Even after being ordered by the courts to fully fund SNAP, the Trump administration is in court not to reopen the government, not to help working families, but to block food aid for millions struggling to put food on the table during a shutdown Republicans created.

Today, Trump refuses to use that same power to feed hungry Americans.
Last night, he pardoned Rudy Giuliani and several other cronies who tried to overturn a free and fair election on his behalf. Using the presidency to shield those who attacked our democracy is not just an abuse of power — it’s a blatant display of his misguided priorities.
It’s Day 41 of the Republican shutdown, and Donald Trump has made one thing painfully clear: he fights for his friends, not the American people.
An empty promise of a future vote from this Republican Party and this President is meaningless. After forty days of this shutdown, Americans need action — not delay, not excuses, and not more broken promises.
The Senate’s deal fails the American people. It does nothing to make health care more affordable for families who are already struggling with high costs and nothing to protect the millions of Americans at risk of losing their coverage.
I was deeply moved to stand alongside our neighbors and friends in honoring the lives we lost at Borderline. The love, strength, and hope of this community remind us that even in our darkest moments, we find light in one another and strength in the bonds that carry us forward. #BorderlineStrong
Unlike Trump and Congressional Republicans, Democrats understand what affordability really means – and we will continue fighting to make it a reality for every American.
Nearly a year into Trump’s second term, one thing is clear: his policies are actively pricing working families out of the American Dream.
Today, under Trump’s record-breaking shutdown, the economy is losing $15 billion every week, 15 million Americans are projected to lose health coverage, and health care premiums are skyrocketing.
While Trump lies, the numbers don’t. Under President Biden, there was never a lapse in federal food assistance. Unemployment reached historic lows. The uninsured rate fell to a record low.
Let’s be clear: the so-called savings come from smaller portions, not lower prices. The facts are this: Food isn’t cheaper and Trump is no economic genius.
In a desperate attempt to spin the cost-of-living crisis created by his own economic policies, Trump is bragging that Thanksgiving dinners are “cheaper” than they were under the Biden administration.
It’s Day 38 of the Republican shutdown – and President Trump is just now familiarizing himself with the word “affordability.”
Today, I join our community in remembering and honoring the beautiful lives we lost. I pray their loved ones find comfort in cherished memories and strength in the love that continues to surround them. #BorderlineStrong
What happened at Borderline remains an unshakable reminder that we must never tire in our fight to protect our children, our families, and our communities from such horrendous acts.
Seven years ago, our community experienced an unimaginable tragedy that forever changed us. The pain of that night remains deeply felt – a pain shared by far too many who have been touched by our nation’s gun violence epidemic.
Your voices and experiences help me keep fighting to make health care more affordable and accessible for every American. I will not back down – because health care should be a right, not a privilege.
If you or someone you know is being impacted by rising health care costs or uncertainty about coverage, share your story with me at juliabrownley.house.gov/share-your-healthcare-story.
My office has received numerous calls and emails from constituents shocked by their new premium notices – some facing bills that will double come January if Republicans don’t act to protect the ACA and the families who depend on it.
