Waiting until the last moment or failing to act at all is not leadership. It is a deliberate weaponization of hunger to score political points.

At the same time, Trump refuses to release the contingency funds Congress set aside for SNAP, money meant to prevent hunger during crises like this one. If he doesn’t act now, 42 million Americans, including military families and veterans, could go hungry tomorrow.
In a last-ditch scramble, the Trump administration is pulling from unrelated defense accounts to pay our troops, creating chaos and deep anxiety for military families already struggling to cover bills and buy groceries.
It’s Day 31 of the Republican shutdown — and working families across America are feeling the pain. Many have already missed paychecks, and millions more are bracing to lose their SNAP benefits tomorrow.
As little ghouls and ghosts celebrate tonight’s festivities, I wish everyone across #VenturaCounty and the Conejo Valley a Happy Halloween full of fun and spooky delights! 🎃
Here are some trick-or-treating tips to help keep our kids safe and parents at ease! 👻
It’s time for this administration to act – before 42 million Americans go hungry on November 1.
While House Republicans remain on their fifth week of paid vacation, Democrats are fighting for the millions of Americans who risk losing health care, food assistance, and the basic security every family deserves.
Now, even though he has both the legal authority and the moral responsibility to act, Trump is refusing to fund SNAP. He could tap into the SNAP contingency fund today, but he’s deliberately choosing not to do so in order to deflect blame for the shutdown Republicans created.
In the One Big Ugly Bill, Republicans made the largest cuts to SNAP in U.S. history to pay for the largest tax breaks in U.S. history for Donald Trump’s billionaire friends and donors.
1 in 5 children in the United States rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Yet 0 of the 219 House Republicans are showing up to feed them.
It’s Day 30 of the Republican shutdown – and we are just days away from seeing critical food assistance run out.
This administration’s reckless policies are having a devastating impact on #VenturaCounty families, and we must remain committed to putting people – not politics – first.
Alongside Ventura County Supervisor Vianey Lopez and Gold Coast Health Plan CEO Dr. Felix Nuñez, I called on Congressional Republicans to end this shutdown and protect health care for millions of Americans.
Democrats are fighting every single day to reopen the government, defend the Affordable Care Act, and ensure every American can get the care they need, when they need it.
The truth is, families are struggling. Groceries cost more, child care costs more, housing costs more, and now Republicans want health care to cost more too.
House Republicans are on their fifth week of paid vacation while federal workers go without pay and families wonder how they’ll afford their next doctor’s visit. This shutdown isn’t about policy or principle – it’s about politics at its worst. The American people deserve leaders who put them first.
House Democrats are fighting to reopen the government, get federal workers paid, and restore the services Americans rely on. It’s time for Republicans to end this shutdown.

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans caused this shutdown, and they own every missed paycheck, every sleepless night, and every ounce of stress they’ve inflicted on the workers who keep America safe and moving.
Every day, air traffic controllers guide thousands of flights and ensure millions of travelers make it home safely. Yet while carrying that enormous responsibility, they’re being forced to worry about rent, bills, and groceries.
It’s Day 29 of the Republican shutdown – and air traffic controllers who keep our skies safe have now missed their first full paycheck.
