@RepRichardNeal As your constituent, I urge you to reject adding more funds for deadly immigration detention and mass arrests, which terrorizes our communities and fuels a system of mass incarceration for profit. Our communities deserve better. We all deserve better. Thank you.

There is funding that can and must be used. @USDA

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

I am demanding that @USDA @SecRollins use the contingency funding already appropriated by Congress to ensure that food benefits go out next month to the over 1 million people in Massachusetts who rely on SNAP to put food on the table.

We must choose what kind of world we want to build together.

We must choose peace rooted in international law.

We must choose human rights & dignity.

We must choose climate justice.

We must choose to put technology at the service of humanity.

We must choose to strengthen the @UN.

https://t.co/h3BrxispgE “”Secretary Rubio, why do you have taxpayers pay storage costs that amount to more than $600,000 so far for this lifesaving peanut paste, rather than rush it to children like Fred who may die for want of it? The storage bill is increasing by $10,000 a day.

The House has already approved the admin's huge cuts to vital foreign assistance programs which means the Senate is our last chance to stop this reckless decision. Email your Senators to tell them to vote NO when this hits the floor. @ONEinAmerica https://t.co/38ue12B6Gh
