening the government.
