Statement Of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee On Push To Get Texas Children Fed Through USDA Summer Feeding Program.

It is a shame Texas chose not to work with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to resolve Texas procedural deficiencies in order to feed more…
than a million Texas children during the summer as a part of the USDA’s new children’s free feeding program. This would have helped so many children that are food insecure or just plain hungry during the summer.
I sent a letter to the state asking for them to opt-in and worked directly with USDA Secretary Vilsack to try to achieve this crucial goal of Texas having the children’s summer feeding program.

Even now with this potential denial, I still hope it is not too late.

As the founder and chair of the U.S. House’s Congressional Pakistan caucus, I am extremely concerned about the reports that are coming out of Pakistan of human rights abuses and the lack of protection for those who express peaceful opposition to the government.
I am particularly concerned that the former head of state has been arrested multiple times and there appears to be no provisions for a just response to this apparent unfairness and to those who should have rights to a free, safe and unfettered protest.
I will be writing to President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken to ask them to insist on the ending of these human rights violations against the opposition and others.

The George Floyd Justice and Policing Act is a bill that will protect all Americans and serve the needs of All Communities.  The bill is in George Floyd’s name to ensure that all communities live in peace.
They have a focus on shining a light on laws that are not adhered to, but that are intended to protect communities.
I communicated with the George Floyd Family today and they are strong and continuously committed to uplifting George Floyd’s name regarding good community police relationships and a real system that protects African Americans and all communities.

My heart goes out to the Uvalde families one year of pain after hearing of the brutal killings of their children and loved ones. They have yet to get justice and in all the times I visited them, they simply wanted justice. Image
They have lived this past year fighting for the recognition and dignity of their children and loved ones.
Many have not listened. Don’t give up the fight, we continue to mourn with you, and I for one will continue to demand justice for you and for the stoppage of the use of assault style weapons in the hands of children.

As we move toward Memorial Day, I’m standing up for our nation by enthusiastically signing and supporting a discharge petition that would immediately bring a vote to the floor to stop the default in order to pay America’s bills.
I cannot stand by with the potential of thirty million veterans not getting their medical appointments across the nation.
For the men and women of the United States Military, we cannot default — we owe them and their families the respect of covering their needs without interruption.

Lauren, you would think now that you’re in the majority, you would actually consider reading the bills you tweet about. Or, maybe even hire someone who could help you. This tweet is inflammatory and fact-less and you know it.
For starters, it took me about 32 seconds of reading the article you cited to understand that none of you know what you are talking about. H.R. 61 simply deals with adding white supremacy to a list of reasons to be convicted of a hate crime.
So when the article states that “only white people can be charged with” this crime, that’s flagrantly false.
