Over the weekend, I had the honor, once again this year, of presenting medals to eight local veterans. From the Korean War to the Vietnam War, these brave men and women answered the call to serve and defend our freedoms.

Today’s court order to fully fund Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits in November reinforces what I’ve said for weeks: in the richest country in the world, it is outrageous that our President would allow millions of Americans to go hungry.

President Trump’s recent social media post regarding the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funding defies court orders and hurts Americans who rely on this lifeline to put food on the table. It’s wrong and unacceptable.
