Trump is now weaponizing hunger as a bargaining chip!
It's CRUEL and INHUMANE!

He’s weaponizing starvation — using the hunger of the American people as a bargaining chip. This isn’t leadership. It’s cruelty. It’s inhuman.

This is so sad. Deepest condolences to Darren and Cindy Bailey on the heartbreaking loss of their son Zachary, his wife Kelsey, and their children Vada Rose and Samuel in a tragic accident.
And for their grandson Finn, who lost his parents and siblings.

Republicans are LYING!
They know it!
They know it!
Republicans are lying that the ACA covers undocumented individuals.
It does not.
The ACA law states an “individual must be a citizen or national of the United States or an alien lawfully present in the United States” to purchase a plan. Democrats have not proposed any changes to that provision.

Yesterday, I visited the ICE detention center in Broadview. The boarded-up windows and doors raise troubling questions about what’s happening inside. I’m grateful to the neighbors on the ground demanding accountability and standing up for human rights.

The Department of War is something a dictator requests… and also what a protector of sex predators needs to distract from being named by sex traffickers
Both ARE true… and we all know that…

What Xi Jinping hosting Modi and Putin reveals about China’s plans for a new world order

Boycott NBC's The Voice to protest Snoop Dogg's homophobic attitudes. I love the show and haven't missed a show since its inception. I will refuse to watch until the show is #SnoopDoggless. #HomophobicDogg
Snoop Dogg branded ‘homophobic’ after weird comments about gay people, and people are angry
Ugh, we can't have anything (or anyone) nice

Touring farms and hosting my annual Barn Hall today.
I'm grateful to our farmers for sharing their challenges and priorities. I'll take what I've learned back to Washington to fight for the resources farmers need and deserve.
Stay tuned to check out where I go!
