Shared the important contributions of Lebanese-Americans in our NW Ohio communities with new Lebanese Ambassador to the United States Nada Hamadeh Moawad. I invited Ambassador Moawad and her team to visit our region so we can forge new global relationships for the future.

The withdrawal of American troops in Eastern Europe leaves our NATO allies vulnerable and sends a dangerous signal. This allows Dictator Putin to have his way as Russia continues its illegal aggression in Ukraine. President Trump must rethink this decision before it is too late.

U.S. to withdraw some troops from Romania, NATO’s eastern flank

It is the first announcement of the Trump administration’s plans to scale back forces in Europe, where the U.S. has underpinned security since World War II.

At Speaker Johnson newser, I wanted to find out why the GOP are denying SNAP food assistance for more than 42 Million nationwide and keeping the government shut down rather than protecting health care prices from skyrocketing over 200% for working families. He scurried out the side door.

Marcy Kaptur@repmarcykaptur.bsky.socialOct 29(source)

Speaker Johnson must reopen the House and allow negotiations toward bipartisan compromise before it is too late. The health care of millions of Americans depends on it!

Marcy Kaptur@repmarcykaptur.bsky.socialOct 28(source)

A $40 Billion bail out for Argentina and foreign beef purchases to flood your supermarkets and only now the GOP recognizes their policies are wiping out our farmers and American families. Out of touch doesn't do it justice.

Marcy Kaptur@repmarcykaptur.bsky.socialOct 28(source)

The House hasn’t been in session for more than a month and now Speaker Johnson and Leader Thune say that it is a “waste of time” to vote on legislation to ensure SNAP food assistance reaches more than 42 million nationwide including over 185,000 in NW Ohio next month. The time to act is now!

Johnson: Stand-alone SNAP, federal salary bills a ‘waste of our time’

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Tuesday dismissed any stand-alone bills seeking to pay federal workers or fund assistance programs during the government shutdown. These bills stretch from pro…

As the Republican led government shutdown continues, President Trump and the USDA are making the problem worse for those most in need of food assistance. If the GOP does not act, federal food assistance benefits will expire on November 1st. Over 42 Million Americans rely on SNAP as a vital lifeline.

Trump administration posts notice that no federal food aid will go out Nov. 1

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has posted a notice on its website saying federal food aid will not go out Nov. 1 as the government shutdown drags on

Empty shelves. Higher prices. Families cutting back on groceries and skipping meals. Reckless tariffs aren’t helping; they’re failing. From baby formula to car tires, the cost of living keeps climbing while promises of affordability ring hollow. Will the GOP wake up and hear their struggle?

‘Empty shelves, higher prices’: Americans tell of cost of Trump’s tariffs

US consumers say price rises caused by president’s tariffs contradict his promise to make life more affordable

I grew up helping at our family owned grocery store, and saw how connecting people with healthy foods from small family owned markets can uplift communities. Our new local effort will also give NW Ohio farmers, producers and growers markets for their fruits, vegetables and grains to reach consumers.

Costs are exploding and people need relief. If the President can take a break from knocking down the East Wing and ballroom planning, I'd love to show him our district where many of his supporters need his help.

This sends a signal that freedom-loving nations agree Russian aggression must stop. Dictator Vladimir Putin’s troops must return to inside Russia’s own borders and return the over 20,000 Ukrainian children Russia brutishly kidnapped.

U.S. Imposes Substantial New Sanctions on Russian Oil Giants

The measures against Lukoil and Rosneft come as negotiations over ending the war in Ukraine have stalled.

I think ranchers understand plenty: their livelihoods are threatened by high production input costs, low herd volumes, and tariffs choking the US Farm economy. Maybe it’s the $40 Billion you’re sending to Argentina to prop up its markets that’s got them a little out of sorts, Mr. President.

Marcy Kaptur@repmarcykaptur.bsky.socialOct 22(source)

This isn’t about politics—it’s about consequences. Republicans control the House, Senate, and Presidency. They are keeping the government closed. Republicans chose this shutdown—veterans are paying the price. 5

Marcy Kaptur@repmarcykaptur.bsky.socialOct 22(source)

Roughly 30% of our federal workforce (600,000 veterans) are being hit TWICE by this shutdown: missing paychecks and losing access to basic services. Trump is using this crisis to threaten more cuts, even as the VA has already lost 30,000 employees. Further losses are critically dangerous. 4

Marcy Kaptur@repmarcykaptur.bsky.socialOct 22(source)

The VA is failing to process GI Bill tuition and housing payments, leaving student veterans unable to pay rent or stay enrolled. This breaks VA’s own assurances that benefits would continue during the shutdown. Families struggling while answers and accountability never come? That's not stability. 3

Marcy Kaptur@repmarcykaptur.bsky.socialOct 22(source)

1.6 Million veterans rely on Medicaid, and 600,000 more get coverage through the ACA. Most won’t be exempt from new Medicaid work rules, and 267,000 could completely lose insurance when tax credits expire. Cutting these programs abandons veterans who served our nation. 2

Marcy Kaptur@repmarcykaptur.bsky.socialOct 22(source)

🧵 Veterans, like everyone else, are being hurt by this reckless shutdown. VA hospitals stay open, but GI Bill payments are stalled, casework is ignored, and thousands of veteran federal workers are missing paychecks. Our heroes deserve stability and respect, not to be used as a means of leverage. 1

Marcy Kaptur@repmarcykaptur.bsky.socialOct 22(source)

While Secretary Hegseth is out joyriding on $25,000 per hour fighter jets, we have enlisted troops on track for missed paychecks while families are worried about how to afford to put food on the table. Help me make this make sense!?!? Speaker Johnson needs to call the House back, now!

Marcy Kaptur@repmarcykaptur.bsky.socialOct 21(source)

Already struggling with high food prices, 108,000 northwest Ohio families and farmers now face cuts to nutrition support as the GOP shutdown continues. Ohio’s "Rainy Day Fund" could safeguard SNAP benefits but Washington and Columbus would rather protect the Billionaires than open the government.
