The parties are not the same.
Consent to sex is not consent to pregnancy.
I know you want it to be that way because you want us to exist solely to make babies and stay home and raise them for you, but that’s not how it works.
Beauty products of all kinds—from shampoo to makeup—can be full of chemicals that have been shown to be dangerous.
I'm glad to co-lead the Toxic-Free Beauty Act with @JanSchakowsky to get known carcinogens out of beauty products.

Seriously. This is a free seat for anyone who wants it. If you live int he district and want to be a representative, it's yours. It's D+80 and she had no primary challenger.
If more guns and fewer gun laws made Texas safer, it would be the safest state in the US. Instead, it has rising rates of gun suicide and homicide, and is home to four of the nation’s 10 deadliest mass shootings.
@tommyxtopher @BehindAggieLine @0liviajulianna Shame is a terrible motivator, as we now know from decades of research. If it worked, we wouldn’t have decades of headlines about apathy among young voters.
I just got off the phone with a woman whose 19 year old daughter, after 3 COVID infections, was diagnosed with early dementia.
Wrap your head around that.
More than 40% of our population in Texas is Hispanic. Want to take a guess at what percentage of professors at UT and A&M are Hispanic?
10% at UT
5% at A&M
At the risk of connecting really obvious dots, want to guess why colleges have tried to use DEI to find more diversity?
BREAKING: State officials will seize control of Houston ISD, the biggest school district in Texas.
This hostile takeover threatens to close schools, drive out teachers, and take away the power of local communities to elect their own leaders.
Not a drag queen, not a trans woman, not a librarian, not a non-binary elementary school teacher. A youth pastor. Another youth pastor.

I would like to point out how I made a thread saying that POC in Texas are underinvested in as voters and citizens and we should spend more time correcting that than trying to convert republicans, and the majority of people disagreeing with me are WHITE MEN.
Read the room…
It took @GovAbbott just 4 days to take action against “street takeovers.”
Yet it’s been 9 months since Uvalde.
3.5 yrs since Midland-Odessa & El Paso.
5+ yrs since Santa Fe & Sutherland Springs.
But STILL no action on gun violence.
See something wrong with this picture?
The results of the world’s largest trial of a 4-day week (with no loss of pay) are out:
▪️ No drop in revenue
▪️ 65% fewer sick days
▪️ 71% less burnout
▪️ 92% of companies decide to keep the policy after the trial
The conclusion is clear: we need a shorter working week.
We approved a lawsuit against the state Comptroller. Texas leaders are now 1. pushing for a do-over of the 2022 elections in Harris County and 2. seeking to freeze our revenue. They are quite literally disenfranchising a county larger than 25 states.

Tonight, I fulfilled my constitutional duty to report on the state of the nation.
And here is my report.
Because of the Soul of this nation –
Because of the backbone of this nation –
Because of the people of this nation –
The State of the Union is strong.
Our Administration created 800,000 manufacturing jobs – the fastest growth in 40 years.
Where is it written that America can’t lead the world in manufacturing again?
"Democrats want to rule us with more government control," says Sarah Huckabee Sanders, representing the party currently banning books and reproductive healthcare.
