The Trump administration can fund SNAP through November with previously approved funding from Congress, but it is choosing not to. Speaker Johnson has neutered Congress, while the White House chooses to inflict pain and hunger on 42 million Americans, including seniors, veterans, and children.
Speaker Mike Johnson is siding with the Trump administration’s decision to not tap emergency funds for food aid for 42 million Americans — who are slated to lose SNAP benefits on Saturday if the government shutdown continues.
@houserepublicans.bsky.social's refusal to extend ACA tax credits will cause an extra 8,811 PREVENTABLE DEATHS in America each year, IN ADDITION to 42,500 annual deaths caused by the DC Republicans' cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. Democrats are fighting to protect Americans' health care.
Over 40 million Americans are at risk of losing SNAP benefits on November 1st. By not spending money already allocated, the Trump administration is using Americans’ hunger as political leverage. If you want to help your community, consider donating to a local food pantry.
A lapse in funding on Nov. 1 would be devastating for over a million Pennsylvanians who rely on SNAP. I'm joining 213 of my House Democratic colleagues to demand that @usdagov.bsky.social take all possible actions to ensure that 42 million Americans, including children & seniors, don’t go hungry.
With SNAP funding set to lapse, 42M children and families are at risk of experiencing hunger.  I am leading 213 House Democrats in calling on the USDA to use contingency reserve dollars and all legal authority to fund SNAP during this shutdown.   Read more ➡️ hayes.house.gov/index.cfm?a=...
The White House is lying to the American people when it says: - our cities are war zones and the military should be sent in - it is making our country safer by deploying armed forces to American cities - it is targeting armed and dangerous undocumented immigrants
Americans should be concerned that this abuse of power and lawlessness could come to their city or town next. Federal agents have detained children, including American citizens, deployed tear gas near elementary schools, and zip-tied children snatched from their beds at night.
It was great to join the graduation of the first cohort from The Welcoming Center's Global Skills and Union Pathways Project that help immigrant members of our community enter the trades. This is a workforce development program created in collaboration between city, trade unions, Hanwa shipyard.
The White House has provided neither facts nor legal justification for the extrajudicial killings of men on boats in the Caribbean. It is escalating tensions with Venezuela, Colombia, and other countries in the region.
Thank you to Norristown Regional Health Center for the tour and briefing on the comprehensive health care it provides to low income families in Montco. Like many community health centers, it will have to cut services when the Medicaid cuts in the GOP’s Big Ugly Bill kick in.
