Not sorry, but I'm sick of these sexist and hypocritical defenses of Franken. We need to get it together and face the sexist double standard that's occurring in our party. (THREAD)
Women are on fire in America today. We are rising up, marching, voting, and demanding our rights. So when pundits ask, “Can a woman really win?” I say: YES.
It’s videos like this that remind me that politics can be a force for good - aspirational, not just reactionary. It’s a reminder that I think so many of us need today. #BraveWins
To any straight white man considering jumping into the race to “save” the party from its diverse candidates: we don’t need you and we don’t care if you were a VP or a Vermont senator. We have women candidates, LGBTQ candidates, and candidates of color. We’re good. We promise.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand campaigns in Keene, NH: "We don't pass gun reform in this country because of the NRA. But it's not about the Second Amendment or hunter's rights. Let me be really clear: It's about the gun manufacturers that fund the NRA that want to sell more weapons."
Calls to remember 9/11 aren't just slogans. I’m introducing a bipartisan bill to make the Victim Compensation Fund permanent and whole. As death and cancers spike, we can’t abandon our heroes. I won’t. https://t.co/hc7kYyFjzh
Nobody has more of a stake in this election than the young people who will inherit the country we build now. Thanks to the Dartmouth students and community members who came out on a Saturday to talk about our future!
This man has been homeless for 11 years and ignored by most presidential candidates. @SenGillibrand is once again showing how much she cares and respects EVERYONE in this country!
Pretty special moment while walking around Concord, NH today. “Father and Son” by Cat Stevens was one of my favorite songs in high school! The campaign schedule can be intense, but you just can’t beat a memory like this. So excited to see more of New Hampshire this weekend.
I'm running to repair the moral fabric of our country that Trump has torn apart. And I'm building my campaign by talking and listening to people, because that's how we bring your voices into our government. Last weekend South Carolina; this weekend New Hampshire—let's keep going.
We have to take risks to fight for what’s right. I believe at my core that the campaign we’re building is going to make our country stronger and better off, and that’s a risk worth taking. https://t.co/7LI7njdTts
