Speaker Johnson would let millions of American children go hungry, all to score political points.

Disgraceful.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

On November 1, SNAP funding will lapse for the first time in American history.

Trump can fund SNAP—he's just choosing not to.

It’s day 30 of the government shutdown.

Republicans refuse to come to the table to negotiate about Americans’ health care, and now they’re trying to use food assistance as a political weapon.

The Trump administration spending ledger:

✅ $40 billion for Argentina
✅ $230 million for Trump's grievances against the Department of Justice
✅ $300 million for a golden ballroom
❌ $0 to save 42 million Americans from hunger
❌ $0 to stop your health care costs from going up 30%
