It's just a fact. President Trump could fix the problem with SNAP funding if he wanted to. Instead, he and the Republicans choose to inflict the maximum amount of pain on struggling Americans.
Reposted byRep. Adam Smith
Rep. Adam Smith: "This country has not agreed to have the death penalty for drug smuggling. If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It's an enormous expansion of power."
More than half of SNAP participants are members of families with children.
We need the Republicans to do their job and fight against hunger by distributing the funds that these working-class people need.
Trump is making Halloween more expensive this year.
His chaotic, unstable economic policies are driving up the costs of Halloween candy.
The Trump administration has the responsibility to feed 42 million hungry Americans. SNAP has about $5 billion in an emergency fund and has the ability to transfer this money to provide funding to cover November benefits. Instead, they're leaving them hungry.
While Republicans serve themselves, Democrats are working for you. We want to reopen the government, extend cost-saving health care tax credits, and make like more affordable for hardworking Americans.
To find resources, visit Washington state’s Agriculture Department website or call 360-725-5640.
Many will turn to food banks and pantries in and around the district for support, and I applaud Governor Ferguson for shifting almost $2.2 million each week to the WA Department of Agriculture to help food banks.
More than 1 in 10 residents in Washington rely on food assistance programs but will go hungry as the Trump administration rips away federal funds for SNAP benefits starting November 1.
42 million Americans will be thrown off SNAP benefits on November 1 because the Trump administration refuses to release authorized funds to feed working-class families.
The Republican goal in this government shutdown is to inflict the maximum amount of pain possible on the American people.
Democrats want to help the American people by providing food assistance, health care, and federal pay checks.
If you are a recipient of food assistance benefits, I want to make sure you have access to the resources to feed your family. To find a food bank or pantry near you, visit agr.wa.gov/services/foo... or call 360-725-5640.
We need to allocate resources to those in need and have Republicans come back to negotiate an end to the government shutdown they created.
The Trump administration's suspension of SNAP food assistance is unlawful and devastating to families across our state.
Food banks are already overburdened and cannot be the solution to the man-made food crisis by the Trump administration withholding funds.
Great thanks to @governorferguson.bsky.social for moving $2.2 million each week to support Washington food banks as they feed the nearly one million Washingtonians relying on SNAP benefits.
Four weeks of the government shutdown and not one minute of Republicans negotiating with Democrats.
Come back to Congress, do your job, and work for the American people.
House Republicans haven't shown up for work since September 19.
There's no way to negotiate a reopening of the government if half of Congress is on vacation.
I stand with @atg.wa.gov to protect SNAP benefits for Washingtonians. 42 million Americans rely on this food assistance. We will continue to sue the Trump administration for ripping away nutrition from hard-working families in need.
The end of the Affordable Care Act tax credits will drive up the cost of health care for millions of people -- even for folks who don't use the health care marketplace.
We can't afford to ignore this problem. Republicans must come back and negotiate with us to solve this urgent crisis.
