Enjoying #Shrinking Season3.
Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

My bill establishes a formal inter-parliamentary dialogue between the United States, Japan, & South Korea to bolster cooperation and advance our shared interests & values. 🇺🇸 🇯🇵 🇰🇷
We built a foreign aid system that supported American farmers, fed the world, and saved millions of lives — all for just 1% of the federal budget.
I'm damn proud of that legacy.
What Trump is doing to dismantle it is a shameful betrayal of the values that make America great.

Mass layoffs like this further undermine our national security and global leadership.
