Rep. Shontel Brown

The Do Nothing MAGA Congress is at it again. After hiding for six weeks during Trump’s shutdown, they wrapped up the legislative week with a vote on denouncing socialism...

Meanwhile, grocery prices are up and millions are about to lose health care. 🙄😒

It doesn't have to be this way. Democrats have been ready to vote to extend ACA credits for months.

Republicans haven't been interested - and now millions will see huge price increases.

Cancel the cuts, lower the costs, protect health care.

Democratic lawmakers introduce bill to reverse SNAP cuts A team of House and Senate Democrats are working to reverse recent cuts to food assistance programs.

Trump’s Big Ugly Law made the largest cuts to SNAP in history. MILLIONS lose benefits. All to give tax cuts to the rich.

Today, Dems in Congress filed legislation to cancel the cuts – and I’m proud to be on the bill. NE Ohio can’t afford Trump’s greed.

There's always a new low with Trump. His latest deranged posts calling for the death of Democratic lawmakers are beyond repulsive. This is such a dangerous path. We simply cannot keep tolerating this - Trump's awful comments must be condemned.

In addition to being wrong, what Trump's doing is illogical – less research means less effective and more expensive health care for everyone.

Cancel the cuts, protect health care.

Federal cuts to medical research are personal for local teen A 19-year-old Shaker Heights teen could hold the key to treating a medical disease that could help change the lives of thousands.

Important story in Signal Cleveland on how Trump’s health care cuts are jeopardizing access to essential treatments and threatening life-saving and life-changing research into cures in Ohio.

Trump's ACA cuts aren't just bad; they're brutal for OH-11, and now families are paying the price. Here’s what Talia from Cleveland says she is going through thanks to Trump’s agenda.

Rural communities are so important to our country, yet they're often treated as an afterthought.
 
That's why @newdems.bsky.social is stepping up to fight for affordable housing and health care, keep rural hospitals open, and a stronger rural economy. We need all zip codes and counties to thrive.

The Epstein Files matter because the survivors matter.

Tonight, I stood alongside women who are fighting for justice and accountability. Epstein and his enablers caused so much pain, but they are not backing down. End the coverup, release the files, deliver the truth.

[UPDATE] The Epstein Files Transparency Act has passed the House of Representatives. 

We did our job in the House. Now the Senate needs to act. No games, no delays, no tricks. We need justice for survivors and truth for the people. Release. The. Files.

I’m on my way to vote YES on releasing all of the Epstein files. The American people deserve to know the truth, the survivors deserve justice, and the perpetrators need be held accountable for their crimes, no matter who they are.

Don't be fooled folks, if the White House wanted to release the full Epstein files, they could direct the DOJ to do just that. Trump is trying to save face after months of a coverup. He couldn't care less about justice, transparency, or supporting survivors.

I just spoke on the House floor to expose the truth about who Donald Trump is really working for. Spoiler alert- the answer is NOT the American people.

Republicans have made one thing clear: they do not care about your health care.

Open enrollment is in full swing, and 38,000 of my constituents will have to deal with huge price increases due to Trump's cuts.

Where is the GOP's plan to address that? Oh, I forgot they don't have one!

Yea, I’m not waiting on this supposed GOP health care plan.

The truth is Republicans have had TWO DECADES to produce a bill to lower health care costs and protect care.

They don’t have a plan because they don’t want to lower your costs. Period.

The lengths that Trump and Republicans are willing to go to in order to coverup the Epstein files is a serious red flag. 

The people deserve the truth, and next week I will vote to force the White House to release the files.

Update on November SNAP benefits in Ohio

Important information on when Ohioans will receive SNAP benefits for November ⤵️

I didn't stutter back in September when I sounded the alarm on the Trump administration's efforts to block the release of the Epstein files. So I'll say it again: RELEASE. THE. FILES.

I stood with the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social to declare in one voice: HANDS OFF OUR HEALTH CARE. 38,000 Ohioans in our district will lose coverage because of GOP cuts. It’s up to Congress to act to help save access to care nationwide. This fight is not over.

📣ALERT: @repjimcosta.bsky.social and I called out Trump’s plan to bail out Argentina's beef industry. 50 House members joined our letter, because while the White House claims they put Americans first, they sure are treating American ranchers like an afterthought. Full letter below:

I voted against the Republican spending bill that locks in massive health care price increases.

Ohio cannot afford Trump's agenda. Trump's greed and Republican cuts are breaking health care in America.

My full statement ⤵️

FACT: After hiding for 7 weeks, House Republicans are back to lock in their massive ACA cuts, raising costs for 500,000 Ohioans. I’m standing with House Democrats to keep fighting to cancel the cuts and lower the costs. I’m a no on this sham spending bill.

Today we honor America’s veterans. Their sacrifice reminds us that democracy endures only when we defend it. We honor their service by continuing their commitment to freedom.

Brace yourself for skyrocketing health insurance costs next year. Here’s who’s set to take the biggest hit in 2026 Everyone will be affected.

Democrats want to lower health care costs and cancel the cuts.

Republicans want costs to increase. It's that simple.

SNAP serves children, elderly people, people with disabilities, veterans and working families. When Republicans talk about "cutting benefits," they need to say who they're choosing to go hungry.

Republicans have shut down the govt for 40 days because they refuse to lower health care costs.

Their proposal keeps deep Medicaid cuts and lets ACA subsidies expire.

That means higher bills and lost coverage for my constituents. Cleveland can’t afford these cuts.

I'm a no.

Trump's cruel crusade to shutdown SNAP continues.

This man just refuses to do right thing.

www.cnn.com/2025/11/07/p...

Trump is doing everything he can to shutdown SNAP and punish people.

It's time for Trump to release the funds and stop weaponizing hunger.
