Enjoy while you can. Family farms are in their sites…..your folks got rid of a lot of them with Reagan-now you are helping them with the rest. I can’t imagine why they support you.
What are the farm policy goals you will be supporting this year?
Please work to end all federal and state subsidies that install big solar panel arrays on farm land. We can't eat solar panels. I'm ok with people putting panels on their own properties for personal power needs. And if there's a green reason to subsidize that, so be it.

When are you going to hold a town hall? When are you going to uphold your oath of office?
Supporting a day intended to mock the One True Church's authority in the Canonization process. Whatever is politically expedient, huh? Where is your line on that? Even Pilate was acting on political expedience killing Jesus despite not finding guilt. Would you go that far? We can't see where your line is, if there is one.
Don’t touch Social Security Medicare. I’ve paid for them my whole working life. Tax the rich-they can afford it. Work for the people not the rich😖😖😖

Hey, well let's celebrate then and have a gathering at a town hall and celebrate! Come on what are you waiting for let's celebrate these good times with all your constituents
And yet Congress continues to ignore the fact they are voting people into positions they are not qualified for. They are passing bills that only benefit the elite in this country. They have deliberately ignored the fact Elon Musk is rampaging through our Government and ruining the dreams of many Americans who only want a job with benefits and a salary to afford a decent home, food, and transportation to and from work. The American Dream is slipping away for the next generation because the Republicans continue to complain in private but do nothing to help their Constituents.

Here’s to a cozy weekend in!
Good god, Pete. hey, while you're drinking that coffee, here's some reading matter from Quora, where people ask questions and get answers: Question: Not a single Democrat has come out condemning the wastes, fraud, and abuse uncovered by Musk. Why are Democrats so scared of government transparency and accountability? Answer: We aren’t. We ARE aware that whatever DOGE is doing seems to violate the law, does not have the imprimatur of Congress and seems to violate the basics of auditing, corruption busting, and even basic criminal investigation. The Republicans either don’t know that; or do KNOW IT and simply don’t care. Let’s see: Elon Musk and his DOGE flunkies have ZERO experience working with or within the departments they are “auditing” - That is so absurd and frankly so fraught with criminal and civil problems that rational people wouldn’t have even attempted to undertake it. No auditors, subject matter exerts, nor accountants seem to be involved in what DOGE is doing - That’s going to provide a field day for the armies of attorneys who are going to be suing the government for their actions as the group is making claims which they cannot support using the legally understood methodologies of auditing. No one from Congress appears to be involved in the so-called “audits” - Since Congress, by LAW, controls the spending and creation/dissolution of federal agencies and departments, how DOGE is closing down departments and halting spending without violating black letter law is uncertain. In fact, not involving Congress strips away much of the veneer of legitimacy that the POTUS is trying to give it. Corruption,waste and abuse sound like allegations of criminal activity - The Department of Justice (DOJ) would be require to take point after allegation such as this were made as that means crimes may have been committed. The longer that DOJ is held away from the matter the less likely that viable prosecutions can be made. In fact, keeping the DOJ away could itself be viewed as being a series of coverups which themselves could be viewed as being crimes. The T**** Administration is doing a particularly poor job of making it clear why this is happening - If they have nothing to hide, then the DOGE would be explained in detail, Congress would be thoroughly involved in the matter, and they would have presented evidence that supports their claims. They are doing none of that and in fact their attacking critics seems to indicate that they cannot support the assertions that they are making. Democrats see this as a questionable attempt to seize more power for the Executive Branch. Republicans, on the other hand, seem to be unwilling to challenge T**** and seem to be willing to accept explanations which make no sense when they are scrutinized closely. You buy what the White House is selling. The Democrats don’t, as they know that T****’s credibility is nonexistent.
Pete having a disabled child and allowing the dept. of education to be dismanted is just unbelievable. The first programs that will be cut is special education. Which I'm sure you and your son benefitted from these programs. How can you support this!

This is so immature and shows how uneducated and classless maga supporters are. You should be embarrassed of the way you act as a politician.
This graphic is a lie. The only thing the GOP believes in is power for its own sake. But if you want examples, let's start. 1. Free Enterprise -> You got talk of punishing businesses for not carrying water for Trump and trying to force them to stop doing business the way they do because you don't like their politics. 2. Secure Borders -> You refused to force a vote on Border Security bill that included money for scanners for Fentanyl. Scanners now sitting unused in a warehouse. All to please Trump and help him get elected. 3. Honest Elections -> A Republican in North Carolina is trying to toss out votes for the State Supreme Court seat, many of them from Veterans and active duty personnel... all because he lost the election and the numerous recounts. 3. Real Journalism -> MSM is dead, but your party is still trying to punish and threaten journalists who won't carry water. 4. Ethical Judiciary -> Do we need to discuss the MULTIPLE lapses in reporting on gifts, travel, and donations of Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito? 5. Civil Rights -> The Trump Administration arrested a Green Card holder for his speech because the admin didn't like it and is arguing it is against the foreign policy interests of the nation. This is after how many years hearing about how the Civil Rights of the J6's were violated? 6. Moral Standards -> Trump has a long history of cheating on his wives. His entire family is banned from running charities in New York because they stole from Children with Cancer. 7. Personal Liberty -> This only seems to suit when it is stuff you agree with. Should I point to the Veteran who was escorted out in North Carolina this week? Or how about the woman in Idaho dragged out by a private security firm? This list is just off the top of my head.
