Deb Haaland is running for Governor of New Mexico! Exciting. She was a fantastic Secretary of the Interior. I also love that her website notes that she's a "35th generation New Mexican"

The House of Representatives is considering a bill that will lead to voter purges and widespread disenfranchisement of eligible voters. The SAVE Act stems from baseless claims of voter fraud and is part of a strategic, well-financed effort to suppress voting.

I think we underestimate how much of Republicans' signaling and decision-making is based not only on political expedience, but literal fear that angering Trump and his followers will endanger their — and their families'— safety. A quick 🧵

I want to see a supercut of Republicans talking about trans and gender issues. They talked about that stuff a whole lot more than Dems did - all while claiming Dems were obsessed with it. In the end, this election came down to information environments and the unchecked proliferation of lies.

The GOP is using bathrooms to target the first trans congresswoman. A long, ugly history of bathrooms-as-discrimination predates the attack on freshman member of Congress Sarah McBride. Read the story: goodauthority.org/news/republi...

AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride. "They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.
