They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

Trump's tariffs are a TAX that will cost the average family nearly $4,000 *per year.*

Congress has the power to immediately reverse the Trump tax on families—and we should do so ASAP.

Any Republican who refuses to is joining Trump in raising prices and destroying the economy.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Congresswoman Nita Lowey was a trailblazer. A tough-as-nails negotiator & the first woman to chair the House Appropriations Committee. My heart goes out to her family and loved ones.

Rep. Lowey leaves behind an unforgettable legacy: a fighter for working people & women's rights.

Our LGBTQ+ community needs to feel loved and supported. As the first Kentucky governor to attend the state fairness rally, I am proud to keep showing up and standing with my fellow Kentuckians.

Hate has no place in our commonwealth or country. Let's keep showing love.
