These girls were misled and abused by powerful men who thought that the rules didn’t apply to them, that they could get away with anything. There should be justice. Release the files.

BREAKING: House Democrats just released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Trump had "spent hours at my house" with one of Epstein's victims — among other messages that suggested Epstein believed Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged. tinyurl.com/5yj3dfpx

House Democrats on Wednesday released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Donald Trump had “spent hours at my house” with one of the convicted sex offender’s victims, among other messages that suggested Epstein believed Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged. nyti.ms/441Dyxh

Americans deserved a better deal than this one.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govNov 10(source)

Tonight I’m thinking of the millions of parents going to bed wondering how they’re going to put food on the table, keep a roof over their heads, pay their utility bills and keep their health insurance without going broke.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govNov 10(source)

Allowing this to pass is a mistake.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govNov 10(source)

I will not support this bill that completely fails to help Americans afford their health care. Trump and R’s have more than doubled Americans’ health care premiums, and for 40 days they have refused to lift a finger to do a thing about it. In fact, they’ve made it worse by taking food from kids.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govNov 9(source)

Corporations don’t pay enough to feed you and your family, so you use SNAP. Then he punishes you for using SNAP instead of taking on the companies that don’t pay you what you’re worth. We sometimes forget Trump is just an asshole boss. He always finds a way to blame workers.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govNov 9(source)

If your values are to take food from hungry people… well we have very different values let’s just say that.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govNov 9(source)

If they fought for health care half as hard as they do to keep food from hungry families, this whole mess would be solved by now.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
DATE:
November 8, 2025
SUBJECT: Updated Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
November Benefit Issuance
TO:
Regional Directors
SNAP Division
All Regions
SNAP State Agency Directors
All State Agencies
This memorandum is a follow up to the guidance shared on October 10, October 24, November 4, November 5, and November 7, 2025, regarding Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for November 2025.
The U.S. Supreme Court granted the U.S. Department of Agriculture an administrative stay of the orders issued by the District Court of Rhode Island in Rhode Island State Council of Churches, et al. v. Rollins, 25-cv-569. Pending any explicit direction to the contrary from Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), States must not transmit full benefit issuance files to EBT processors. Instead, States must continue to process and load the partial issuance files that reflect the 35 percent reduction of maximum allotments detailed in the November 5 guidance.
To the extent States sent full SNAP payment files for November 2025, this was unauthorized. Accordingly, States must immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025. Please advise the appropriate FNS Regional Office representative of steps taken to correct any actions taken that do not comply with this memorandum.
Per 7 CFR 271.7(h), failure to comply with this memorandum may result in USDA taking various actions, including cancellation of the Federal share of State administrative costs and holding States liable for any overissances that result from the noncompliance.

The only path forward is a deal that protects peoples' health insurance. Trump just needs to get involved in the art of this deal.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govNov 6(source)

Empathy bone missing apparently

Donald Trump stands at his desk while someone to the side has a medical episode, not paying any attention

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govNov 6(source)

He’s not even good at lying because everyone knows we’ve been talking about health care for the entire month. He just knows if he let there be a vote on health insurance subsidies, it’d pass with bipartisan support.

Speaker Mike Johnson: Here’s the simple truth: The Democrat Shutdown is about NOTHING.

If you asked 100 different Democrats what their shutdown is about you would get 100 different answers.

Now Democrats have trapped themselves in the longest shutdown in U.S. history — and the American people are CONTINUING to pay the price.

They have the time to tweet at me but no time for Trump to pick up a phone and negotiate huh?

Rapid Response 47

This could all be avoided if unhinged lunatics like @amyklobuchar and @SenTinaSmith cared half as much about Americans than they do about illegals

Clarifying question: Does needlessly keeping food from working families make us great? Or is it keeping it from seniors on fixed incomes?

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govNov 4(source)

This Administration is trying to give us a false choice - don’t buy it.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govNov 4(source)

It’s bullshit to say we can’t feed the hungry AND care for the sick. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. We can do both.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govNov 3(source)

Nothing like a Gatsby party for your uber rich friends at Mar-A-Lago while millions of your neighbors get priced out of health insurance. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, @warren.senate.gov and I just touched down in Florida because while Trump won’t fight for his neighbors, we will.
