Judge Orders Trump Administration to Fully Fund Food Stamps This Month www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u... HELP IS NEEDED NOW! STAY ON HIS TAIL! Contempt coming.

An appellation and a button I created on third anniversary of the ACA, otherwise known as PelosiCare

Nancy Pelosi was the greatest speaker in the history of the Congress. I was proud to vote for her(my first vote in Congress) the first female speaker ,the honorable Nancy Pelosi. I will miss her as will the nation. thank you Nancy.

Five weeks into the GOP shutdown and Republicans still refuse to negotiate. They’d rather starve poor people and kids who depend on SNAP than restore the health care tax credits that help 81,000 people in Memphis afford coverage—all to pay for tax breaks for some of the wealthiest people on earth.

🚨BREAKING: SNAP must be paid NOW. This is what we've been pressing for, but it’s not over. Trump was trying to use these people as hostages by taking away their food—he has a penchant for cruelty. We have to keep the pressure on & make sure this administration follows through. Lives depend on it.

Food Stamp Cuts Expose Trump’s Strategy to Use Shutdown to Advance Agenda www.nytimes.com/2025/11/02/u... AND REPUBLICANS USED THE POOR WHO NEED FOOD AID AS HOSTAGES TO TRY TO HURT CHILDREN,DISABLED AND SENIORS WHO NEED AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE. CRUEL, HEARTLESS, AND IMMORAL!!

You have to ask: why keep the House locked during a shutdown? We could vote to fund SNAP, pay our troops, reopen government. But Speaker Johnson knows once we’re back, Democrats will have the votes to swear in Adelita Grijalva—and release the Epstein files. That’s why we’re in recess.

I’ve been in DC nearly all week. Haven’t seen a single one of my Republican colleagues. The GOP shut down the government to protect tax cuts for billionaires—and now Speaker Johnson’s literally locked the doors so we can't even vote to feed families on SNAP, or pay our troops and federal workers.

690k Tennesseans are on the verge of losing SNAP in the Republican Shutdown, and the GOP won't even call the House back into session. Meanwhile, Gov. Lee is sitting on a $2 BILLION rainy-day fund that could help keep families fed—but says he won't spend a dime. I'm urging him to reconsider ⬇️

This shutdown is about one thing: protecting tax cuts for the wealthy. Trump has billions he could use to keep SNAP funded in Nov. So does TN Governor Bill Lee. But the GOP would rather let families miss SNAP and go hungry than restore the ACA tax credits they gutted to pay for those tax cuts.

230 million dollar claim against US where his lawyers become the judge (ethical Not!)destruction of East Wing without historical advice or concern(see Bonwit Taylor)40 billion to Argentina but nothing for healthcare ( America 1st Not!)999 person ballroom,enuf for all J6 convicts he pardoned-reunion?

In Opinion “The United States is cutting off the kind of foreign aid that keeps children alive for 12 cents a day, but it’s willing to invest far larger sums in a dubious effort to prop up a distant economy — while effectively subsidizing tycoons who made bad investments,” Nicholas Kristof writes.

Melania doesn’t want to be around Trump so East Wing has temporarily lost its tenant and Trump has it torn down,not thinking or caring that the next president’s spouse may want to live with their mate and need an office. What an ……

Any family who received ACA tax credits will pay AT LEAST $1,000 & up to $18,000 more for healthcare starting in January if the GOP gets its way. You pay more so that people making over $400k, multi-millionaires, & billionaires can get new tax breaks. That's what the GOP shutdown is about.

Trump says he has commuted sentence of former Rep. George Santos - CNN. I was at Congress when this man was in Congress. He was a disgrace politics and that’s hard to be but the Republicans protected him like he was the Epstein files. His commutation shows Trump‘s disregard for justice. Shame gOP!

The Bolton indictment came from an independent process. Trump’s cases against Comey and Letitia James? Built purely on revenge, not law—even his own prosecutors refused them. Now he’s parading his AG, FBI Director, and VP on camera to publicly threaten other critics. More from CNN this morning ⬇️

The next generation of GOP "leaders" caught spewing racist slurs, joking about gas chambers and glorifying Hitler. Where are my Republican colleagues—especially our Tennessee Senators and Representatives—on condemning this? If you can't denounce this, you've already endorsed it.

Is it America First, or Argentina First? While the GOP keeps the government shut down, workers and their families go without pay, programs like WIC and SNAP are at risk, and Trump is sending $20B to bail out his far-right ally Javier Milei. I’ve written to the Treasury Secretary demanding answers.

Trump just laid off 500 Education Dept. workers—targeting programs like special education, afterschool care and HBCU support. He’s punishing kids, working families, students, and even people with disabilities—just to force Democrats to cave on health care. I won’t. Memphis families deserve better.

As this ceasefire begins, my hope is for peace and relief for all families who’ve suffered—the hostages finally reunited with their families in Israel, and the innocent children and people in Gaza. The focus now must be on an increased surge of humanitarian aid for Palestinian civilians.

James Comey, and now Letitia James. Trump believes he is the law right now. And in the authoritarian state we live in he is. And the Supreme Court is an accomplice and the Republican majority refuses to stand up for democracy and impeach him for Constitutional offenses. America where art thou!

10 years after I secured $30M to launch Foote Park at South City—and later $750K more to complete it—we cut the ribbon on its final phase today. What was once one of Memphis’ most distressed areas is now some of the best public housing in America—safe, modern, beautiful homes for 700+ families.

Trump had the GOP shut down the government in the middle of a health care crisis—and now he’s sending troops into American cities, including Memphis, to intimidate people and score political points. Memphis doesn’t need an occupying force. We need real partnerships and investment in our people.

It's been over a month since I signed the petition to release the Epstein files—and look what's happened. The GOP shut down government, ran for the exits & are blocking a new Democrat from being sworn in who could give us the votes. You don't go to these lengths to hide nothing. They're panicked.

Trump is now saying he'll force civil servants to work through the GOP shutdown without backpay. He'll steal their paychecks to try and force Democrats to cave on ACA credits. This is not the time to back down. Not while they threaten workers’ pay AND your healthcare—all to help billionaires.

WIC funds are about to run out and thousands could miss paychecks this week because Republicans still refuse to negotiate. This is the GOP's shutdown. They set the deadline, made no effort to avoid it, & would rather let kids go hungry & families go without pay than back off their health care cuts.

I’m deferring my pay for the duration of the shutdown. Thousands of people in Memphis & TN9 are going to be impacted—from federal employees and servicemembers to contractors & middle-class families who keep our city running. If they aren't getting paid because of the GOP shutdown, neither will I.

Republicans control the White House, Senate & House. They set this shutdown deadline, and then jammed through the Big Ugly Bill gutting SNAP, Medicaid & ACA tax credits to enrich billionaires. Now they need Dems and won't negotiate—and blocked us from offering an alternative. It's a GOP shutdown.

The long-term solution to crime is better schools, more job opportunities, more mental health resources, and real law enforcement partnerships. Not the National Guard. Trump's deployment won't solve crime. The real concern is it's a cover for ICE to rip good, hardworking people from our community.

I’ll be on @cnn.com at 9:20am CT to discuss why sending the National Guard into Memphis is the wrong approach. Memphis deserves real investment to improve education and job opportunities, and real law enforcement partnerships. Not political stunts.

Former interim Mayor & longest-serving Memphis councilman Myron Lowery lived a life of service with integrity & grace. Myron and I supported each other through elections, but more important was our 50-year friendship. I’ll miss him. Condolences to Mary, Mickell, and his family. A life well lived.

www.cnn.com/2025/09/27/p... hope this talk is just hypertrophy and not about lethality. As the war president, he sounds like he’ll be killing American protesters. God help us.!

This is why I voted against the GOP’s Big "Ugly” Bill — and why Democrats won’t support a CR that locks in these health care cuts. Memphis is being hurt by this legislation as much if not more than any other district in America.

Trump forced out a respected Republican US Attorney who wouldn't charge James Comey, and replaced him with a real estate lawyer with no criminal law experience—but who knew how to say, "Yes sir, Mr. Trump." This isn't about justice. It's about Trump using the DOJ to settle scores & silence critics.
