Step 1: Implement tariffs (aka taxes) Step 2: Realize this raised the cost of living and is the opposite of what you promised and they (among many, many other things) have made you unpopular Step 3 (we are here): Begin reversing tariffs Step 4: cross fingers prices come down and take credit

I hope it’s abundantly clear that Republicans don’t care about you. They only care about themselves and billionaires.

Our service members and their families sacrifice so much for our country and the values we hold dearly. To each and every one of our veterans: thank you for service. May we continue to honor you each and every day.

I thank her, not only for what she has accomplished, but for the example she leaves behind.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialNov 6(source)

It is one of the greatest honors of my career not just to have served alongside her, but to have learned so much from her. As she steps away from public office, we celebrate a legacy defined by grace, grit, and a profound love of country.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialNov 6(source)

She has been a North Star for so many, having illuminated a path of progress, compassion, and courage for us all.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialNov 6(source)

Throughout her decades of service, she has guided our nation through some of its darkest hours and championed transformative legislation that will shape the lives of Americans for generations to come.

The public should take note that the Trump administration was more than willing to weaponize hunger for political purposes. We've seen the Trump administration jump through hoops and find billions for Argentina, private planes, and more but refuse to support Americans in need in a time a crisis.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialNov 3(source)

Last week, federal courts reaffirmed what we knew to be true: withholding SNAP funding is illegal. It should never have taken the courts to require the Trump administration to act and prevent millions of Americans and thousands of El Pasoans from going hungry.

“The absolute worst part of working at a food bank is when you gotta tell people, 'that's all we got today. We're out.' And you know you can't send them anywhere because they're going to be out, too.” www.npr.org/2025/10/29/g...

“Trump and Rubio at the Mar-a-Lago Halloween Party, on day 31 of the shutdown. Official theme is Gatsby and 'a little party never killed nobody, we're told.”

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialOct 31(source)

Millions of Americans, including thousands of El Pasoans, will be going hungry starting tomorrow because the president is choosing not to use $6 billion in available emergency SNAP funding. Instead, his focus is on his White House renovations.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialOct 29(source)

By refusing to accept the responsibility that comes with controlling our ENTIRE government, Republicans have put us on a path to decimate our economy. On top of their One Big Beautiful Bill and tariffs, our economy can’t afford to take a $14 billion hit. www.cnbc.com/2025/10/29/g...

Government shutdown could cost U.S. economy up to $14 billion, CBO says

U.S. senators are pessimistic that they will reach a deal to reopen the federal government.

So, to be clear: the SNAP cuts coming this week impacting 42 million Americans who will have a harder time putting food on the table are a choice made by an administration that couldn’t care less about anything but enriching themselves and their cronies.

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialOct 28(source)

The administration has no problem withholding available SNAP funding while at the same time using your money to fund their warped priorities: Argentina ($40 billion) Modifications to Trump's Qatari plane ($400 million) Kristi Noem's private planes ($170 million)

Rep. Veronica Escobar@repescobar.bsky.socialOct 28(source)

Thankfully, various states know the money is there and are suing the administration in order to protect Americans against Trump’s terrible decision to withhold the funds x.com/axios/status...

"But Congresswoman, Republicans are trying to continue funding SNAP." Um…FYI Republicans made massive, permanent cuts to SNAP in their "One Big Beautiful Bill” which will go into effect next year - all to give wealthy Americans massive tax breaks! www.cbpp.org/research/foo...
