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

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown. Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.
Congressman Dwight Evans@repdwightevans.bsky.socialOct 30(source)
“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!

Q: In the last Trump shutdown, he made sure SNAP benefits went out. Why do you think he shouldn't do that this time? MIKE JOHNSON: The president has done exactly what he did in the first term, and that is bend over backward to make sure we mitigate the harm. The money doesn't exist to do it.

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.
Trump’s HUGE to do list: Cut $186 billion from SNAP (checked) Cancel 94 million pounds of aid for food banks (checked) Use billions in contingency funds to keep benefits going (crossed out in red ink) Let 42 million Americans go hungry (checked)

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!
House Republicans have been on vacation for 40 days

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.”
Map of every county in Pennsylvania with the net premium percent change for Pennie 2026 Open Enrollment- without federal action to extend the ACA tax credits. Philadelphia county is highlighted where rates will raise an estimated 116%

Q: Unless ACA subsidies are extended, the average plan will increase by somewhere around 115% DR OZ: Where'd you get that number? Q: Kaiser Family Foundation OZ: They retracted that. Here's the truth. The average American who's on ACA is gonna pay $13 more than this year. That's not a big issue

“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.
I can barely afford my current premiums, but I really can't afford to go without health insurance. I take specialty medication for Rheumatoid Arthritis that I cannot physically function without. 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.

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.

On Saturday — for the first time in history — nearly two million Pennsylvanians won’t receive the SNAP benefits they need to feed their families because President Trump is using their food assistance as a political bargaining chip.

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
IT’S ELECTRIC — Republican House members have been picking up new hobbies while waiting out the shutdown in their districts, Playbook’s Dasha Burns writes in. Among the most popular: the art of leaf blowing, according to a source close to Republican representatives. Lawmakers are discovering the advent of electric leaf blowers. Several were initially concerned about the political implications of switching from gas to electric, but apparently in the domain of household appliances, the switch to a quieter more efficient tool that doesn’t wake the kids and anger the neighbors is worth it.

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? #GOPShutdown

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!
“I am grateful for my SNAP benefits and wanted you to know that it's going to be a tremendous burden for my household in November 2025. It's the choice of paying a bill or buying food.” - Germantown Senior “SNAP is fortunately so helpful to our communities. More than food on the table, it provides daily roles of food nutrition and balance.” - Philadelphia College Student “I am a retired senior citizen who relies on SNAP benefits to supplement my Social Security only income. SNAP is vital for the elderly like myself as well as low-income families with children in the Philadelphia area.” - Southwest Philadelphia Senior

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.
Rep. Lloyd Smucker @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]

RAJU: Why not bring members back to DC to do the work they're elected to do? MIKE JOHNSON: We're evaluating this day by day. The House did its work. House Republicans are doing some of the most meaningful work of their careers. I don't want to pull them away from it.
