Sec. Rollins: Do the right thing. Don’t let Americans go hungry.
Here are the facts:
✅Congress provided SNAP contingency funding for emergencies.
✅A Republican shutdown is an emergency.
✅42 million Americans need food assistance.
✅Secretary Rollins has the funding and legal authority to issue SNAP benefits in November.
Today, we remember the 11 innocent Jewish congregants whose lives were cut short by an act of senseless violence at the Tree of Life Synagogue in 2018.
We must stand up and speak out against hate and antisemitism in all forms. I'm praying for the families of the victims today.
The subsidies and credits enacted under the Affordable Care Act are pro-business, and pro-America. I’m deeply disappointed that my Republican colleagues refuse to work in the best interest of the American people by extending these credits.
Our neighbors to the North are our biggest trading partner, and our trade relationship with them should be expanded — not destroyed.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social are laser-focused on getting folks the SNAP benefits they need to feed their families, and we’re calling on the Trump Admin to do the same.
SNAP benefits — or “food stamps” as they are more commonly referred to — are a lifeline for Americans of all ages, beliefs, and backgrounds.
An estimated 42 million Americans rely on them to put food on their table, including 1.4 million Michiganders.
Rep. Barrett and I are calling on the Trump Admin to make good on their deal with our Finnish allies and acquire an icebreaker before the winter begins.
Relentless winters on the Great Lakes often result in heavy ice accumulation that only icebreakers can navigate through — and we need more of these ships in our fleet to get the job done.
It’s unconscionable to think that Republicans not only depleted SNAP to the tune of $186 billion in the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill,” and now also have effectively cancelled SNAP benefits for November, leaving families out to dry for Thanksgiving.
If you are in need of assistance, call my office at 202-225-3831 or visit our website at scholten.house.gov.
West Michigan, I’ve heard from many of you who are concerned about putting food on your table, as SNAP benefits are being put on pause in November. Make no mistake: I’m working every day to bring this shutdown to an end and relieve the pain it’s causing for West Michiganders. 🧵
West Michigan, be on the lookout for scam calls like this one. You deserve to keep your hard-earned money in your pockets.

For less than 25% of the cost of bailing out a Trump ally in a foreign country, we could support American families putting food on their tables. It's a gut punch to the folks who are already struggling the most.

West Michigan, we’ve just received notice that November SNAP benefits are being temporarily paused. I understand that this is devastating for many of you, as nearly 1.4 million Michiganders rely on SNAP to put food on their table.

The longer this shutdown continues, the more pain our air traffic controllers and TSA employees feel. I hosted a roundtable at GRR to hear directly from West Michigan aviation professionals about their concerns, and reaffirm my commitment to ensuring that we end the shutdown so they can get paid.
West Michigan, you may start to receive notices shortly about your anticipated health care costs for 2026. I want to hear from you.
If you or someone you know is anticipating a spike in health care costs starting next year, submit your story at the link below.
