The Farm Bill preserves the safety net to ensure families & children in need won't go hungry, rolling back Republican efforts to destroy nutrition aid. As Matthew 25 teaches us, “whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me” (1/3)

In particular, I thank my colleagues @GKButterfield, @RepRichmond, @RepDWStweets, @RepDanKildee, and @LucyWins2018 for nominating and seconding my nomination for Majority Whip. (2/2)

I thank all my House Democratic colleagues for the faith and confidence they have expressed in me to serve as Majority Whip in the 116th Congress. https://bit.ly/2Aua50t  @HouseDemocrats (1/2)

I was honored to address the 2010 graduation class at Clemson University, and I’ve been deeply saddened to learn of the passing of @TyroneGayle. My deepest sympathy and sincere condolences to his family and friends

After this week’s hateful and bigoted acts of violence, we need common sense gun violence prevention policies and leaders who will work cooperatively to redeem the soul of America. Praying for the many victims and their families
