The administration can give a $40 billion handout to Argentina, but they refuse to use available funding to feed hungry American families.
The people deserve better than an administration that weaponizes hunger for political gain.

The president is either lying or completely out of touch with reality.
Either way, it’s not helpful to American families that are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of everything from groceries to health care.
That's why Democrats are fighting to end the tariffs and extend ACA tax credits.
The Republican shutdown has dragged on for 38 days.
Democrats remain ready to sit down with Republicans to reopen government and lower costs.
But Republicans are still on their month-long vacation and refuse to come to the table and negotiate.
It’s shocking that it takes a court order to force the administration to feed hungry children, seniors, and veterans—but I’m thankful that a court is forcing this action.
Now, Republicans should end their vacation and negotiate a bipartisan bill to reopen government and lower health care costs.
NEW: A federal court ordered the Trump administration to provide full food stamp payments to states by Friday, and sharply admonished the government for slow walking aid -- days after Trump said he'd halt it entirely.

Federal workers are entitled to backpay following a government shutdown, period.
Any attempt to withhold this pay from federal workers would be illegal and morally reprehensible.

Your daily reminder that Republicans control the House, Senate and White House. They could reopen the government TODAY if they wanted to.
This administration inherited the strongest labor market in a generation—and in 10 short months they have pushed layoffs to their highest level since the pandemic and just before the Great Recession.
American families are paying the price.

The president’s reckless tariff taxes and trickle-down economic policies are driving up prices, crushing small businesses, and killing good-paying jobs for American workers.
It’s about time Republicans worked with Democrats to end the tariffs and invest in our communities.
A trailblazer and legislative leviathan; a committed public servant; and a dear friend.
Thank you for your service to the nation, @pelosi.house.gov!
From helping guide our nation through the Financial Crisis & a global pandemic to enacting the ACA & the American Rescue Plan, her devotion to democracy, pragmatic progressivism, & unrelenting fight to improve the lives of Americans are at the heart of every accomplishment achieved this century.
History will show that Nancy Pelosi is one of the greatest and most consequential Speakers and political leaders in our nation’s storied history.
For months, Democrats warned that mass firing civil servants at the VA would undermine services for American veterans.
We’re already seeing the negative consequences of the administration’s actions.

If Republicans are successful in eliminating ACA tax credits for working-class Americans, Missouri families will see their health care premiums skyrocket.
That’s why I’m fighting to extend these tax credits and lower costs for Missourians in #MO05
Today would be a great day for the president to show some leadership, sit down with congressional Democrats, and negotiate a bipartisan agreement that will end the Republican shutdown and lower health care costs for American families.
While the president is focused on his gilded ballroom, raising tariff taxes, and giving a $40 billion bailout to Argentina, American families are struggling with the surging cost of groceries, utilities, and health care.
The people are paying the price for the president’s chaos and corruption.
The president does not have the authority to unilaterally raise taxes on American consumers and small businesses nationwide.
His across-the-board tariff taxes are unconstitutional, and the court should make that clear.
With Republicans in control of the White House, House, and Senate, America is now facing the longest shutdown in our nation’s history.
It’s time for House Republicans to end their month-long vacation and negotiate a bipartisan budget that will reopen government and lower health care costs!
Republicans in control of the White House, House, and Senate have now tied for the longest shutdown in history.
But instead of negotiating with Democrats to reopen the government and lower health care costs, House Republicans remain on a taxpayer-funded vacation that began in mid-September.
NEW: At 35 days, the government shutdown has now tied the record for longest in history
It will break a record set in Donald Trump’s first term.

Open Enrollment has officially begun at healthcare.gov
Tragically, Missouri families will see higher costs and face difficult choices when deciding on a health care plan—all because Republicans would rather shut the government down than extend ACA tax credits that lower health care costs.
