St. Louis families should never be left out in the cold. Protecting LIHEAP means protecting low-income families from dangerous winter conditions.
That’s a responsibility we can’t ignore.

Mohammad Ali Dadfar risked his life protecting U.S. troops in Afghanistan. He followed every rule to seek safety for his family, yet the Trump admin detained him without cause. A federal judge ruled his rights were violated. Our allies deserve dignity and due process, not punishment.
