This is beautiful. 🥹

Statistically, there is a higher concentration of LGBT community members in rural areas than there are in urban.

Paint a rainbow today to support an entire community.

Sending ❤️ to all the 🌈s today. Keep showing up!!

Either his guilty conscience is getting slippery, or that's a helluva maneuver to get out of answering hard questions he doesn't like. 💁

Just remember that Trump's entire second term is Mitch's fault. 🤬

How many of you know that a US state was hit with a Category 4 storm yesterday?

Typhoon Halong struck Alaska with winds in excess of 160mph. They had no warning. This is why funding the NWS is so crucial to all Americans.

Recent analysis released this week by KFF, the nonpartisan health research organization, reports premiums would increase 114% on average, and the people it will hit hardest are working families in rural areas like farmers and blue collar workers.

BREAKING: Trump-appointed judge issues stark warning for the direction of our nation.

Judge Karin's order blocking the deployment of troops to Oregon said the "President's determination was simply untethered to the facts" and moves us closer to martial law.

It's the game hide and seek, Republican style. Come out come out wherever you are! 🫣

Well, we know they're not at home doing Town Halls with constituents. 🤷‍♂️

Promise none of this is a metaphor.

We can be disappointed with how many farmers chose to vote last year. But we can't help them understand why that was a bad vote if the family farmer goes bankrupt before the next election. And we all need to eat. Support farmers.

Did you know THIS is why the government might shut down in a week?! Republicans refuse to fund healthcare or support rural hospitals, raising your healthcare costs $7K/yr. This what you voted for?

Game Bird season begins today in Kansas with the opening of the Greater Prairie Chicken hunting season.

Please remember to not be like Kristi Noem and execute your puppy because it is “less than worthless” as a “hunting dog” and “untrainable.”
