Three years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, ripping away access to abortion for millions of Americans. Restoring the protections of Roe is the floor, not the ceiling. I’ll never stop fighting to codify protections for abortion, birth control, and IVF for all of us.

@typewriteralley.bsky.social is correct. Cities and counties all across the state are facing increasing costs just to preserve our existing roads, bridges, and pipes. We need the state (and federal) government’s help to protect our vital infrastructure assets.

The administration's criminalization of Dem politicians for being Dem politicians is designed to produce exactly this outcome. Their celebration & pardon of white vigilantes is designed to produce exactly this outcome.

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

The GOP’s big bill—under consideration this week—would be an accelerator of inequality: It would reduce after-tax income for the poorest 20% of households by 10%, increase incomes for the wealthiest, and impose senseless work requirements for Medicaid, all while increasing the debt by $3 trillion.
