We need to pass @rokhanna.bsky.socialโs bill to restore mandatory country-of-origin labeling and help ensure a fairer marketplace for farmers and ranchers.
WATCH โ @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : โMy amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two yearsโฆ a far better use of taxpayer dollars.โ
Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?
The American people deserve answers, and itโs time for the DOJ and FBI to provide them.
While we appreciate that the Epstein estate has been transparent, itโs time for the Administration to do their part.
Republicans dropped a last-minute provision into the funding bill that would funnel millions of taxpayer dollars to eight Republican senators.
People can't afford their food or health care and yet, Republicans are only concerned with enriching themselves.
NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.
Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. Itโs erasure of history and itโs straight-up racism.
