The Trump Administration has been trying to cut and gut SNAP for a long time now.
It should come as no surprise that they aren’t willing to use the $5 billion emergency fund that exists for moments like this to ensure that 40 million people in this country don’t go hungry.

My statement on the newly announced trade deal between the US and South Korea.
Thanks for the great questions on my Reddit AMA yesterday. Loved the opportunity to talk favorite books, high fives vs. fist bumps, and all things music.
Republicans have left the building.
Trump has left the country.
It's clear they're OK if you can't afford healthcare.
It's clear they're OK if federal workers don't get paid.
And, it's clear they're OK if millions of kids go hungry.
It's clear they don't care about you.
The US government should work with its international partners to address the humanitarian situation and end this terrible conflict. 2/2
With at least 150,00 killed and millions displaced, the humanitarian crisis in Sudan continues to worsen. I am appalled by the reports of atrocities and the disregard for human life in this conflict. The people of Sudan have suffered immensely. 1/2
On the 13th anniversary of Superstorm Sandy, I remember the damage, destruction, the lives lost. I also remember a unified effort to aid survivors.
Natural disasters aren't going away. We must continue to invest in a FEMA truly suited to the needs of people and communities impacted.
Even Speaker Johnson’s own Republican House members want to come back, negotiate healthcare, and save SNAP.
You can only suppress your own members—and the American people—for so long.
Bring the House back NOW.
Check out a few answers from my Reddit AMA this morning about SNAP, healthcare, and the shutdown.
More to come.
In New Jersey, people are seeing an average of a 174% increase in healthcare costs that would be catastrophic to their families. I am here in the Capitol to work on their behalf.
Where are Speaker Johnson and House Republicans? This is their job too.
Letting people go hungry in this shutdown is a choice Trump is intentionally making.
He could tell the USDA to use contingency funds to ensure families get their SNAP benefits on November 1st, he’s just choosing not to.
Speaker Johnson has kept the House home for 38 days. He is intentionally preventing your representatives from doing the work you elected them to do.
What would happen if you didn’t show up to work for 38 days?
In New Jersey, healthcare premiums rates will increase on average by 174%.
This is devastating. And, it’s exactly why we have to continue to stand up right now and give families the relief they deserve.
7 years after the horrific Tree of Life synagogue shooting, we remember the 11 lives that were lost. Today, I think of these families and communities, and of the work we must continue to do as a country to combat antisemitism in every form.
Trump could ensure people don’t go hungry, he’s just choosing not to.
Just like Speaker Johnson could bring House Republicans back to work to lower healthcare costs, he's just choosing not to.
The American people don’t have the luxury to choose.
Trump and Congressional Republicans are playing with YOUR money – “terminating” critical infrastructure projects like the Gateway Tunnel Project, while also refusing to lower your healthcare costs.
Full conversation with Heather Cox Richardson on YouTube.
This isn’t about election integrity, it’s about the Trump Administration trying to intimidate voters and cast doubt on our legitimate and secure democratic process. —AK 2/2
There is no credibility to the Department of Justice’s announcement made just hours before Donald Trump holds a campaign event with Jack Ciattarelli. This is clearly a political act led by election denier Pam Bondi. 1/2
They just care more about protecting Donald Trump’s corrupt spending and their own paychecks than they do your ability to put food on the table or go to the doctor when you’re sick.
The choice they’ve made is crystal clear. 2/2
This will be catastrophic for millions of Americans and the House Republicans who have taken over a month of paid vacation funded by your taxpayer dollars, know it. 1/2
