I've warned all year that DOGE, the illegal funding freezes and cancellations, the illegal destruction of agencies and attacks on the civil servants who work on them were deeply unpopular – and that is clearly reflected in these results.

I am proud and not surprised that some of the most enthusiastic voters were Northern Virginians, who have been treated so awfully by this Administration and its Republican allies.
7/
The concerns about high costs are not isolated to Virginia; this is a huge, nationwide problem that demands solutions - which Republicans are failing to offer.
6/
President Trump ran on the promise to fix these problems quickly, but with his Republican allies he has instead made them worse: raising the costs of groceries and goods with crazy tariffs, and raising electricity prices and health care costs with their Big Bill.
5/
She also shattered Virginia’s glass ceiling at long last, and I cannot wait to address my friend as ‘Madam Governor.'
Virginia voters sent a clear message that they are not happy about rising prices, rising unemployment, and the state of the economy.
4/
She flipped rural counties that haven’t supported Democratic candidates in years, and her success helped deliver the biggest Democratic wins in the House of Delegates in nearly four decades.
3/
Governor-elect Spanberger won by the largest margin of any Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Virginia since the parties realigned during integration, with broad support that overcame differences of age, race, gender, and political affiliation.
2/
It's hard to overstate the scope of Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger’s victory.
I congratulate and thank the candidates, their staffs and volunteers, and all whose tireless efforts made this happen.
My statement on Virginia's historic election results:
beyer.house.gov/news/documen...
The Trump Administration is legally required to pay every federal worker at the end of any shutdown without exception. The law is not ambiguous, it clearly bars this wanton cruelty and if Trump pursues it he will lose.
Trump is now threatening to starve 42 million Americans, in violation of law and court orders, after spending the weekend holding lavish parties with his rich donors.
Unspeakably cruel and corrupt, and all the Republicans in Congress can say is "I didn't see that."
America should not go to war with Nigeria.
We should not go to war with Venezuela.
We should not invade Mexico or Iran.
Trump should stop trying to start more wars and focus on helping struggling Americans.
States, Democrats in Congress, and now federal judges have one message to Trump: follow the law and fund SNAP.

Trump’s tariffs are scaring away more than just jobs.
Mike Johnson just cancelled votes in the House for next week, the seventh week in a row of recess. Republicans' ongoing vacation in the middle of a government shutdown continues.
Democrats are willing to work to end this shutdown, fund SNAP, and get our government running again.
This is my call to House Republicans – stop the vacation, let’s get back to work. Families with mouths to feed count on it.

New Guidance Provided to Cover November SNAP Benefits; What You Need to Know

"If we had a contingency fund."
You mean like this contingency fund the Trump Administration just deleted off their website? The one they are legally required to use to keep SNAP funded?

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.
Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.
