A government’s most important job is to meet its promises to its citizens. For 1/
8th of our neighbors, our government has failed to complete that job to make sure
families had food on their tables.

It is unacceptable that the Trump administration had to be reprimanded by the courts
to do the obvious thing to make sure 40 million people had food to eat. It is also
unacceptable that our representatives cannot do the obvious, humane things to open
our government.

It’s well past time to get back to work.
