Lori Trahan, U.S. Congresswoman representing Massachusetts’ 3rd district since 2019, used her social media platform on November 4, 2025, to comment on recent federal actions and legislative priorities.
In a post made at 19:24 UTC, Trahan stated, “Donald Trump just announced that he is knowingly violating multiple federal court orders by refusing to release $5 BILLION in SNAP funding that families need to put food on the table this week. This will be devastating for millions of Americans.” The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides crucial food assistance to low-income individuals and families across the United States.
Earlier that day, at 17:57 UTC, Trahan shared a link without additional commentary: https://t.co/AvjacKLib5. Later in the evening, she called for legislative action from her Republican colleagues with the message: “The GOP needs to get back to work and make our country affordable.”
Trahan’s comments come amid ongoing debates over government spending and food assistance programs. She has represented Massachusetts’s 3rd District since succeeding Niki Tsongas in 2019 and previously served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. Born in Lowell, Massachusetts in 1973, Trahan currently resides in Westford and graduated from Georgetown University with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1995.
