Two days ago, the Trump Administration said it would comply with two court orders and release SNAP emergency funds.
Now, he's contradicting his own Administration. Is Trump depriving hungry people of food assistance? Americans need their SNAP benefits and we need answers.

So you’re admitting there’s a “pro-Hitler” wing of the Republican Party?
While Democrats are fighting for our communities, Trump just broke his own record for the longest government shutdown.
Americans are suffering with rising food and health care costs.
Republicans must end the shutdown.
It's election day, Angelenos! If you haven't already voted, make sure your voice is heard.
Polls are open until 8pm. You can check your registration, find your polling place, and find out how to register and vote today here:
ICE and Border Patrol are out of control, and continue to be threats to public safety.
How does a U.S. citizen asking ICE to disperse so schoolchildren can get to their bus stop without being scared devolve into ICE shooting them?? We need answers.
Grateful these funds are finally going out, but it shouldn’t take two court orders for Trump to do the right thing. And funding shouldn’t be partial—especially after Republicans cut $186 billion from SNAP.
American families deserve better. End the shutdown & restore SNAP.
Each day Trump and Republicans prolong this shutdown, Angelenos like Alejandro risk losing vital lifelines like CalFresh.
I’ll keep fighting to reopen the federal government AND protect health care for my constituents.
“A little party never killed nobody” but your cuts to health care and threatening of SNAP funds will.
Open the government and protect our care NOW.
Our federal employees keep this nation running, yet Trump is punishing them during this government shutdown.
I stood with our TSA workers and air traffic controllers to call out this disgrace.
I’ll never stop fighting for our federal workers.
Glad to join this letter. All parties must be held accountable to fully implement the ceasefire agreement and build a path toward lasting peace so Israelis and Palestinians can live in freedom, security, and dignity in states of their own.
As we work to enforce two court orders directing Trump to release emergency SNAP funds, LA County is surging food assistance to those in need.
Food is available for pickup now at your local LA Regional Food Bank food pantry. Find the nearest one to you:
¡Feliz Día de los Muertos, LA!
Juntos honramos, celebramos y mantenemos viva la memoria de nuestros seres queridos con ofrendas, velas y cempasúchiles.
¡Disfruten las festividades!
Happy Día de los Muertos, LA!
Together, we honor, celebrate, keep our loved ones’ legacies alive with ofrendas, candles, and marigolds. Enjoy the festivities!
Two federal judges have ordered the Trump Administration to disburse SNAP emergency funds. Yet today, millions of Americans are still uncertain about where their next meal will come from without these benefits.
Trump must follow the law and release this funding NOW.
Trump is assaulting the free press at home and abroad, allowing disinformation to flourish around the world.
As Ranking Member of the subcommittee in charge of public diplomacy, I'll continue to hold Kari Lake accountable for her gutting of real news to make way for propaganda.
As the RSF's atrocities reach a fever pitch in Sudan, it's imperative that we act to stop this genocide, which I called on Sec. Blinken to designate last year. The US must hold the UAE accountable for its support of the RSF & halt weapons transfers until they stop arming the RSF.
The Senate agrees: Americans shouldn’t pay $10 for coffee to avenge Trump’s Brazilian boo. Yet, Speaker Johnson won't let us vote on my resolution with @meeks.house.gov to end the 50% tariffs.
Bolsonaro was convicted—why should Americans foot the bill for Trump’s attacks on democracy?
Sat down with @mariateresakumar.bsky.social to find out if Trump's Texas powergrab is legal.
Turns out—unlike California's redistricting effort—that sh*t ain't legal.
Boo! It's the tariffs. 👻
What's really spooky this spooky season is how much everything costs thanks to Trump. Happy Halloween! 🎃
