I'm so proud to be part of this. I was really losing sleep at the thought that there would be children going to bed hungry in my community.

“You don’t just flip a switch…” —Mike Johnson
It took them less than six months to pass a budget bill that gave billionaires permanent tax breaks and stripped away nearly $1T in Medicaid from Americans and ACA susbsidies.
Also notable — Trump starting issuing tariffs 10 days after being sworn in.

Mike Johnson: "That's the reason the inflation is up, the cost of living is up so high -- because of the policies of the previous administration. Now, we're working to root those policies out and implement our own, but it takes a little time."

Just be aware that most states have closed primaries so you won't be able to vote in those. And as you smart folks know, primaries are critical to weed out wackos and bad bills.
