When I was Secretary @USDA I was flashed in Rome, pelted with bison guts in Montana, showered with soda in DC, and almost nailed with a pie. The pie came flying at me after a protester called me a pimp for the meat industry! (1/9)

@ethancorson Ethan will be an excellent Governor and I am proud to endorse him.

RFK Jr. says the cyclospora outbreak is ‘under control.’

It’s not.

@Hamilton4Kansas I concur with Mr Hamilton. Ridiculous to blame Biden as he left office 18 months ago. As Harry Truman said "the buck stops here". Blaming Biden does nothing to do to solve the problem. Up to the current crew to help solve this potential catastrophe.

[Dan Glickman @DanRGlickman]

@aarondmiller2 I agree Aaron. His comments on J Street were totally uncalled for and unproductive.

[Dan Glickman @DanRGlickman]

@sharicedavids Congratulations to a fine Kansas member of Congress. Proud of you representation, especially for your work on behalf of Kansas farmers and ranchers.

[Dan Glickman @DanRGlickman]

@ChrisClaytonDTN Sorry to read about this. When in Congress I sponsored the law authorizing the soybean promotion and check off program.

[Dan Glickman @DanRGlickman]

@FarmActionUS But most people do deeply care about food safety, ingredients, food quality, and a growing interest in nutrition and relationship between food, health and medicine. Farmers need to be engaged in this opportunity.

[Dan Glickman @DanRGlickman]

@NoLieWithBTC This very disturbing. The US Forest Service is a gem and national treasure in protecting America's conservation heritage.

[Dan Glickman @DanRGlickman]

@ChrisClaytonDTN He has a lot of trouble with the truth. And blaming Biden for all the problems facing America's farmers belies the President's tariffs, restrictions on ag exports, and current energy and fertilizer issues.

@NormOrnstein From Fiddler on the Roof and "If I were a Rich Man". Famous line that " if you're rich they really think you know".

[Dan Glickman @DanRGlickman]

Really disturbing about the failure to fund the salaries of our TSA workers, needed for security at airports and to insure the employment of hundreds of thousands Americans. There are deep divisions on homeland security issues, but still unconscionable they are not being paid.

[Dan Glickman @DanRGlickman]

It's shocking that Congress still has not passed a law prohibiting Members of the House and Senate from trading of individual stocks. I frankly cannot understand the failure to act and help restore trust in the institution.

[Brendan Nyhan (@BrendanNyhan on 🟦☁️) @BrendanNyhan]

His wealth went up from $2.8-9M to $29-97M while in office and the key steps were (a) selling his family plumbing business to a donor for $25-50M and (b) a series of apparently well-timed stock trades.

[Dan Glickman @DanRGlickman]

@ChrisClaytonDTN The goal is good but I hope this is truly a cooperative and collaborative effort with folks at USDA.

@LizSchrayer @USGLC @cindymccain @WFP Cindy has done a fine job helping to save the lives of the hungry worldwide. The Jewish Talmud says that if you save one life you save the entire world. Cindy has more than lived up to that.

I saw Neil Sedaka and Dionne Warwick in concert in Wichita in 1972. They were both great performers, and Sedaka's songs are still wonderful and brilliant.

[Dan Glickman @DanRGlickman]

Before the US deploys in Iran massive military strength, billions of dollars of weapons, and the potential for extensive loss of life of young American men and women, he explain in detail to the American people the rationale for that intervention, and explain to Congress as well

[Dan Glickman @DanRGlickman]

@aarondmiller2 Agree Aaron. And Congress must be informed and engaged in this decision.

[Dan Glickman @DanRGlickman]

@CMEFoundation Thanks. Appreciate the great work of the CME Foundation. Thanks to Terry Duffy, Charlie Carey and Eva Giglio.

[Dan Glickman @DanRGlickman]

@BarbaraComstock @JDVance Disgusting behavior.

[Dan Glickman @DanRGlickman]

@PeteButtigieg I served with Lee for many years in the Congress. He was one of the most intelligent, decent and smart people who has ever served. Like and respected across the aisle.
