As the Republican shutdown drags on, the Trump Administration is doubling down on their cruel choice to ignore a federal court order demanding they provide SNAP benefits for November. They may be willing to abandon vulnerable Americans, but my Democratic colleagues and I will not. [1/3]

I’m grateful to Amber Stott of the Food Literacy Center and Sam Greenlee of Alchemist CDC for stepping up when our neighbors need it most.
They truly reflect Sacramento’s spirit of care and community—and I’ll always work to make sure they have the resources to continue their vital mission.
The Trump administration has made a deliberate choice to not feed the American people. Even when directed by a judge to do so—they’re still doing the bare minimum to support the most vulnerable Americans.
I will never stop calling them out and fighting to keep food on your table.
As this flag flies over City Hall, it will stand as a promise; that sovereignty will be respected, tribal voices will be heard, and that we believe in a future built on partnership, justice, and truth. [3/3]
Wilton Rancheria endured displacement and injustice, yet through it all, they never allowed their culture or their connection to this region to be lost. [2/3]
I was honored to stand with Jesus Tarango, Chairman of the Wilton Rancheria Tribe, and the City of Elk Grove to celebrate their sovereignty and raise the flag of Wilton Rancheria.
For generations, Tribal Nations have fought to be seen and heard in their own land. [1/3]
The Constitution is clear; the President cannot impose his will on our state's elections. This was nothing more than another unconstitutional attempt by the Trump administration to expand their power and control our elections. I am very happy to see that the courts have checked that attempt.
The Great Gatsby is a cautionary tale about moral decay and unchecked narcissism.
The Trump administration thinks that’s something to celebrate while they refuse to feed the American people.
I’m standing united with Congressional Democrats to lower your costs. I’ve always fought to expand coverage and make care affordable, and I’m not stopping now. [2/2]
Today kicks off #CoveredCalifornia open enrollment. But because of Republican attacks on health care, thousands of Sacramentans are about to face serious sticker shock.
If Republicans don’t come to the table and help extend the enhanced premium tax credits, costs will only continue to rise.
[1/2]
Republicans demand “work requirements” for struggling families to access vital Medicaid and SNAP benefits.
Meanwhile, they can’t even bother to show up for work for weeks on end.
It’s pathetic. The hypocrisy and cruelty is off the charts.
It cannot be said enough: the Trump Administration can fund SNAP for November. They are making a conscious choice not to.
Republicans have SNAP contingency funds that would keep kids fed this month and they refuse to release them.
Let's keep it simple. Republicans are choosing to make health care unaffordable, and they are willing to keep the government shut down and make people suffer. This is not a policy choice, it's just cruel.
No vote needed. No politics needed. All that is needed is basic compassion to keep food on our hero’s tables. [2/2]
Thousands of active-duty military members and 1.2 million veterans rely on SNAP to keep themselves and their families fed. The Trump administration will own their suffering if they choose not to release the contingency fund. [1/2]
They didn’t come close to passing the 12 appropriations bills. Instead, they shut down the government.
Republicans started this chaos. Now they’re running from the mess they created. [2/2]
Speaker Johnson and House Republicans have called votes only 12 days since July 25th. They haven’t worked since September 19th.
They control the House, the Senate, and the White House.[1/2]
Republicans already gutted $186 billion from SNAP in the Big Ugly Bill. Now the Trump Administration is doubling down, letting 42 million Americans go hungry while they can prevent it.
The Trump Administration somehow found $40 billion to bail out Argentina yet refuses to use $6 billion in congressionally approved contingency funds to prevent 42 million Americans from going hungry.
It’s indefensible. Their priorities are shameful.
The Trump Administration has the ability to fully fund SNAP for the month of November. Instead, they are CHOOSING to be cruel and allow 42 million Americans to go hungry.
