Farm workers are picking tomatoes in Los Banos area. "We go in at 7am and get off at 1pm. We are bent over for those hours and our backs ache by the end of the work day. When we get home we often take pain meds and use ointments for relief." #WeFeedYou
Pete Hegseth has failed the American people. He's failed our service members. And he's failed to uphold the Constitution. He has no business serving as Secretary of Defense. When Congress returns in November, I'm a YES on impeachment.
Hegseth dismisses other countries contribution to fighting in Afghanistan. Whether or not the west was right to be there, the US lost about 2400 troops, and the UK lost about 450 alone. The US is five times the size of the UK. Britain pulled its fucking weight. www.stripes.com/theaters/us/...

I don’t understand why farmers need an endless series of welfare payments from the rest of us since Trump took office. Aren’t his policies working for you? You need us to pay you so you will keep voting for the guy who is failing you? Don’t you believe in free market capitalism?
Jared Kushner cannot legally participate in meetings as Trump's envoy unless and until he is confirmed by the Senate and files financial disclosures. We sued to enforce the law last week. So, no, he can't join this meeting with Zelensky today.
