This crisis is entirely avoidable. Republicans are refusing to negotiate with Democrats to remove their deep cuts to SNAP and other vital public programs. They’re holding the government — and millions of working families — hostage to push their cruel political agenda.
I refuse to accept this.
That’s why I joined 212 of my Democratic colleagues in urging the USDA to use contingency reserve dollars to continue funding SNAP. And STILL, with a solution on the table, Republicans rejected this measure. No one — no child, no parent, no senior — should go hungry because of the far-right’s political games.
This is not about politics. It’s about basic human decency. And I’ll keep fighting every day until our government reflects that. Join me.
