@GabbyGiffords Wishing you a speedy recovery. Recommend the All Creatures Great and Small reboot. PBS Masterpiece.

Talking about those left behind in the last 40 years. WHY DON'T PEOPLE REALIZE THIS HAPPENED DURING THE REPUBLICAN YEARS WHEN WE DELIBERATELY CONCENTRATED WEALTH AT THE TOP with the idea they would invest in new industries... and they didn't???

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

"I had a member of the Republican caucus threaten my life and the Republican caucus rewarded him with one of the most prestigious committee assignments in this Congress."

Watch Rep. AOC respond to Republicans' removal of Rep. @Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee ⬇️

Marjory Taylor Greene misspoke. That elementary school didn't receive 5.1 billion for diversity education. They raised it with a bake sale. The cookies were really big. Bless her heart.

Minnesotans are making history while Wisconsinites are languishing in 1849

[Rep. Mark Pocan @RepMarkPocan]

No LGBTQ person should ever be subject to conversion therapy.

I'm appalled Wisconsin Republicans blocked our state's ban of this discredited practice. It's hurtful, harmful, and just plain wrong. https://t.co/yOZaRBtA41

How can you deny the outcome of a free and fair election, and then be in charge of the democratically elected House of Representatives? Can you believe this many election deniers are in leadership?! We have to keep our eyes on these deniers. 👀

Informative, thought-provoking, motivating.

Wisconsin: at https://t.co/qTDiAs4jFA request absentee ballots for Feb 21 Spring Primary and April 4 Spring Election. We vote for state Supreme Court (gerrymandering, reproductive rights, etc), school board, & other important offices.

@futur_hindsight @DeeTwoCents @WajahatAli Thanks for yet another informative, thought-provoking, motivating episode.

WI elections commissioner Bob Spindell touted GOP efforts to discourage voting: “We can be esp proud of the City of Milwaukee…casting 37K less votes than cast in the ’18 election w/ the major reduction happening in the overwhelming Black & Hispanic areas” https://t.co/CcPPJacSr9

Harrowing thread.

[Rep. Frederica Wilson @RepWilson]

Today, I relived one of the most painful times in my life on the House floor. I shared my experience of being forced to carry my dead baby. Prohibited by law to induce labor, I carried my deceased child inside me for two months and almost died. We can't go back.

[Laura G @LauraGVoter]

@milaatmos @futur_hindsight @signalawards Congratulations!

[Laura G @LauraGVoter]

@jbf1755 @ProfCAnderson @HC_Richardson Congratulations! Well deserved.

Fun Fact:
Until a speaker is chosen,
The Honorable Cheryl Johnson,
Clerk of the House of Reps, Democrat, Howard University Law School grad, is in charge of The House!

@GOP…take your time…we’ll wait.

[Senator Ruben Gallego @SenRubenGallego]

This is the second day that Republicans have been unable to get their act together and elect a Speaker.

On Jan. 4, 2021, House Democrats had already introduced 102 bills and resolutions.

It’s pretty obvious which party is serious about improving the lives of Americans…

[Laura G @LauraGVoter]

@VP Thank you. And time for @POTUS to complete the Equal Rights Amendment process. @WHCOS

“We need everybody across the women’s sports ecosystem to have an honest conversation about pay equity and investment in our sports. Let’s take a look at the women at the stadium and prepare to march alongside them.”
