NEWS: Today the Trump Administration declared a victory for launching a “Product of the USA label” for meat However, this is a VOLUNTARY program that was originally implemented by Biden Administration Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack. You can find the old announcement here: usda.gov/about-usda/new… The new label from today’s announcement does not mandate that the BigPackers who import inferior, foreign trim meat to blend it with high-quality American beef will be required to disclose the origin of the product they are selling—which means the American grocery store shopper will still have absolutely no idea where their beef is coming from—unless the seller VOLUNTARILY CHOOSES to disclose. And what’s not to say that blended foreign/domestic burger isn’t a Product of the USA? For the last 6 months, we have been working behind the scenes with some Patriots in the Administration to help draft an executive order on MANDATORY Country of Origin Labeling (MCOOL), which would have also helped shake loose the MCOOL bill sitting stagnantly in the House. We have attached the draft in the comments below. The EO made it all the way to the Oval for approval, however was ultimately shot down by USDA leadership citing “affordability” concerns—of which there are no valid economic studies proving that MCOOL would increase prices in the grocery stores. The affordability concern is merely an argument perpetuated by BigAg funded groups to prevent transparency and competition in the American cattle industry. The point of this post is to encourage American consumers to STAY LOUD in your desire to get MCOOL across the finish line. While we are extremely disappointed in certain groups and individuals who have sold out for “access” and photo opportunities, we will always remain strong in our belief that the American public deserves more than a VOLUNTARY policy that won’t hold BigPackers accountable. We’re not giving up anytime soon to MAKE BEEF AMERICAN AGAIN 🇺🇸

Minneapolis @MayorFrey: "I just saw a video of more than six masked agents pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death. How many more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?"

@nogg_the @MeidasTouch Ice relieved the man of his gun BEFORE shooting him:

Man killed by federal agent in Minneapolis was a 37-year-old US citizen, police chief says. Follow live updates. cnn.it/4jY5lpb

The scene must be secured by local law enforcement for preservation of evidence. We expect the federal government to allow the BCA to process the scene. Please submit video from the scene here: hennepinprosecutor.evidence.com/axon/community…

BREAKING: The Minneapolis PD are now reporting that ICE has taken witnesses from the shooting today to the Whipple Federal building and ordered the local police to LEAVE the scene immediately. What the hell are they trying to cover up?

🚨BREAKING It looks like ICE just shot and killed someone else in Minneapolis.

🚨BREAKING: NEW Video shows moments before ICE/Border Patrol agents executed the man in Minneapolis, as he lay motionless on the ground. In the video, a 51 year old the man was filming agents when they come over and push him, with only his phone in his hand. No gun, no threat. Just a man exercising his first amendment right.

🚨BREAKING: Video shows ICE agents shooting an unarmed person, as agents wrestle the person to the ground, in Minneapolis, near Glam Doll Donuts. You can then see agents open fire on the man’s body as he lies motionless on the ground. This just happened. More details to come.

BREAKING: Over 100 priests arrested in Minneapolis for protesting ICE in Minnesota where today it's -21 degrees outside MSP Airport. The clergy gathered in prayerful solidarity to demand airlines — especially @Delta and Signature Aviation — cease contracting deportation flights to DHS. So far, over 2,000 deportations have gone through MSP, per organizers.

@lisamurkowski You’re a coward.

This was one of the hardest votes I have taken during my time in the Senate.   My goal throughout the reconciliation process has been to make a bad bill better for Alaska, and in many ways, we have done that. In addition to extending pro-growth tax cuts, a larger child tax credit, and no tax on tips or overtime, we made a historic investment and modernization of the Coast Guard; enhanced our border security and national defense; funded aviation safety, including AWOS/VWOS systems that will save lives; and provided tax-exempt status for the Community Development Quota Program to help western Alaska communities establish a sustainable economy, among other provisions.   We have advanced new opportunities for resource development in the NPR-A, the Coastal Plain, and Cook Inlet that will help us create jobs and increase the share of revenues our state receives. I also co-led the Senate effort to restore a slightly longer phase-out for wind and solar tax credits while deleting a punitive excise tax targeting them.   Those provisions will benefit our economy, but it is the people of Alaska that I worry about the most, especially when it comes to the potential loss of social safety net programs—Medicaid coverage and SNAP benefits—that our most vulnerable populations rely on.   To address the bill’s shortcomings, we have helped our communities through a $50 billion rural health fund. This will mean hundreds of millions of dollars for Alaska hospitals, community health centers, and other providers. We secured commitments from the CMS Administrator to continue to address longstanding priorities which will directly help Bartlett, Fairbanks Memorial, Central Peninsula, and other hospitals in Alaska.   In the SNAP program, we have added tribal exemptions for work requirements, delayed cost-share penalties to help Alaska get benefits to the people who need them, and included work requirement waivers that align with our Medicaid policies. We also secured commitments from the Secretary of Agriculture to provide additional flexibilities to Alaska for SNAP.   But, let’s not kid ourselves. This has been an awful process—a frantic rush to meet an artificial deadline that has tested every limit of this institution. While we have worked to improve the present bill for Alaska, it is not good enough for the rest of our nation—and we all know it.   My sincere hope is that this is not the final product. This bill needs more work across chambers and is not ready for the President’s desk. We need to work together to get this right.

How did you forget this so quickly @RepDavidValadao ?
