Vaccines do not cause children to have autism. Vaccines cause children to be able to grow up to be adults, because children can stay alive instead of die from vaccine-preventable diseases like measles. Also: autistic children are delightfully amazing and we love them. ❤️

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

The White House has censored at least two dispatches from press pool reporters this week because they included inconvenient facts that the administration didn't like. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

TODAY’s ACTION ITEM: these 4 Dems voted to effectively take away millions of American’s ability to vote! Call and share: ”How dare you vote to make it impossible for millions of women & others to vote!” Golden(ME) 202-225-6306 Perez(WA) 202 225-2531 Cuellar(TX) 202 225-1640 Case(HI) 202-225-2726

This is a terrible vote from all of them, but I want to emphasize again that Ed Case, who represents a district that can be won by any breathing Democrat, should be ruthlessly primaried.

Primary this motherfucker.

The Handmaid's Tale was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual!!

Marjorie Taylor Greene bought $275K in stocks after tariffs were announced. Interesting timing, huh? Martha Stewart went to prison for far less.

Measles is a serious disease. 1 in 5 children who are infected with measles end up in hospital, often with pneumonia. Children can also suffer complications, such as deafness, blindness, or even brain damage. No parent wants to see their child end up in hospital.

Three House Republicans. Four Senate Republicans. That's it. That's the math.

F*cking pathetic, and a real post 🤦🏻‍♂️

Apparently even members of the Pennsylvania Dutch community came out. #HandsOff2025

This is a sad state of affairs.

The media is complicit

When people ask me when I'm going to stop wearing a mask, my new response is "have you see what's happening to public health in America? Do you think there will be any support if you get Long Covid?"

I’m holding a constituent townhall in New Jersey. Tune in live.

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

let’s see who has the unfortunate task of ringing the opening bell tomorrow … ah perfect

This is what happens when people speak up.

I couldn't articulate why that moment annoyed me last night. THIS IS WHY.

PSA: If you are coughing in a crowded public place, please wear a mask.

⚠️ THIS IS NOT OKAY ⚠️ For patients with heavy bleeding or infections in the second trimester, a D&E could be lifesaving. I cannot imagine what this woman was going through 💔 FB link www.facebook.com/share/18e1Lm... 〰️AdminJenn

🚨If passed, the SAVE Act will prevent millions of Americans nationwide from voting! 📣 Contact your member of Congress and tell them to #RejectTheSAVEAct tomorrow: www.house.gov/repres... We must stand united against the SAVE Act and support democracy and #EqualAccessForAll.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social “Let’s get in good trouble. “My friend, madam president, I yield the floor.” According to Washington Post technology reporter Drew Harwell, before he was through, Booker’s speech had been liked on TikTok 400 million times.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.
