Republicans' sudden desire to fund & protect SNAP is entirely performative.
In case you forgot, they voted to slash SNAP by $200 BILLION with their Big Ugly Bill.
Now, they just want to cover up that they cut the programs Americans depend on to pad the pockets of the top 1%.
Tomorrow, open enrollment will begin for health insurance through the ACA and millions of Americans will be priced out of the health coverage they need.
Reminder: Republicans chose this. Democrats will keep fighting against this.
Trump flippantly announced that he has directed the DoD to resume nuclear weapons testing.
The U.S. hasn’t performed a nuclear test since 1992 and for good reason.
This announcement was unhinged and dangerous. I will oppose any effort by this regime to resume nuclear testing.
Since day one, Trump has abused his power and diminished our troops' readiness by using them to push his own political agenda.
I stand with my colleagues in supporting legislation that would limit the Insurrection Act — this regime's extreme abuse of power must be stopped.
Shaking down corporations, law firms, and universities wasn't enough for Trump. Now he's shaking down the American people by demanding $230 MILLION from the DOJ.
That's YOUR taxpayer money!
It's textbook corruption and lawlessness.
For the first time in the history of the U.S., the President is allowing SNAP funding to lapse.
I knew Trump was cruel, but letting tens of millions of Americans starve when you have the resources to feed them is a new low.
Trump is halfway across the world in Asia.
House Republicans haven't been to work in 40 days.
And Senate Republicans continue refusing to negotiate.
The facts speak for themselves: Democrats seem to be the only ones actively working to lower costs and reopen the government.
Trump’s funding cuts and tax bill have already put a strain on food banks.
Now, because Republicans refuse to provide affordable health care for Americans, SNAP benefits will freeze on Nov. 1.
In other words, Republicans are about to force 42 MILLION Americans into hunger.
Republicans want you to believe that by forcing the Senate to vote over & over on a bill that will price Americans out of their health care, they're serving the public.
Meanwhile, their constituents are seeing their health care premiums more than double.
Don't fall for this.
Trump can spend $350 MILLION on a gaudy ballroom, but cancelled $500 MILLION in deliveries for food pantries across the country.
Americans are going hungry, and Trump is actively wasting food meant to feed them.
His cruelty knows no bounds.
For 28 days now, Republicans have complained that Democrats won’t vote for their so called “clean” CR.
There is NOTHING clean about doubling Americans' health care costs.
The only thing their proposal is clean of is my vote.
It's day 28 of the shutdown and this administration has managed to pay our military and ICE agents.
The USDA could fund November SNAP benefits for tens of millions of households, but they won't.
That should say enough about this administration's priorities.
We were elected to serve our constituents, and right now, my Republican colleagues are not doing their job.
Americans are already struggling to get by under Trump, and instead of fighting to lower costs, Republicans want to DOUBLE health care costs for MILLIONS.
It's shameful.
First, Trump destroyed the Rose Garden, and now he's gutted the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, two of the White House's most iconic pillars of beauty and grace.
All to replace them with his gaudy ballroom and a concrete patio.
Hand him beauty and he'll ruin it with greed.
Federal employees should not be punished during a government shutdown that they had no part in.
While Trump picks & chooses who gets paid during Republicans' shutdown, I'm proud to join my colleagues in introducing legislation to ensure ALL federal workers receive the pay they deserve.
Friendly reminder that Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House.
This shutdown is entirely their fault.
Trump is already using the DOJ as his personal law firm, and now he wants to use it as his own ATM.
This Department of Corruption will go after Trump's enemies, protect his allies, AND line his pockets with your tax dollars.

If I had a dollar for every time this administration lied, I'd probably have enough money to become one of those billionaires they let influence all their policy decisions.
