Hunger cannot be used as a political weapon. We are fighting for working families every day – and that’s why we sued immediately when it became clear SNAP benefits were at risk.

Today, the Trump administration agreed to release partial SNAP funds: www.opb.org/article/2025...

Trump administration says SNAP will be partially funded after judges’ rulings

President Donald Trump’s administration says it will partially fund the SNAP food aid program after a pair of judges’ rulings required the payments to continue.

Yes, partial payments are not enough. Even full SNAP amounts aren't enough.

Partial payments aren't enough.

One in six Oregonians relies on SNAP benefits, and families across our state are already feeling the impact of the full November SNAP funds not being released.

We’ll continue this fight in the courts.

And the video of himself in a fighter jet dropping s..t on Americans, tearing up the WH, rose garden, Oval Office. Stupid bday parade, and weekend trips to golf on us all while selling his merch.

Right. With inflation up, grocery prices up, no wars ended, more wars started, no ceasefire, healthcare premiums up, snap cuts, housing up, and utilities up. Maybe that's why his polls are crashing hard.

The 24 corporations funding Trump's ballroom have received $279 billion in government contracts in the past 5 years.

Most of them are facing federal enforcement actions.

These are not random donations.

It's a clear as day effort to kiss up to the Trump admin.

They poured years into Project 2025, but somehow “healthcare plan” never crossed their minds. They never will have one — caring about people isn’t part of the agenda.
