Folks are showing up to help in Texas — this is what America First truly means. This is what Making America Great Again looks like.
It’s not about red states or blue states, the left or the right — it’s about people coming together.
Love wins. Hate won’t make America first. Unity will. 🇺🇸

Grateful for the quick response from federal and Texas leaders—and for the heroic first responders working behind the scenes. Praying for the families and communities facing this horrific tragedy. When our children are involved, politics doesn't matter—we just care. 💔

Thank you, Governor Newsom.
If loving my state and supporting its leaders is wrong, then count me in. California is the 4th largest economy in the world—and yet some still seek to harm our people and our state. We stand strong. We stand proud.💙

No income test. No red tape. Just smart policy that feeds kids and fuels learning.

Investing in a universal school meal program is a no-brainer.
The long-term cost savings are huge — better health, stronger academics, reduced poverty.
Feed kids now, or pay later in healthcare, lost productivity, and inequality.

Losing SNAP means more than fewer groceries. It can mean fewer kids get free school lunch.
Nearly 1 million students could lose automatic access.
Thousands of schools may no longer qualify for universal meals.

Without glucose, the brain struggles to store and recall information — especially in the hippocampus.
2. Slower Cognitive Development
Chronic malnutrition can shrink brain volume and delay language skills.
