We cannot leave families behind during this Republican-led government shutdown.

Proud to help introduce legislation today to protect WIC and ensure states are reimbursed for providing this critical funding for our communities.

Congressman Gabe Amo @amo.house.gov · 1d

🔔New bill to protect women & children from the Republican shutdown 🔔

My new CARE for WIC During a Shutdown Act ensures states have certainty they will receive federal government reimbursement to ensure moms & kids see no disruption to WIC when there is a shutdown.

A friendly reminder on Day 8 of the Republican-led government shutdown: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. They own this shutdown and all of its consequences.

I agree, a defining moment of our era. What is ICE? This is ICE.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

It’s the silence of the Republican House you need to hear. They aren’t doing anything. No oversight. No work. Trying to blame Democrats for their incompetence. We have voices. Use them peacefully and patriotically to protest your government. They want violence. Don’t give it to them.

If it isn’t bad enough that House Republicans shut down the government rather than protect health care, Trump is slashing Social Security.

❌Plotting to strip disability benefits
❌Distracting the Social Security head with a second important job
❌Making Social Security insolvent sooner

My name is Fred Wellman. I didn’t spend 22 yrs in uniform to watch politicians line their pockets and pose for cameras.

I built field hospitals. I took on oligarchs & investigated corruption. Now I’m taking the fight to Congress. #mo2

Thanks for having me, @markmaxwelltv.bsky.social

Yes. Ann Wagner thinks you’re a sucker.

She made $3.6M in one month trading the same companies she’s supposed to regulate in Congress.

I’m running to end the corruption.

If you know Fred then you know he has always had your back when it comes to putting Americans first—especially veterans. He’s always been a fighter and now he wants to fight for you bc his mission is not done.

My opponent thinks we are suckers. She thinks we don’t see through her smoke and mirrors on the shutdown. It’s easy to skip a paycheck when you’re a multimillionaire like she is. She’s out of touch and out of gas. Let’s replace her with someone who wants to do the work. @wellmanformo.bsky.social

Millions of veterans got this email from the official VA account with a blatant political smear and lie about the government shutdown yesterday. This is a massive violation of the law and federal regulations using our government resources for political actions.

After Fred served his first of 4 combat tours, his wife Jennifer was killed in a horrific car accident that also claimed the baby she had been carrying for 7 months. That kind of heartbreak sticks with you.
