This time of year is beautiful to many.
Personally, I love it.
However, it is also bitterly cold, especially for some of our most vulnerable individuals, who have no shelter to turn to.
When I took this photo yesterday, it was definitely below freezing outside.

On this frigid morning, I am thinking of those who don't have shelter...😞
No one should be unhoused in such a wealthy nation.
Homelessness is a failure of the state. We can and must do better.

The #leadership at the #Pentagon appears to be uncertain about where its allegiance lies.

We need to talk about who is dying and why in childbirth in the U.S. 📊
You have likely seen the viral video recently from a distressed pregnant woman; I won't rehash that event again, as it is painful for many.
We must address the systemic issues that often become viral videos.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is finally set to resume payments. Millions of Americans have received no federal food assistance in November due to the 43-day shutdown, while others received partial funds or full payments between the court battles.

This Saturday morning, come have a cup of joe with Joe ahead of the CD-5 Candidate forum. Come chat, hear his vision for the role, tell him what's on your mind and pick his brain about what an effective representative in Congress will do for our district.
