Republicans already gutted $186 billion from SNAP in the Big Ugly Bill. Now the Trump Administration is doubling down, letting 42 million Americans go hungry while they can prevent it.

The Trump Administration somehow found $40 billion to bail out Argentina yet refuses to use $6 billion in congressionally approved contingency funds to prevent 42 million Americans from going hungry.
It’s indefensible. Their priorities are shameful.
The Trump Administration has the ability to fully fund SNAP for the month of November. Instead, they are CHOOSING to be cruel and allow 42 million Americans to go hungry.
My colleagues and I are calling on USDA to use every available tool to keep SNAP benefits flowing. No one should go hungry while Republicans play games.
Speaker Johnson still won’t swear in duly elected Adelita Grijalva because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein files. Do your job, Mr. Speaker, and release the files.
I had lunch with our air traffic controllers, the incredible public servants who keep our skies safe. Yet right now, they’re doing this vital work without pay.
I will always support our air traffic controllers and their families. Republicans need to come back to the table and end the shutdown.
Today, I met with our community leaders to discuss what’s at stake if Republicans let Enhanced Premium Tax Credits expire.
While Republicans force a costly shutdown and threaten these vital tax credits, Democrats aren’t backing down. I won't stop fighting to lower costs and protect access to care.
Join me for an in-person town hall this Thursday, Oct. 23rd at 6pm to address your questions and concerns regarding the Republican Shutdown and their cruel indifference to our family's access to affordable care.
Please RSVP at the link below before 11am tomorrow. I look forward to seeing you there.
Thank you to all who have shared how Republican attacks on health care are impacting you. If you haven’t had a chance to share yours yet, please take some time to do so.
Let’s make sure they can’t ignore the consequences of their actions.
In Sacramento, we believe leadership means compassion, not chaos.
It’s forged through community. Through standing up together to defend our rights, reject Trump's abuses of power and lift each other up.
That’s the Sacramento spirit. And that’s what I’ll keep fighting for every single day. #NoKings
Today we reminded Donald Trump, loud and clear, that in this country WE HAVE NO KINGS.
We don’t worship power — WE BUILD IT TOGETHER. In our neighborhoods. On our streets. In our unions.
That’s who we are, that’s Sacramento, and I’ll always have your back.
The White House just froze $11B in Army Corps projects targeting blue states.
I’ve worked with the Corps for years—across parties—to protect Sacramento from catastrophic floods.
Now Russ Vought is playing political games with people’s lives. It’s reckless, dangerous and an absolute embarrassment.
It’s been weeks since Adelita Grijalva was duly elected, yet Speaker Johnson still refuses to swear her in.
Why? Because she’d be the 218th signature needed to release the Epstein files.
Do your job, Mr. Speaker. Swear her in.
Today, House Democrats gathered on the Capitol steps to highlight how the Republican assault on health care is hurting hardworking Americans.
Republicans know the damage being done—they’re choosing to ignore their constituents. Instead of fixing the problems they’ve caused, they’ve skipped town.
House Democrats are here in Washington—united and ready to work.
House Republicans? Nowhere to be found.
While their constituents face drastic premium hikes, they’ve shut the government down and gone on vacation. That’s not governing, it’s abandonment.
Republicans need to get back to work.
In the midst of a shutdown, President Trump has decided Argentina matters more than the American people.
Giving $20 billion to another country while you fire your own workforce, raise health care costs, and leave American farmers struggling is not “America First”.
Click the link and share how rising premiums are impacting you and your family. Together, let’s show my Republican colleagues exactly how their policies are hurting the American people. [2/2]

Republicans have shut down the government rather than lower your health care costs.
People across our community are already getting their health care rate notices and I want to hear from you. [1/2]
I pray that this ceasefire endures and becomes the foundation for a future of lasting peace, security, and dignity for both Israelis and Palestinians. [3/3]
There can be no delay in delivering additional aid, restoring essential services, and building the stability needed to ensure this agreement holds. There is still difficult work ahead. [2/3]
