I joined Atlanta City Councilman Michael Julian Bond to help fill people’s trunks with the food they need to keep their families fed during the #RepublicanShutdown. (1/2)

This is now the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Trump’s response to the #RepublicanShutdown is to illegally cut off November’s SNAP benefits.   While I fight to get these funds released, here are a few food assistance resources in the #FightingFifth to help keep food on your table.

Trump threatens to defy court orders…again. Millions of Americans don’t know where their next meal will come from and the president couldn’t care less. He’s too busy playing political games.

Make your voice heard, #FightingFifth! Make a plan and get out to vote! Polls are open 7 AM - 7 PM 🗳️ Find your location: mvp.sos.ga.gov

The #RepublicanShutdown is ripping plates from tables. I’ve been out in the #FightingFifth delivering groceries to seniors, but that’s a drop in the bucket compared to our communities’ needs. (1/2)

My Republican colleagues have been on vacation for a month and a half while Mike Johnson refuses to call the House into session. As this #RepublicanShutdown drags on, families are missing SNAP benefits and watching their health care costs rise. (1/2)

It should never take a judge to order the president to ensure families are fed. Trump must comply with the orders and without delay. We cannot let people go hungry.

Millions of Americans — including 1.6 million in Georgia — rely on SNAP, and right now they’re bracing for a lapse in their benefits brought on by the #RepublicanShutdown. (1/2)

As the #RepublicanShutdown continues to harm our country’s federal workers, reports have surfaced that the CDC — located in the #FightingFifth — may not be complying with workers’ rights. (1/2)

I’m heading home from D.C. to meet with my constituents and continue to uplift the stories of the #FightingFifth as we navigate these uncertain times brought on by the #RepublicanShutdown. (1/2)

#TeamNikema held a #CongressInYourCommunity at the Decatur Branch Library, where they helped answer a #FightingFifth constituent’s question regarding federal agencies. Even as the #RepublicanShutdown continues, my office remains OPEN and available to assist the #FightingFifth!

There is $5 billion available to the American people to fund SNAP. Trump is willfully refusing to feed hungry children, seniors, and veterans in the #FightingFifth and across the country. The funds must be released, and we must keep plates on tables during the #RepublicanShutdown.

I joined the Steering and Policy Committee and DWC hearing to support America’s caregivers and protect the health care of millions of women and families. It was my honor to introduce my #FightingFifth constituent, Kingia Randall — a devoted caregiver to her family. (1/2)

It’s inexcusable that Speaker Mike Johnson hasn’t called a vote in 40 days. While families face uncertainty in this #RepublicanShutdown, I’m in D.C. working to keep care affordable for the #FightingFifth.

Tune in to a "Closer Look" with Rose Scott on #WABE as I join live to talk the #RepublicanShutdown, health care costs, and possible lapses in vital SNAP funds for working families in the #FightingFifth and across the country.

Clayton County! Join #TeamNikema at the Northwest Library this Wednesday from 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM for Mobile Office Hours regardless of the #RepublicanShutdown. Get assistance with federal agencies and have your questions answered. We look forward to helping the #FightingFifth!

House Republicans have been on vacation for the past five weeks in the middle of the #RepublicanShutdown. I’m in D.C., ready to negotiate in good faith to reopen the government and extend ACA tax credits for working families in the #FightingFifth and across the country.

While Republicans increase health care costs, I’m working with @demwomencaucus.bsky.social, @housedemocrats.bsky.social, and advocates on solutions to ensure women and families in the #FightingFifth and across the country can afford their child care & health care. youtube.com/live/OnYuwKY...

It’s been 38 days since Speaker Mike Johnson last called a vote on the House floor. That’s 38 days of Republicans refusing to work with Democrats to end this #RepublicanShutdown, lower health care costs, and protect SNAP benefits for families in the #FightingFifth and across the country.

Leslie, Carter, and I tightened bolts and got ankle-deep in mulch with KABOOM!, Delta, and the Grant Park Conservancy today to help build a brand-new playground in Grant Park in the #FightingFifth. Thank you to the organizers and every volunteer who made this possible!

This week, the #RepublicanShutdown hit day 23 as I split my time between the #FightingFifth — meeting with constituents — and Washington, D.C., to negotiate in good faith to reopen the government. Catch up on the rest of my week in #NikemasNotes!

1.4 million Georgians are enrolled in SNAP.   Now more than ever, with Trump’s tariff taxes and rising inflation, working families in the #FightingFifth and across the country are relying on SNAP to put food on the table. (1/2)

Three weeks into the #RepublicanShutdown, Mike Johnson still refuses to reconvene the House. In less than 10 days, without Republicans coming to the table, the #FightingFifth will face steep hikes in healthcare premiums. I won’t stop fighting for affordable care.

This is a false choice. We don’t have to choose between lowering your costs, canceling the cuts, saving health care, and ending the #RepublicanShutdown. Republicans need to get back to Washington, D.C., and do their jobs.

As your voice in Washington, D.C., I need to hear from you!   Share your story with me on any increases you’re seeing in your healthcare costs or impacts of the #RepublicanShutdown in the #FightingFifth. Share your story here: nikemawilliams.house.gov/share-your-s...

#TeamNikema joined the Clayton Health Fair for a #CongressInYourCommunity event. As the #RepublicanShutdown threatens next month’s SNAP benefits, Team Nikema met constituents where they are — addressing their concerns about keeping food on the table. We must reopen the government and stop the cuts.

House Democrats remain united to cancel the cuts, lower the costs, and save health care for the #FightingFifth and all Americans. #RepublicanShutdown

I held a listening session with local labor groups representing federal workers in the #FightingFifth, where we discussed the #RepublicanShutdown and the support they need to continue providing the vital public services that keep us safe and secure.

The #RepublicanShutdown is hurting real people in the #FightingFifth and across the country.   If you’ve been impacted by the shutdown — or will be by rising healthcare premiums if Republicans don’t act — I want to hear from you: nikemawilliams.house.gov/share-your-s...

Joined Councilman Byron Amos for his District 3 Senior Day Out! The #RepublicanShutdown and Republicans' attacks on Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP are hurting seniors in the #FightingFifth and across the country. (1/2)

My District Office in the #FightingFifth is currently experiencing difficulties with our telephone lines. If you need to get in contact with my office, please call my D.C. office at (202) 225-3801 📞

“Threats of violence will not stop us from showing up, standing up and speaking up for the American people.” Thankful for law enforcement’s swift actions to protect @RepJeffries from someone who should never have been in the position to threaten the leader in the first place.

The #RepublicanShutdown is shameful. Republicans are putting lives at risk by refusing to protect access to affordable healthcare. The #FightingFifth deserves better—and I’ll keep fighting to defend the care our communities depend on.

I led 31 of my Congressional colleagues in urging the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to reject a Trump-aligned petition that would force voters to “show papers” just to cast a ballot. (1/2)

The #RepublicanShutdown is now putting SNAP benefits at risk for millions. I remain ready and willing to negotiate in good faith to reopen the government, secure affordable healthcare, and make sure plates aren’t ripped from the tables of working families in the #FightingFifth and across the country

Wishing you all a joyous and luminous #Diwali! May the Festival of Lights bring warmth, happiness, and endless blessings to your homes!

It’s been over a month since Mike Johnson called for a vote. While families are struggling with the #RepublicanShutdown and bracing for a surge in healthcare costs, Republicans are on vacation. I’m staying in the fight to protect access to affordable, reliable care in the #FightingFifth.

Calling all #FightingFifth middle and high school students who love coding  Design and submit your app individually or in teams of up to four for a chance to be featured on the CongressionalAppChallenge.us website and displayed in the U.S. Capitol. You have until October 30th, 2025.

The First Amendment protects your right to free speech, peaceful assembly, and to petition the government. If you are participating in protests this weekend—either in the #FightingFifth or across the country—stay safe, stay vigilant, and let your voice be heard.

This week, the #RepublicanShutdown hit day 17 as House Democrats stayed in D.C. to work for the American people—fighting to reopen the government and protect health care. Catch up on the rest of my week in #NikemasNotes!

It's a false choice to say that we have to choose between reopening the government and saving health care. We can and will do both for the working families in the #FightingFifth and across the country.    We must cancel the cuts, lower costs, and save health care!

The Trump Administration must immediately reinstate ALL CDC employees wrongfully laid off during the #RepublicanShutdown. Public health can’t wait—every one of these workers is essential to keeping us safe.    All efforts to undermine the CDC, in the heart of the #FightingFifth, are dangerous.

My Democratic colleagues and I are standing firm as Republicans try to gut affordable healthcare. It’s been 27 days since Speaker Johnson called a vote. I’m in D.C., ready to work, negotiate, and end the #RepublicanShutdown for the #FightingFifth.

#TeamNikema hosted a #CongressInYourCommunity at the Brookhaven Library to discuss agency support and resources with #FightingFifth constituents.   We may be on day 16 of the #RepublicanShutdown, but know that my office remains OPEN and ready to serve!

UPDATE: Today’s Congress in Your Community will now be held at Brookhaven Library. It was originally scheduled to take place in Decatur. #TeamNikema looks forward to seeing you there!

I’m in D.C., standing up for the #FightingFifth and doing the job I was sent here to do. I won’t stop fighting to protect your healthcare. The #RepublicanShutdown continues — and Republicans are nowhere in sight.

The #Trump administration has relentlessly attacked our federal workforce since taking office.   Nothing about the #RepublicanShutdown gives him the authority to fire our public servants — and this is how we fight for them: in Congress, in our communities, and in the courts.

Trump's administration has violated the #HatchAct a lot during the #RepublicanShutdown — the latest being Secretary Noem’s TSA video.   I stand with Hartsfield-Jackson, in the #FightingFifth, in not airing this shameless video. It’s not legal, it’s not leadership, and it’s not prioritizing safety.

I wore purple with my @demwomencaucus.bsky.social colleagues today because October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month — an issue that impacts millions of Americans each year. (1/2)
