Tonight, was another reminder: there is no single mold for a Democratic winner.

Progressives won. Moderates won. Rural, suburban, urban —they all won. Black, White, Latino, AAPI — they all won. We won in the East, South, Midwest and West. Victories in races from City Council to Governor.

Maybe Republican members of Congress will finally do their job and start functioning as a co-equal branch of government. Of course House Republicans will have to show up for work again for that to happen.

This administration let nearly 100 million pounds of food go to waste rather than deliver it to food banks.

It’s like they WANT millions of Americans to go hungry.

Over 40 million Americans will lose food assistance in the coming days due to Republicans' government shutdown.

The Trump administration has refused to release funding set aside to keep food assistance programs running during emergencies.

No, this White House “renovation” is not like the others.

If only President Trump were as focused on getting the government open, distributing SNAP payments, and preventing health care premiums from increasing as he is on getting his ballroom built.

NBC News @nbcnews.com · 7d

The White House fires all six members of the Commission of Fine Arts, an independent federal agency that would have reviewed President Trump’s ballroom construction project, a White House official confirms to NBC News.

Republicans want all of us to believe that Trump has unchecked power to do whatever he wants—but when it comes to making sure SNAP benefits continue so that hungry kids and seniors are fed (which, by the way, is required by law) his hands are somehow tied. What a sick joke.
