Trump is refusing to comply with a court order to fund SNAP, despite having the funds to ensure folks are fed through Nov. I convened food providers in the #MA7 who could go under as a result. Republicans are letting families go hungry & devastating local economies. Their shutdown must end NOW.

Shameful and unlawful. Trump is trying to defy a court order and refusing to fund SNAP during the shutdown HE and Republicans created. He is literally weaponizing hunger to harm our families, and the cruelty is the point.

Trump and Republicans' govt shutdown and refusal to fully fund SNAP isn't just leaving families hungry. It's also threatening the small businesses who feed them and destroying local economies. Republicans must end their government shutdown NOW and keep our families fed.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govNov 3(source)

It is damning that it took a court order for Trump to act on SNAP during Republicans' govt shutdown. And he is still only funding partial benefits for families who need food assistance. Trump must FULLY fund SNAP benefits and Republicans should end this shameful shutdown NOW.

It's been over a month that federal workers & contractors have gone without pay. They've had to take out loans, work side gigs, & visit food pantries to make ends meet. Why? Because Trump & Republicans refuse to negotiate to reopen the govt & save healthcare for millions.

Federal workers are turning to low-cost loans to help tide them over financially as the U.S. government shutdown drags on.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govNov 2(source)

Our federal workers & contractors are headed into another month without pay. I shared a meal with a few @unitehere.org workers, many of whom work in food service, to hear how this GOP shutdown has impacted them. My bill would ensure they get their rightful backpay once the govt reopens.

Democrats are in this shutdown fight because healthcare is on the line. Healthcare is a human right and accessing it is literally a matter of life and death. Here's how much premiums will skyrocket in the #MA7 if Trump & Republicans get their way:

A graphic that reads:

Trump's healthcare crisis will send premiums skyrocketing in the MA-07.

Here's how:

For a 60 year old couple earning $82,800 a year, annual premiums will rise by $14,570.

For a family of four earning $64,000 a year, annual premiums will rise by $2,571.

For a family of four earning $129,800 a year, annual premiums will rise by $9,634.

Trump and Republicans' govt shutdown could leave families in the #MA7 hungry. 100K households. 50K children. 44K individuals with disabilities. 38K elders. To find a food bank or support your neighbors, visit Mass.gov/SNAPFreeze or call @projectbread.org at 1-800-645-8333.

There is a genocide & humanitarian crisis in Sudan. The reports of mass killings, starvation, and displacement in El Fasher are horrifying. The US must hold the UAE & any other arms dealers to the RSF accountable and act urgently to save lives.

1 month of Republicans' govt shutdown: Federal workers & contractors unpaid, empty food pantries, unpaid medical bills. Tomorrow, 42M people could loose food assistance if Trump CHOOSES not to fund SNAP. Republicans, we've been ready to reopen the govt & protect families. Step up.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govOct 31(source)

Good. Trump had no excuse to cut off food assistance other than his own cruelty and contempt for families. @usdagov.bsky.social must comply NOW and keep our communities fed.

We all know a hungry child can't learn. But Republicans' government shutdown is threatening SNAP and Head Start—forcing parents out of work and kids to go hungry. This hurt and harm is undeniable—and it's 100% preventable.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govOct 30(source)

If Republicans fail to save healthcare: Nearly 300,000 people in Massachusetts will face higher premiums and over 400,000 will lose healthcare entirely. Trump & Republicans are making people sicker & more vulnerable. They must reopen the govt & address this healthcare crisis.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.govOct 29(source)

Trump thought he could use the government shutdown he created to purge our federal workforce. The law says otherwise. This is a victory for our dedicated federal workers & we won’t stop until every federal worker unjustly fired by this Administration has been reinstated.

At Orchard Gardens, a public school in Roxbury, I asked the school nurses what the #1 issue is for kids who come to them. Their response? Hunger. Republicans are worsening this crisis every day through their government shutdown and policy CHOICES. This is 100% preventable.

Delays, cancellations, & long lines. The GOP shutdown is impacting our airports and leaving air traffic controllers & TSA agents without pay, including at Boston Logan. Republicans need to reopen the government, pay federal workers, keep our airports running & skies safe.

US flight delays near 7,000 as government shutdown hits Day 27

U.S. air travel turmoil deepened as nearly 7,000 flights were delayed nationwide on Monday, with air traffic controller absences surging as the federal government shutdown reached its 27th day.

Over a million Massachusetts residents rely on SNAP to put food on the table. Trump has a pot of money to prevent this program from expiring on Nov. 1, but he's refusing to use it. This is a cruel, unlawful & violent policy choice. He must reverse course & Republicans must reopen the govt NOW.
