“Since he got into office the second time, Trump has really been pushing the idea of United States of America power over Latin America...”

Republicans are letting SNAP expire tomorrow.

Oregonians: I'm sharing resources in my instagram stories on where to find free meals and groceries. Our state is really pulling together to support each other when it's needed most, and that's why I'm damn proud to be an Oregonian.

The Trump administration must obey the law.

Federal judges have been clear: release the contingency funds NOW.

Do not allow 42 million Americans to go hungry while billionaires get tax breaks.

Meiselas: As all of this information has flooded the zone, you’d think that would be a good thing—that people would get more educated. But paradoxically, I think it’s brought us back to the Dark Ages and feudal times, because a lot of information doesn’t necessarily mean good information.

Donald Trump needs to release SNAP funding immediately. Do what's right, for once.

California will keep fighting to make sure Trump doesn't force millions of Americans to go hungry by illegally withholding federal food benefits.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here.

And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.

More big news: the Senate just passed my bipartisan resolution to end Trump's global tariffs. This is a huge win and shows how unpopular Trump's tariffs really are. Now it's time for Mike Johnson to abandon his 6 week vacation and get this passed in the House.

Meiselas: Donald Trump just got schooled by the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell. Powell said that based on how Donald Trump is harming our economy, it is far from a foregone conclusion that there will be further rate cuts. Hide that ketchup bottle from Donald Trump.

I'm grateful that the Vermont governor & legislators acted to prevent Vermont children & families from going hungry.

Now Trump must obey the law & release $5 billion in emergency SNAP funding appropriated by Congress.

The richest country on Earth shouldn't be facing a hunger crisis.
