Last night’s results show it’s time to put down the ballroom plans and pick UP the phone. Tell the USDA to FULLY fund November’s SNAP benefits - now. Then Mr. Art of the Deal should call House & Senate Democratic leaders to meet with him and NEGOTIATE an end to this shutdown.
Even if the Trump administration follows court orders and uses the SNAP contingency fund- it's like putting 5 miles' worth of gas in your tank when you need to make a 100-mile trip from Philly to Harrisburg. It's only a temporary patch that lets you get to the next gas station.
Hours before this, Trump threatened to keep withholding SNAP benefits illegally. Trump can FULLY release SNAP funds right now - millions of hungry children, seniors, veterans, and disabled Americans can't wait as his administration continues to play these political games.
Q: Trump wrote that SNAP benefits will only be given when Democrats reopen the government. As written, how would that not violate the court order? LEAVITT: I've now answered this question several times. We are complying with the court's order
Senate Democrats tried to pass a resolution pressuring the Trump administration to FULLY fund November SNAP benefits. Senate Republicans shot it down- allowing Trump to continue treating hungry Americans as political pawns during this #GOPShutdown. It’s shameful.
Nearly 500,000 Philadelphians rely on SNAP to put food on the table. That's why, alongside @congressmanboyle.bsky.social, @scanlon.house.gov, @repjordanharris.com and Rep. Krajewski, I called on the Trump administration to obey federal district court rulings and FULLY fund November SNAP benefits.

As Pennie open enrollment begins today, hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians are seeing their premiums skyrocket or getting priced out of health care coverage altogether. House Democrats want to extend ACA tax credits to STOP this shutdown of health care. Why don't most House Republicans?
THE REPUBLICAN HEALTH CARE CRISIS IS RAISING ANNUAL HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMS BY $28,680 FOR A 60 YEAR OLD COUPLE MAKING $82,000 A YEAR IN PENNSYLVANIA.
If the Trump administration cruelly and illegally chooses to withhold SNAP payments tomorrow, 2 million Pennsylvanians won’t receive the food assistance they’re counting on. I applaud Governor Shapiro’s swift actions to help Pennsylvanians in need at this time.
So, Trump decided that a $40 billion bailout to his right-wing foreign ally was “essential,” but feeding 42 million Americans- including 16 million children, 8 million seniors, and 1.2 million veterans isn’t. Is this what "America First" looks like in practice?
Trump called a $40 billion foreign bailout “essential” but is illegally choosing not to use billions in SNAP contingency funds to feed hungry Americans
“I’m scared,” Deardra, a Philly child care provider & @afscme.bsky.social member, told me. Deardra is one of the millions of Americans who rely on the ACA tax credits to afford their health care. Stories like hers are exactly why I am fighting to protect these tax credits.
