I'm greatful for the leadership displayed by @khanna.house.gov Rep. Massie in support of these courageous women. They have begun the difficult task of demanding transparency. We must work together to ensure accountability and justice follow.

This Labor Day, I am grateful for the workers who gave their lives to establish better working conditions and rights for future generations.

With the National Labor Relations Board in jeopardy, we must work together to support our labor unions! 💪

Image of text that reads: I am strongly in support of Governor Newsom's effort to redistrict California in response to Republican efforts to gerrymander the next election. While I agree that mid-decade redistricting as well as gerrymandering are both extremely problematic, our democracy is on the line and as the most populated state in the union, California has a duty to fight in defense of The People. Authoritarianism is a clear and present danger to our citizens and the nation as a whole and we must do everything we can to resist. I especially appreciate the representatives that vote in favor of this action even at the expense of their next election. Jim Salegui for Congress

We've had an eventful week with a trolling Newsom, a defiant sandwich sling, welcoming a war criminal, & a rattled LaMalfa, but it still wasn't enough to forget the Epstein files!

Regardless of CA maps, I am committed to securing districts, serving The People, and defending our democracy.

It's incredible how Rep. LaMalfa skipped over the constitutionality of this military action and immediately latched onto its ideological argument.

Congress did not authorize this attack and the President ignored intelligence reports.

Photo of statement from Rep. Doug LaMalfa Facebook account. It states: The President’s decision to carry out a targeted strike on Iranian nuclear sites was the right move. It was necessary, and sent a clear message. No other country has the capability to take out this type of threat. I support President Trump’s decision to take action before it was too late. Iran’s leaders chant “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” as official policy and they mean it. They’ve made it clear that if they ever got their hands on a nuclear weapon, they’d use it on America and Israel. We could not leave major Iranian nuclear sites operational and intact. I hope Iran will take the President’s offer now. They’ve had many chances to give up their weapons ambitions.

🧵Farmers and farm owners generally do not receive the same type of stable monthly income as other US workers. They typically receive a large payment upon sale of seasonal crops. For many, this seasonal lump sum must last until the next harvest and payment is never guaranteed.
