Unconscionable. They're trying to rip SNAP benefits away from families struggling to afford groceries in order to provide the largest tax break in American history to billionaires. House Democrats are prepared to fight back for as long as it takes.

While you were sleeping I was on the floor at 2am pushing back against harmful cuts to SNAP. Republicans sent a clear message with their budget: They don’t want to feed kids at home, and they don’t want to feed kids at school.  This, and every other provision is cruel. And

Slashing programs like SNAP rips away the safety net families rely on when they fall on hard times.   Here is what our Congresswoman has been doing to fight back against Republican plans to strip food from 42M Americans:

I voted NO on House Republicans’ big ugly bill. This legislation threatens to strip millions of Americans of their health care and food assistance. It includes nearly $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid and $300 billion to SNAP, potentially leaving over 13.7 million people without

Nearly 30% of households in my district rely on SNAP—the highest rate in California. Yet House Republicans just passed a partisan budget that guts the program by $300 billion, ripping food off the tables of working families. My district will be hit hardest. That’s why I

House Republicans repealed a tax on gun silencers, while making it harder for children to receive food assistance. And this is the party of “family values?” rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

This week, I voted against an ultra-partisan bill that would have ripped food assistance and health care away from hardworking Valley families.

It was a pleasure to welcome Adam Schiff to our Valley and showcase the incredible agriculture that feeds our nation. In times like these, with programs like SNAP facing potential cuts, it’s more important than ever to highlight the vital role our farmers play.

On top of massive cuts to health care and food assistance, Republicans hid several provisions in their tax scam that will spell disaster for working families. On today’s Democratic Daily Download, Congresswoman Andrea Salinas breaks down what the GOP doesn’t want you to know about their

Kansas farmers deserve a Farm Bill that reflects their reality. I’m out listening to their concerns — and bringing their voices straight to the negotiating table. kwch.com/2025/05/13/rep…

This is dangerous. Bird flu has already wreaked havoc on the ag economy and skyrocketed prices for consumers. We should be keeping all options available to curb the spread. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/05/28…

131,000 people in my district rely on SNAP, including our local Valley Veterans. With a budget proposal that slashes this program, our nation’s heroes risk losing critical support that helps put food on the table. military.com/daily-news/202…

Michiganders should not have to die earlier merely because some of my Republican colleagues in Congress think that they are going to die anyways. We need to protect Medicaid and SNAP.

1-in-5 households in my district rely on SNAP. Trump’s Big Ugly Bill is an attempt to steal from them, to give tax cuts to the rich. I don’t know what the urgency is- is there a flash sale on beach houses right now? It’s wrong.

House Republicans passed the Big Ugly Bill in the dead of night, then spent two weeks trying to spin and swindle the American people about what was in it. The reality: millions will lose health care and millions will lose nutrition benefits - for tax cuts for the rich.
