Trump is adding a hunger crisis to the health care crisis he already has underway.
A President who claims power to do most anything could certainly intervene to protect SNAP benefits and prevent harm to many desperate families during this wholly unjustified GOP government shutdown.

It should come as no surprise that the Trump administration will not save SNAP or healthcare for millions of Americans. Hunger and diseases that stalk small children are already surging after he dismantled the agency that helps the world's poorest countries with food and care, killing thousands.
A GOP government shutdown is spiking health insurance premiums for millions of Americans, forcing families to go hungry, and requiring federal employees to work without pay.
Republicans must join Democrats in negotiating for a reasonable solution that serves Americans' best interests, not Trump's.
DACA recipients serve our communities as nurses, teachers, small business owners, and more.
It's unconscionable that a pediatric nurse in Austin, who cares for sick children, must live in fear because Republicans refuse to earnestly work with Democrats on comprehensive immigration reform.
More ground stops of up to 90 minutes for our Austin airport means more inconvenience and more evidence of our need for more air traffic controllers, since we have less than half of those needed to meet FAA recommendations.
As Trump takes a wrecking ball to our White House, more and more of our neighbors are expressing concern that he’s doing the very same thing to their health insurance policies.
Our families deserve steady leadership, not shutdowns and self-serving stunts.
The well-justified concerns of the Daily Texan Editorial Board are amplified by Greg Abbott’s removal of the senior vice provost for academic affairs, a 27-year UT employee, for “ideological differences."
UT's duty should be towards its students & faculty, not the Republican indoctrination agenda.
In 2023, the founder of the crypto exchange Binance pled guilty to money laundering, helping Hamas, Al Qaeda and ISIS finance terrorist activities. This year, he and his pals in the Middle East invested $2B in Trump’s crypto firm World Liberty Financial.
The President’s corruption knows no bounds.
The Republican government shutdown is driving up health care costs, with premiums soaring by as much as $20,000 more a year for some families.
The GOP agenda: more tax cuts for billionaires, more medical debt for more working families.
Trump is adding a hunger crisis to the health care crisis he created. On Monday until the end of Nov, 3.7M Texans, who rely on SNAP, will lose assistance.
Trump can prevent this by using his contingency funding & transfer authority—moving as quickly as he did to give Argentina a $40B bailout.
With Trump’s second term, there has rarely been a better time to be a billionaire. He will cut Medicaid to lower your taxes, exempt your business from tariffs for your WH ballroom donation & cut aid for starving children in Africa to bail out your investment in Argentina.
Everyone else can suffer.
Some Trump priorities.
Health emergencies occur at all ages, but young adults are less likely to have the funds to pay for care as they struggle with student debt, a housing crisis, and inflation.
Republicans are worsening the economic crisis for young people as they take away health coverage for millions.
Another half step will not stop Putin’s strikes on Ukraine. All Putin will understand is when Trump begins delivering Ukraine much-needed weapons/air defense, and when he finally permits his GOP Congress to approve broad sanctions legislation on which they have been awaiting his blessing for months.
Sen. Rand Paul is justified in complaining that he’s the only Republican who has “any guts to stand up and tell the president the truth.”
Truth is the first casualty during a Trump regime. Most GOP members seem to have forgotten they swore an oath to the Constitution, not a wannabe king.
Under the guise of "waste, fraud and abuse," Republicans took a chainsaw to government services upon which Americans depend, with mass-firing of thousands.
Meanwhile, Trump's Secretary of Homeland Security is spending $172 million for not one but TWO private jets.
Important insights on Trump/ Abbott’s dismantling of UT, which has powered our economy for nearly 150 years. “Those who see higher education as a threat are intervening directly — breaking norms, rules and even constitutional protections — to suppress and punish controversial opinions.”
An estimated 7-8 million people from all walks of life made their voices heard this weekend to ensure our democracy is not undermined by a wannabe King.
Trump’s disrespect of Americans with his disgusting video will not deter our commitment to our country. Joined CNN to discuss what’s at stake.
While Republicans spewed lies about No Kings Day, designed to discourage participation, millions of Americans peacefully and safely made their voices heard against harmful Trump-GOP policies.
Austin, like many cities across the country, had zero arrests, zero violence.
“Only the best people.” - Trump
Trump nominee to be his special counsel concedes he personally does have “a Nazi streak."
What better choice for a president who says he wants his generals to be more like Hitler’s.
