I have a message for President Trump: the money you are withholding from the SNAP program is not yours to withhold. It belongs to the American taxpayers. 

Release the funds now.

Entrepreneurs shouldn't be left behind as technology evolves. My AI-WISE Act helps connect small business owners with the AI training and resources they need to compete.

🚨BREAKING🚨

The House just PASSED @RepGregoryMeeks' Iran War Powers Resolution.

This is a loud and unambiguous message to Donald Trump on behalf of the American people: it’s time to end his deeply unpopular and illegal war of choice in Iran.

Kent County health officials have detected West Nile virus in mosquito samples in parts of Grand Rapids and Wyoming. As we spend more time outdoors this summer, remember to use insect repellent, wear protective clothing, and eliminate standing water around your home.

You can't put a price on a lifetime of getting out of IRS audits for a known tax evader.

Trump may be pausing on his slush fund, but he's still making sure he doesn't have to play by the same rules as you do.
