The White House is doubling down on letting 42 million Americans go hungry, appealing a court decision that demands it must pay 100% of the SNAP benefits it blocked. It's unconscionable and the American people won’t forget.

BREAKING: The Trump administration has renewed its Supreme Court appeal to keep full SNAP payments frozen during the shutdown.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govNov 10(source)

Americans are facing a healthcare crisis NOW and this Senate deal does nothing to fix that. It's a bad deal and I cannot support it. Americans deserve better.

UPDATE: Donald Trump is so hellbent on denying people SNAP that he went all the way to the Supreme Court to block benefits. Now Trump is trying to bully states into TAKING BACK payments they already made to families. It’s chaos for the sake of cruelty.

Donald Trump’s war on SNAP.

Republicans rejected it. The Trump Administration is working overtime to deny food stamps to 42 million Americans.

It’s been a wild week. Here’s what you need to know: The current CR would shut the government down again next week. Democrats offered a solution to reopen the government and keep healthcare affordable for 24 million Americans through the next year.

I’m at the Delco emergency food drive. The White House may not get it, but Delco does! People started lining up to drop off food at 7 a.m. The drive is open at 1797 Sproul Road from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. today. Neighbors helping neighbors.

SNAP payments are going out late to millions of Americans, because this White House made the unfathomable choice to force Americans to go hungry.

BREAKING: Pennsylvania is now driving out November SNAP benefits. After we won in court yesterday, we moved quickly to start getting benefits loaded on EBT cards and out the door — and we're working to get every Pennsylvanian currently waiting for federal food assistance benefits what they're owed.

If the President cared about Americans going hungry, he would follow the court’s order instead of trying to appeal it.

The Trump administration moved on Friday to deny swift and full food stamp payments to millions of low-income Americans, as it asked a federal appeals court to halt a judge’s recent order that would preserve those benefits during the shutdown.

Thank you, Madame Speaker, for your service, courage, and leadership.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govNov 5(source)

Trump's tariffs are making everything too unaffordable. If the Supreme Court doesn't strike them down, the House should be come back to work and vote against these tariff bills.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govNov 5(source)

It’s a beautiful fall day for @houserepublicans.bsky.social to come back to work and restore benefits for the American people.

Donald Trump is not judge, jury, and executioner. Summary executions are illegal—in peacetime and wartime. Congress needs answers on Donald Trump’s extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean.

For more than 15 years, the GOP healthcare plan has been to take healthcare away from Americans.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon@scanlon.house.govNov 4(source)

Never before has a President tried to BLOCK funding for SNAP - until now. Trump administration is REFUSING to follow a court directive to use contingency fund to provide SNAP benefits. Cruelty is the point.

The polls are open, Pennsylvania! Our democracy is stronger when we all participate – so if you haven’t already, be sure to cast your ballot before 8pm. For more information, head to pa.gov/vote and make your voice heard.

With food prices rising and Americans going hungry, the White House should be looking for ways to help feed Americans, not creating roadblocks as states and local communities try to step up.
