Today’s court ruling rightly orders the Trump administration to release $4.6 billion in SNAP contingency funds so families can get the food aid that has been in limbo since November 1. The administration must now follow the law, restore full benefits, and stop using hunger as a political weapon.

No family in Maryland’s Fourth District should ever go hungry because of politics.
From the Capital Area Food Bank and the LindaBen Foundation in Beltsville to Central Baptist Church of Camp Springs converting its gym into a food distribution site, our community continues to show what real leadership and compassion look like.
When the Trump Administration illegally withheld food benefits, Prince George’s County didn’t wait around—we stepped up for one another.
Today’s court decision confirms what we’ve been fighting for all along: no American should be used as a bargaining chip. Millions of families depend on SNAP to eat, and this ruling makes clear that the administration must use the funds available to keep food on the table for those in need.
Mayor Vivian Dodson was a trailblazer — the first woman and African American elected mayor of Capitol Heights & a true servant of the people. Known as “The People’s Mayor,” she led with strength, grace, and heart. Deepest condolences to her family, friends, and all who were inspired by her legacy.
Open enrollment starts Nov. 1—and Marylanders face a drastic spike in health insurance costs. We need to extend the ACA tax credits now.
Billions for Argentina.
Nothing for hungry Americans.
The Trump administration found $40 billion for foreign banks — but can’t find the funds to keep SNAP benefits flowing at home.

Maryland partners with a variety of food assistance programs across the state. These resources are available during the federal government shutdown and remain active for new participants.
Grateful to the Capital Area Food Bank and community partners for standing with our federal workers during this difficult time.
While Republicans keep the government closed, families are feeling the pain. It’s time to reopen the government and get people the stability they deserve.
I joined my colleagues in demanding that Secretary Rollins release the funds for November SNAP benefits. In my district, more than half of SNAP households have children, & a third include seniors or people with disabilities. They deserve better.
29 days into this shutdown, families are feeling the pain. Health care costs are rising. SNAP funding is on the line. It’s time for Trump and House Republicans to stop weaponizing hunger and start working with us to reopen the government and lower costs for everyone.
#EndTheShutdown #ProtectSNAP
Capital Area Food Bank and community partners, including local farmers who contribute fresh produce, continue to support federal workers across Maryland during this crisis.
The Trump administration is pushing families closer to hunger by threatening SNAP during this shutdown, and leaders like Radha, Pastor and First Lady Carter, Congressman Hoyer and I refuse to accept that.
Thank you to Capital Area Food Bank’s CEO Radha Muthiah, Congressman Steny Hoyer, Pastor Carter and First Lady Pam Carter of No Limits Ministries for standing with federal workers at today’s pop up distribution. No one who serves this country should have to worry about groceries.
The Trump administration is choosing to cut off SNAP benefits while families are struggling to put food on the table. That is cruel, irresponsible, and illegal. @housedemocrats.bsky.social will fight to make sure no one in America goes hungry.
Thank you to Nonprofit Prince George’s County, Executive Director Tiffany Turner, and FBCG’s Shabach! Ministries for bringing together leaders who keep our communities fed and supported. Nonprofits are essential partners in the fight against food insecurity, especially during this shutdown.
Republicans are blocking affordable health care and federal worker pay while protecting tax breaks for billionaires. Extend ACA tax credits. Reopen the government. Pay workers what they are owed. It’s that simple.
Supporting STEM education is critical for America's future because it fuels innovation, drives our economy, & ensures we remain a global leader.
