We’re mere days away from folks losing the benefits they need to put food on their table. I led Michigan Dems in Congress to call on Sec. Rollins and USDA to use their contingency fund, which is set aside for scenarios exactly like the one we’re in now. We can’t leave American families to starve.

Republicans could end this shutdown today if they agreed to extend ACA tax credits — something that 78% of Americans support. Instead, they are spending our tax dollars on ballrooms, billionaires, and bailouts for foreign governments. ⬇️ Read more about my thoughts on the Republican shutdown.

What Michigan's members of Congress are saying as shutdown is about to get real

With food assistance to 1.4 million Michiganders being cut, the Free Press asked the state's members of Congress to talk: Here's what they had to say.

Our West Michigan community is going to be devastated by a loss of SNAP benefits next month. The leaders at the Grand Rapids Community Food Club fear that their patrons won’t be able to afford to put food on their tables, and I’m determined to do everything possible to support them.

Sec. Rollins: Do the right thing. Don’t let Americans go hungry.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govOct 27(source)

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.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govOct 26(source)

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. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/u...

Trump Says He’s Cutting Off Trade Negotiations With Canada

@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.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govOct 25(source)

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.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govOct 25(source)

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.

Bipartisan effort in Michigan seeks new icebreaker from Finland for Great Lakes - NewsBreak

Two U.S. representatives from Michigan are asking the federal government to send at least one new icebreaker ship to the Great Lakes as part of a deal betw

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govOct 24(source)

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.

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. www.fox17online.com/news/morning...

VOICEMAIL VILLAINS: BBB of Michigan warns of fake loan processor calls

The BBB has now received over 1,500 reports of voicemails from fake loan processors trying to get your personal information.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govOct 23(source)

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.
