First, Senate Democrats refused to stand up for our service members by not moving the bipartisan NDAA. Now, they’re turning their backs on farmers, ranchers, and rural America. We worked with them to secure bipartisan support for E15 and offered a compromise on SNAP cost share concerns. “What did the Democrats do? They voted against every policy they claim to care about: funding food banks, improving rural and mental health services, increasing access to safe drinking water, and expanded broadband connectivity. “This is a massive disservice to producers and communities across the country. I certainly hope they wake up and realize the pain this will inflict on American families.” ### | 1 | 2026-08-08T05:41:38Z | 2026-08-08T05:43:24Z |
