Republicans want to starve children to pressure Democrats into gutting healthcare.
How do we know?
Mike Johnson just admitted it.

Republicans weaponizing hunger: Trump refuses to use billions of dollars in the SNAP contingency fund, Senate Republicans block a bill to fund SNAP & WIC, and the House can’t even pass a bill to fund SNAP because it’s Day 41 of Speaker Johnson keeping us out of voting session. #GOPShutdown
“Funds are available for [SNAP] program operations even in the event of a government shutdown"- This was DIRECTLY from Trump's USDA- but they deleted it from the website.
Trump isn't trying to “mitigate harm.” He's illegally choosing not to pay November SNAP benefits & covering it up!
It’s a hollow gesture to introduce bills like this UNLESS it’s coupled with calling for Speaker Johnson to end House Republicans’ 40-day paid vacation and open the House again for votes. #GOPShutdown
More details on Trump canceling 94 million pounds of aid for food banks earlier this year:
Trump already canceled 94 million pounds of aid for food banks AND cut $186 billion in SNAP funding in his Big Ugly law.
Now he refuses to fund Nov. SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans. Even before the shutdown, feeding hungry families wasn't a priority for Trump.
Millions of Americans are about to see their premiums skyrocket, millions more are on the brink of hunger, our air traffic controllers & other federal workers just missed their paychecks... and House Republicans are on day 40 of their vacation.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
BS. With open enrollment starting this week, this is a HUGE issue.
Here’s the truth directly from Pennie: “If EPTCs are allowed to expire this year…when taking 2026 premium increases into account, the actual cost increase for enrollees will be 102% on average.”

Don’t forget the deadline to enter the Congressional App Challenge is this Thursday, Oct. 30 at 8pm!
To learn more about the competition and how to enter, visit my website:
“If my premiums go up any further, and I can afford neither the premiums nor my medication, it will affect my ability to work, to care for my husband, and to care for myself,” a North Philly resident told my office.
This is exactly why I’m fighting to protect the ACA tax credits.
Our seniors, veterans, and children should not be used as pawns by this administration.
Thank you, Governor Shapiro, for taking legal action to demand Trump use the BILLIONS in available funds to pay next month’s SNAP benefits & ensure nearly 2 million Pennsylvanians can put food on the table.
Is this some of the aforementioned “most meaningful work” of House Republicans’ careers? Picking up new hobbies like leaf blowing??
Today is Day 39 of NO voting session in the House. #GOPShutdown
Hey #Philly: If you are planning to vote by mail in the upcoming election, tomorrow is the last day to request a mail-in ballot!📬
The deadline to apply is Tuesday, Oct. 28 at 5 PM. Go to vote.phila.gov/votebymail to apply online, or stop by any Satellite Election Office to apply in person.
Let's be clear: the Trump administration has BILLIONS of dollars available to fund SNAP- they are just choosing not to.
If they don't act, 42 million Americans- including 500,000 Philadelphians- will struggle to put food on the table next month.
This is not a game!
Glad to see one of my PA colleagues from across the aisle calling on Congress to “get back to work.”
Beyond tackling the debt- in the short term, we must end the shutdown of federal services, ensure all our federal workers are paid, and stop the shutdown of health care for millions of Americans.

@RepSmucker
I joined WDAC this week to discuss why it’s critical for Congress to get back to work and tackle our nation’s national debt crisis. Listen here [downward arrow emoji]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did%3Aplc%3Ahmstk6czb32dv4xjx4s3xhda/bafkreicpthkli7nto6uoidkaihhxga72ozzlbzexq5wmkc6yaywip2atpy@jpeg)
Could we get some examples of this “most meaningful work”? More meaningful than passing the 9 out of 12 annual funding bills the House still hasn't passed? More meaningful than stopping the looming shutdown of health care for 24 million Americans?
