The government shutdown has delayed Head Start from providing nutrition and education services to 716k children annually.
We have a bipartisan responsibility to help working families not halt assistance they rely on. We need to vote to reopen the government and provide Americans relief.

Elon Musk has acquired billions in government subsidies and tax breaks.
Tesla shareholders will vote whether to make him the world’s first Trillionaire.
The moral of the story is this:
If you ask for affordable healthcare & food, you’re a mooch.
If you ask for billions, you’re an entrepreneur.

A drone company that Donald Trump Jr. advises won a contract with the U.S. government.
That raises ethics questions—and it’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Don Jr.’s business ties that overlap with the government.

Ya know who grew up receiving nutritional assistance provided by the federal government – JD Vance. Now, he’s ripping SNAP away from tens of millions of hungry kids. Growing up in poverty isn't a crime, JD – just ask your Jesus.
