I will continue to work with my Democratic and Republican colleagues to find ways to make things more affordable for hardworking farmers and families.
This is due to chaotic tariffs and taxpayer dollars being spent on unauthorized, unending wars. which have driven up input costs and disrupted America’s supply chains. This is not only making it more expensive to farm, but also more expensive to put food on the table.
This week, I met with the Georgia Corn Growers’ Association. Even though this year’s corn yield is estimated to be the second highest corn harvest in history, this good news is undercut because ag production costs have skyrocketed over the past year and a half.
Doing so will help make sure that healthcare is accessible and more affordable for all, especially in rural and other underserved communities.
It is crucial that Congress and the federal government have the resources to support institutions like Morehouse and its students so that America can continue to produce the best physicians and healthcare professionals to meet our country’s growing needs.
Today, I was glad to meet with Dr. Valerie Montgomery Rice, the President and CEO of Morehouse School of Medicine in Georgia.
I will work hard on Capitol Hill to ensure Congress does not forget the horrors of Jim Crow-era laws so we remain vigilant against efforts to disenfranchise, intimidate, & otherwise put up obstacles to those who have the right to vote so that they can add their voice to the chorus of our democracy!
Today is #NationalVoterRegistrationDay. America’s democracy works best when all citizens are empowered to vote. That starts w/ being registered to vote. Today is a great day to confirm your registration, help someone you know register, & make your plan to vote in upcoming elections.

As we solemnly remember the victims, let us recommit ourselves – in Congress and in communities across the country – to stand against bigotry as well as vigilantly uphold the principles of empowerment, equality, and justice embodied by the Civil Rights Movement.
On this day in 1963, as parishioners gathered to pray, a bomb ripped through the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL. This terrorist attack by white supremacists murdered four children, injured dozens more, and shocked our nation.
I still think of my friends who lost loved ones that day and remain committed to supporting the first responders, survivors, and their families who live with the legacy of these attacks.
I still clearly remember the events of that day – the uncertainty and destruction in DC, New York, and Pennsylvania – but also how our country came together in the days, weeks, months, and years that followed.
As we commemorate the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on our nation, we remember those that we lost and honor the heroes who put their lives on the line to save others.

Therefore, I am asking GAO to make sure this assistance is not enriching foreign-owned conglomerates and large agribusinesses like it was during the first Trump Administration’s Market Facilitation Program.
I reached out to the president directly several times, before these Bridge Payment programs were created, to ask him to keep small and midsized farmers in mind, to remember specialty crop producers, and to ensure American farms received this assistance, but he ignored this advice.
He is trying to put a bandage on these self-inflicted wounds and ended up insulting American farmers with $25-an-acre and $65-an-acre payments, when the cost of production is HUNDREDS per acre!
President Trump has not kept his promise to bring gas prices down to $2/gal. Instead, he is chaotically applying tariffs & using taxpayer dollars for an unending, unauthorized war in Iran which has skyrocketed the price of diesel, fertilizer, & other inputs our American farmers need to keep us fed.
Happy #LaborDay! Today, we honor the workers whose skill, dedication, and contributions keep our communities thriving. I will continue to work hard in Congress to support good-paying jobs, and fight for strong worker protections as well as an economy where hard work pays off.
