US Supreme Court temporarily blocks November SNAP payments The U.S. Supreme Court temporarilyย blocked Friday night a lower courtโ€™s order that the Trump administration pay for a full month of food benefits, hours after some states began loading nutrition assis...

The Supreme Court enabling Trump to pause SNAP payments will hurt millions of Americans.

This administration is once again showing us exactly who they fight forโ€”and itโ€™s not hungry children, seniors, or working families. (1/3)

This morning most North Carolina SNAP beneficiaries saw partial payments on their EBT cards, and I am grateful to NCDHHS for working quickly to get the rest of November's payments out the door as soon as this weekend. We will keep working to make sure families can put food on the table this month.

The SNAP funds will be released on Wednesday! But then I learned they will only release partial funds and might not send them out right away. They are telling us that DJT can fly down to MaraLago, cost us millions each time you do it, throw lavish parties, but you cannot afford to feed the hungry?

No one in America should see their healthcare costs rise by $25,000, but that's what families are facing here in North Carolina.

Still, House Republicans won't come to work to find a long-term solution to their health care crisis.

Millions of Americans, including 1.4 million North Carolinians, rely on SNAP benefits to put food on the table. Iโ€™ll continue to do everything in my power to keep families fed, but the Administration needs to release these critical funds.

861 Title 32 technicians of NC National Guard and 181 Title 5 civilian employees supporting the National Guard have missed their second paycheck but are still working during the government shutdown. This is not how we treat those who keep us safe.

SNAP funding runs out tomorrow, but Trump refuses to use the funds available to extend this program during the shutdown.

Now, 42 million Americans, including 16 million children, could lose the food assistance they depend on.

This isn't a partisan issue, it's a moral one.

The General Assembly needs to prioritize the people of North Carolina, come back to Raleigh, and pass a full budget that give our teachers, law enforcement officers, and other public servants much needed pay raises, meaningfully invests in public safety, and fully funds Medicaid.

JUST IN: The U.S. Senate has voted 52โ€“48 to overturn Trumpโ€™s 50% tariffs on Brazil. Five Republicans joined Democrats: Susan Collins (ME), Mitch McConnell (KY), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Rand Paul (KY), and Thom Tillis (NC).

The measure is DOA in the House.

If Washington doesnโ€™t act now, 888,000 North Carolinians will see their out-of-pocket health insurance premiums double on average in 2026 and more than 150,000 will lose their health care altogether. We cannot afford this. America needs you to do your jobs.

Thank you for bringing attention to this, and to the Senate Dem caucus for standing against the Republican created healthcare crisis by refusing to sign the budget that harm US citizens into law!

Nothing is more patriotic than standing up for your fellow Americans!

HEADS UP:

Montana has sorted this out, and if it works, any other state can do the same to _un-do_ the damage of Citizens United

In short, states may grant legal benefits and licenses to business entities, and in exchange they prevent business entities from acting as people.

(pls spread the word)

Our government is shut down, healthcare costs are out of control, and inflation hit 3% for the first time since January.

But destroying the White House to make a ballroom is the 'main priority' for Trump and the GOP.

Trumpโ€™s mandate to fast-track 10,000 new hires is coming at a cost: quality.

Arizona A.G. Kris Mayes explains why she is suing Mike Johnson for not swearing Adelita Grijalva into office. "By not swearing her in he's depriving 813,000 Arizonans of representation. That's called taxation without representation. We fought a revolutionary war over that."
