It’s Day 34 of the Shutdown, and Trump is CHOOSING to withhold food from 42 million Americans.
Meanwhile, he’s building a gilded ballroom and threw a lavish Great Gatsby party at his private club for himself and his billionaire friends. This is a “let them eat cake” moment if there ever was one.

Happy Halloween everyone! I hope you all found some time today for joy, to relax, and to spend time with loved ones—even in these tumultuous times! Sending you all so much love on this Halloween weekend from Albuquerque! 🎃
They 👏 are 👏 breaking 👏 the 👏 law.
Two judges have just ordered that the Trump Administration must release funds for SNAP benefits. The GOP and Admin trying to use hungry kids as political leverage is beyond morally reprehensible. And it’s against the law.
This is undemocratic. For over 40 days, the U.S. House of Representatives has been out of session—votes cancelled, refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, refusing to recognize democrats, and refusing to negotiate to reopen the government, feed children, and fix healthcare. We are fighting back!
SNAP provides ~$6 a day—which is just enough to help keep families from going hungry, but never enough to get ahead. If funds don’t go out, millions will wake up Saturday without money for groceries.
This can be averted. Trump’s USDA must release contingency funds already approved by Congress!
Hunger is a policy choice.
From our SNAP Back Act in the House, to the Senate, to our Governor & State Legislature, to our Attorney General and food banks, we are working on all fronts to make sure New Mexicans can put food on the table as this food crisis is being manufactured by the White House.
I think this tells you what you need to know about who is blocking food to American families and keeping the government shut down. ⬇️
Letting 42 million Americans go without food this weekend—half of whom are children—is WRONG and a CHOICE.
The funds are there, but the White House is trying to leverage hungry kids for a political agenda. Mr. President, American lives are not a political game, and we are not here to play.
In case I’ve not made myself clear—no family in America should go hungry. Period.
Trump’s decision to withhold SNAP is unconscionable and immoral. The GOP needs to come back to DC and reopen the government. And the Admin needs to release the funds so families can put food on the table on Saturday.
Let’s be clear here—Trump has the funds to ensure 42 million Americans don’t lose access to SNAP benefits on Saturday. But, they are CHOOSING to let Americans starve.
That’s why I introduced the SNAP BACK Act today—to ensure families are fed.
We will not let Americans starve.
Cutting off food for children, elders, and veterans is wrong. Period.
That’s why we’re here fighting back. ⬇️
Just flew in from Albuquerque and had to come down to see the White House for myself.
As our communities are facing a crisis—Trump is CHOOSING to cut off food assistance to 40 million Americans—while building a $300 million ballroom for himself.
Cruelty is the point.
Cutting families off from food assistance is unacceptable. I joined over 200 Members of Congress in calling on the Admin to release SNAP funding. We are also dropping legislative language to force the Admin to release this funding and supporting states in taking legal action to release those funds.
NM, even in the most challenging times—your grit, determination and heart give me hope and purpose for the work ahead.
Today, I head back to DC to continue our fight to reopen the government, address the food and healthcare crisis facing our communities, and fight for our democracy.
Such a wonderful week at home! Including our visit to the @tgrcnm.bsky.social. This center is an amazing resource that provides safe spaces to connect, get access to healthcare, casework, housing, and hot meals, a donation closet, and so much more!
Thank you TGRC for the incredible work you do! 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈❤️
It’s Fall in New Mexico—and that means one thing—it’s chile season! I’m here at Wagner Farms in Corrales and want to shout out all of our local farmers and businesses, and to wish you all a Happy Fall! 🎃🌶️🍂
Furloughing nearly 80% of our nation’s nuclear security workforce is dangerous. Yet, that is exactly what the Trump Admin and the GOP did.
My colleagues and I are demanding the IMMEDIATE reinstatement of NNSA workers—including at NM’s National Labs. Our national security literally depends on it.
Cruelty seems to be the point. This week, the Administration showed it cares more about: Building ballrooms, Bailing out billionaires, and Blowing things up.
Than it does about: Feeding families, Federal workers, Fixing healthcare, and Firming up our national security. Here’s what comes next. ⬇️
The complete demolition of the East Wing has occurred in days.
Hundreds of thousands are without work and pay, millions are threatened to have food assistance cut off—and the President is bulldozing the White House to build a $300 million ballroom for himself.
Americans will not forget.
The day we’ve waited for has finally arrived! It was truly an honor to be at the grand opening of Sandia Pueblo’s new Early Childhood Development Center!
This state-of-the-art school is not only to learn reading, writing, and arithmetic, but also language and culture, and to create future leaders!
