It's #WorldAnimalDay! Today, we celebrate all of the animals who call our planet home, including cats and the wildlife, like birds, with which they coexist. 🌎 Leading with nonlethal policies is how we make our world a better place for all animals. Thank you for helping us set that humane standard!

Q: Are high costs the biggest liability for Republican candidates? TRUMP: I inherited high costs from the Democrats. We've gotten prices down.

#VA02 Kiggans voted to cut food stamps for 22,000 VA families. Called it 'so necessary.' Then voted with Trump 100% of the time while your costs went up $1,700. She doesn't work for you. Elaine Luria will! Visit elaineforcongress.com/issues/ to learn more #Pinks #ProudBlue #OneV1

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.
