Quit talking about Trump. Address everything, every issue to Miller and Vought. Make Trump irrelevant, his ego will not let him be out of the spotlight and you’ll see Miller and Vought removed and the rest of the administration collapse.

🥺 Sad eyes, sad face, only 3.5 years old, over 852 days waiting for that right person to adopt her. MELIA is just a playful, sweet, smart, fun, loving dog. Needing a Calm adult only home. No dogs.

This is Minneapolis:
Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city.
Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

Seen today on neighbor's large yard sign, which is updated often. The author, a Vietnam veteran, wrote, "Bullet struck Renee in Minnesota. It was fired in Mara Lago." The sign is topped by a drawing of our leader's bloated, sickly face.

A forage harvester chops alfalfa in Mettler CA, blowing it directly into trucks headed for dairy feed. The work requires tight coordination and long hours, even in the cold (it was 42° when this was taken), where stiff hands and low visibility make every pass harder. #WeFeedYou

Tips for new adoptive dog owners:
Leave a drag leash on, you can step on it to prevent door darting or other behaviors.
Let it explore on its own terms; give it a safe space (crate, room) to decompress.
Practice consent petting rather than smothering it with attention.
Learn @ rule of 3s.

I helped strike language from a key spending bill that would’ve shielded Bayer from legal accountability.
But the fight is far from over. SCOTUS must now weigh in.
Bayer is lobbying hard to stop states from putting warning labels on Roundup.
This isn't about politics. It's about right and wrong.

Residents taking their trash out is very threatening to ICE officers.
Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez: "Many of our immigrants neighbors are picked up simply by moving their cars. Help your neighbors take out the trash, because there are many reports of neighbors being kidnapped when they're taking their trash out."

Today marks 15 years since Gabby Giffords was shot at a constituent meeting, in an attack that killed 6 and wounded 13.
I am proud to cosponsor a bipartisan, bicameral resolution to honor the victims and their families today, and recommit to ending gun and political violence.

This tractor driver is mulching leftover watermelons in a field. It looks simple from a distance but takes skill. The driver moves slowly over uneven ground, watching for ruts, and makes sure every pass breaks down the old crop so the soil is ready for planting. #WeFeedYou

You need to guess right at what an angry, masked ICE goon is yelling at you to do, for having the audacity of utilizing your First Amendment right to protest their no due process abduction and imprisonment operations or you will be summarily executed. 🇺🇸

Fresno county farm workers are planting onion seeds for next years' harvest. They are basically bent over or on their knees on cold damp ground all day long. In this cold and weather that is hard on their body and they share their bones ache at the end of the day. #WeFeedYou

Workers in King City CA are harvesting broccoli. They earn piece rate so try to go as fast as they can so they could earn more money. However this field has been harvested before and this is the last pass. It is hard to harvest enough to make more than minimum wage. #WeFeedYou
