This week in Congress was a total clown show. Under Speaker Johnson’s failed leadership, Republicans can’t govern without tripping over themselves and hurting the American People in the process.
We can do so much better.

Wow, sounds like he lied to me…
Republicans know their farm bill—which locks in MASSIVE cuts to nutrition assistance—is awful. So they forced us to debate it in the dead of night.
They thought they could sneak it by without the American People noticing. They were wrong.
Good News: we scored a BIG WIN by stripping the pesticide company liability shield from the Republican Farm Bill.
Bad News: the farm bill STILL makes America LESS HEALTHY by locking in massive cuts to nutrition assistance which make hunger worse.
The fight is still on.
This farm bill hurts rural communities, betrays farmers, and locks in the $187 billion Republicans stole from food assistance to give tax breaks to billionaires—you can't be healthy if you're hungry, but this bill makes it harder for families to afford good, nutritious food.
Republicans have failed to deliver.
Prices are through the roof. The U.S. is alone and isolated on the world stage. And working people are struggling while billionaires get another tax break.
It’s time for some serious change.
The Republican agenda sucks. Luckily, they appear to be tanking their own legislation because they’re in such disarray.
This terrible ruling will effectively let MAGA erode our democracy and rig the rules to stay in power—letting states disenfranchise Black, Latino, Native American, & Asian American voters.
We should get to decide who represents us in Congress—not extremist Republicans or a far-right activist court.
He blocked the release of the Epstein Files, sold his soul to a sex offender president, and protects Congressman Mills who had a restraining order against him for dating violence.
Call me a pessimist but I don’t think Speaker Johnson is going to crack down on misconduct.
Republicans say there’s not enough to feed hungry families but then go ahead and write a blank check for defense contractors.
These people don’t give a shit about you.
Congress is a complete clown show under this Republican leadership.
I still can’t get an answer from Republican leadership: why does their farm bill shield pesticide companies like Bayer-Monsanto from liability for selling toxic pesticides that cause cancer? If the products are so safe, what are they so afraid of?
The GOP Farm Bill is poison for families & farmers—ripping food assistance away from hungry families & letting corporations dump cancer-causing chemicals into our air, water, and food.
The only people that want this sit in the Monsanto boardroom.
Chemical companies & pesticide lobbyists dump more than $1 MILLION into politicians’ campaign coffers EACH YEAR.
So when you’re wondering why the GOP Farm Bill protects corporations that spray cancer-causing chemicals on our food…the answer is clear.
Follow the money.
Your Farm Bill literally lets pesticide corporations dump cancer-causing chemicals into our air, water, and food…
Trump's record after his first term in office was clear as day. He consistently stalled and reversed bans on toxic chemicals and pesticides, and he's doing it again.
He said this time would be different. He lied.
Donald Trump & Republicans:
-Signed an Executive Order boosting glyphosate.
-Rolled back drinking water standard for PFAS.
-Put a liability shield for pesticide companies in their farm bill.
The Chair of the House Agriculture Committee can’t even tell me how many veterans in his district lost nutrition assistance thanks to Trump’s Big Ugly Bill…
…and now he has the audacity to try to lock in those cuts for 5 YEARS?!
The Republican Farm Bill protects companies like Monsanto that dump toxic, cancer-causing pesticides into our food, air, and water. It creates a brand-new liability shield to protect them from the court cases they keep losing.
Why? Follow the money.
Trump continues to burn through billions and billions (and billions) of dollars on his reckless, illegal war with Iran, and THIS is what he’s feeding our troops? This is a DISGRACE!
