Trump is fighting tooth and nail to take SNAP benefits from hungry Americans. Non-profits like COTS are stepping up to put food on the table for people in need, but they’re at a breaking point.

This is the longest government shutdown in American history thanks to Trump and Republicans' out-of-whack priorities. They own this and need to end it. Democrats know that Americans deserve better, and we won't back down from fighting to fund SNAP, reopen the government, and save your health care.

Nancy Pelosi is the greatest Speaker of all time. The People’s House will never see another leader like her, and I send her all my gratitude as she embarks on this new chapter.

It’s Election Day, so don't forget to get out and vote in the statewide special election in California! Voting in free, fair, and open elections is one of our most important rights as Americans. So find a polling place near you and make your voices heard:

For multiple administrations, NOAA’s leaders have been committed to science and serving the public first and foremost. I hope to see current Administrator Jacobs follow suit to put politics aside and deliver the critical information and data that Americans depend on every single day.

Betty Lachgar, a human rights activist battling cancer, was detained in Morocco and denied proper medical treatment over a t-shirt slogan. Yesterday, I called on the Moroccan Ambassador Yousef Amrani to intervene and stop this injustice.

Over 41 million Americans, including 28,000+ households in #CA02, are about to lose food assistance because of Trump and Republicans' shutdown. Families shouldn’t go hungry because the GOP is playing games. Republicans need to get back to DC and work with Democrats to fix this crisis they created.

Over 28,000 households in #CA02 will lose food assistance this week because Republicans chose to shut down the government instead of saving health care. Tens of thousands of kids are at risk in our community, and Republicans still refuse to negotiate. This is just cruel.

Many of you have probably seen the stories I’ve shared from my constituents on how this Republican health care crisis is hurting people.    I want you to hear directly from Sophia — her story is exactly why my Democratic colleagues and I are drawing this line and fighting this fight on your behalf.

Republicans' reckless cuts to health care are already affecting people in our community, and that’s why I refuse to budge during this shutdown. There's simply too much at stake. Here's a look at what some of our neighbors are up against:

Millions of children and families depend on food assistance, and these benefits are in jeopardy if the Republican shutdown continues. But Trump and House Republicans are completely disinterested in negotiating with Democrats to open the government and make sure families can put food on the table.

Millions of people are days away from losing their health care, and demolishing the White House to build a gilded ballroom is Trump’s main priority? They have no shame.

Every day more Americans get notices they won’t be able to afford Republicans’ new health care rates, yet Trump is more focused on meddling in foreign imports, buying new private jets, and building a gilded ballroom. We're almost 4 weeks into the shutdown, and they're still nowhere to be seen.

While Americans go without paychecks or healthcare, Trump is demolishing the East Wing to build himself a private $250 million gilded ballroom funded by billionaires. 🚨🚨 Ranking Members @rephuffman.bsky.social, @robertgarcia.bsky.social & @repyassansari.bsky.social are demanding FULL TRANSPARENCY.

We're on day 22 of the Republican shutdown – and it's officially the second-longest in American history. House Democrats have been, and still are, ready to negotiate with Republicans to save health care and reopen the government. Yet Republicans are off on vacation.

Republicans created a completely avoidable health care crisis to help out their billionaire donors – and people up and down the North Coast are going to pay the price. Here are some of their stories:

If you love our public lands, this hits you. Republicans shut down the government so Americans can’t see what they’re doing: firing over 2,000 park rangers and staff who protect our parks and wildlife so Big Oil can cash in when this is all over.

Every day, more Americans receive notices that their health care costs are about to skyrocket because of the crisis Republicans created. Republicans chose to shut down the government instead of fixing this mess. They need to finally negotiate with us and end this chaos.

While my Republican colleagues all relax at home during the Trump shutdown, I wanted to update you on the latest insanity Trump and Republicans are doing to curb opposition to their policies.

It’s week 3 of the Trump shutdown, and Republicans are still nowhere to be found. I’m back in Washington with @housedemocrats.bsky.social, standing firm to reopen the government and save health care.

Did you know that Representative-elect Grijalva is the last vote we need for our petition to release the Epstein files? She should have been sworn in WEEKS ago, but Speaker Johnson is refusing to let her. Last night I marched to his office to demand he swear her in. What’s he hiding?

The health care premium increases Republicans are trying to force down our throats will be catastrophic. In my district, we’ll see over 400% increases – and next door in Rep. LaMalfa’s district, prices will go up over 500%. Republicans need to reverse course and help us save health care.

My statement regarding the release of the remaining hostages:

Your story matters. It’s the reason we’re in this fight: to make sure that no one goes without quality, affordable health care because of Republicans’ greed. Share your story here: huffman.house.gov/how-the-trum...

Too often, tribes are left out of important decision-making in our communities. On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, I remain committed to supporting policies that uphold their sovereignty, protect tribal lands, and advance tribal programs.

I know many of you are already feeling the impacts of the Republican shutdown, and I assure you my team and I are here to help. We want to hear how this chaos is impacting you on the ground, so please share your story here: huffman.house.gov/how-the-trum...

Our service members already sacrifice so much for our country — they shouldn't have to give up their paychecks too. Trump and Republicans couldn't care less — they are threatening to take away their pay by extending this shutdown and refusing to compromise on basic health care policy.

The Republican shutdown has furloughed 750,000 federal workers, limited millions’ food assistance, & created a full-blown health care crisis. Yet Trump is using it as an opportunity to deploy the National Guard to Democratic cities & revoke funding for affordable energy projects in our communities.

We’re now a WEEK into the government shutdown, and Republicans are still dug in. They've gone on vacations and canceled another week of work in D.C. Republicans need to get back to Washington and help Democrats end this disaster once and for all.

Americans are already facing higher bills because of Trump’s war on clean energy – and now he’s twisting the knife even deeper by cutting $8 billion in projects designed to lower electricity costs. Over 160 Democrats and I are demanding that DOE Secretary Wright immediately reinstate the projects.

As the Republican government shutdown continues, I was glad to host a town hall in Crescent City over the weekend and answer #CA02 constituents' questions regarding what's going on. You can watch the full town hall at the link below.

Trump's weaponization of the National Guard against our communities has nothing to do with public safety – it's all about expanding power and intimidating anyone who disagrees. This is appalling and un-American.

Time and time again, Trump has tried to bully Americans and our government into submission — but House Democrats refuse to bend to his whims amid the government shutdown.

People are going to die because Republicans refuse to save affordable health care! And Trump’s focus is building himself a fancy new ballroom??

We’re on the edge of a health care cliff because Republicans refuse to negotiate – their solution was to shut down the government. I'm demanding they work with Democrats to save health care and prevent any further harm to American families.

Trump’s $1.2 billion cuts to affordable clean energy projects are insane. And one of them is in our own district. Cutting this project will drive up energy bills for nearly every household in our state. It's reckless, vindictive, and going to hurt a lot of Americans.

This was a peaceful, humanitarian mission by civilians & volunteers—including one of my constituents. It's imperative the people involved in this aid effort are treated safely, lawfully, and released. Israel and the international community must prioritize humanitarian assistance to Gaza immediately.

California's national parks grow our economy, preserve our environment, and strengthen local education and community. But now the Republican shutdown has temporarily closed Muir Woods, and people in #CA02 are already paying the price for Trump's recklessness and chaos.

Republicans are spitting insane lies to cover up their shutdown. So let's get the facts straight: undocumented immigrants cannot and do not get covered by ACA or Medicaid. Democrats are fighting to save affordable health care for hardworking Americans, period.

TRUTH Social, my ass.

Trump would rather shut down the government than give up his scheme to slash your health care. @housedemocrats.bsky.social and I refuse to bend to a budget that doubles health care premiums, funds tax cuts for billionaires, and dismantles the government.

Speaker Johnson shut down the government instead of negotiating to save health care. Now he's saying this is a BENEFIT because Trump can grab more power. Shutting down the government and robbing people of services is never a good thing. Disgusting.

🚨🚨🚨 Republicans shut down the government, and I know many of you may be wondering what that means for you. My team and I have compiled resources to keep you informed and up-to-date as the shutdown continues to develop:

Republicans control the government and refused to negotiate. They own this shutdown. They're cutting healthcare and abandoning our national parks. They wanted this.

Starting TONIGHT, Republicans are choosing to shut down our government instead of negotiating to save health care. Their damaging agenda is out of control, and I assure you we are doing everything we can to stop them.

We are HOURS away from a Republican shutdown. @housedemocrats.bsky.social and I are here in Washington trying to get work done, but my radical Republican colleagues can’t even bother to show up.

@montemader.bsky.social and I sat down to talk about what’s really happening inside the halls of Congress and how extremist Christian Nationalism is infecting our democracy. Check out our convo here ⬇️

Your health care could skyrocket due to massive cuts Republicans made in their One Big Ugly Bill to pay for billionaire tax giveaways. The GOP controls Washington and the ball is in their court: show up and negotiate with Democrats to lower costs or steamroll America into another Trump Shutdown.

If Republicans and Trump keep refusing to negotiate and shut down the government, Americans everywhere will feel the impacts. My team and I are working around the clock to avoid this catastrophe, but we've compiled the information you need in the event of a shutdown ➡️

The government shuts down in 6 days, and Trump refuses to negotiate. Republicans created a health care crisis, then pushed a spending bill they knew was doomed to fail... and now their wannabe dictator won't negotiate. Their inability to govern is out of control and hurting the American people.
