“They have one choice: either vote for border security or go tell Border Security that you don't care about their safety, and you're telling Americans you don't care about their safety.”

The farm bill is one of the most important pieces of legislation that Congress works on, and it has always been bipartisan.

But the version from House Republicans—MAGA Republicans—falls terribly short.

Their version will not have a future in the Senate.

Republicans have created a nightmare for women who need abortion care—and their bans are putting health care providers in impossible situations.

Doctors should never have to turn patients away just because politicians have tied their hands.
