Cecile Richards was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer in 2023. The longtime former President of Planned Parenthood, she has dedicated her life to protecting women’s freedoms.
Today, President Biden awarded her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. 💙
Have you gotten a surprisingly expensive vet bill lately?
That’s because Wall Street and corporations like Mars (yes, the candy company) know you’ll do anything for your pet, so they buy up clinics and squeeze you for every last cent.
Bailey and I are fighting back.
Women know that men don’t scheme to “dress like girls” to assault them.
They do it every day in broad daylight. And the ones in power protect each other to keep it quiet.
Just ask the House Ethics Committee. Or the President-elect of the United States.
Leave women alone.
"You could live and work in Dallas, go to a meeting in Austin, have dinner in San Antonio, and be home in time to put your kids to bed. All of that without having to sit in heavy traffic or go through airport security," State Rep. John Bucy III said.

FEMA's on the brink of running out of funds—but instead of coming up with solutions to help pass emergency disaster relief for Americans hurt by Helene and Milton, @OversightGOP spent a hearing spreading conspiracy theories and playing politics.
We're sick of it. Fund @fema now.
@JessicaValenti Why the hell is a public commission's records confidential? They were doing PUBLIC work & the PUBLIC has a right to see what they are using to make their decisions.
This week on Assembly Required, I broke down how we can fight back against Trump's expected cuts to programs like SNAP and school lunches—and this toolkit shows you how to get started. Listen and take action: https://t.co/MA4nzerv5p
Did you know free annual checkups, and preventative screenings like mammograms, colonoscopies and pap smears didn't used to be free? This is a part of the Affordable Care Act. Pass it on.
WATCH Rep. Melanie Stansbury issue a fantastic, full-throated repudiation of Trump's mostly unqualified clown car cabinet, and Republicans' attempt at modern day McCarthyism.
No, the gentlelady will NOT yield. 🔥🔥🔥
ProPublica's @eisingerj to his staff: "We face the biggest test of our professional lives. Now we get to see if we really meant it when we said we will hold power to account. Will we do so when our subjects have true power on their side and a willingness to use it? We may be harassed. We may be sued. We may be threatened with violence. We may be ignored. Are we just sunshine journalists or are we ready?" https://t.co/1ZKacavcNK

I attended the Biden event in Los Angeles last night. Fantastic, but it made me think about a few things.
I’ve been around a minute. Lived through several Presidential races. I remember not being excited about the candidates, but I have never in my life fixed my lips to say, I’m not voting because of it. Neither did my grandparents who survived Jim Crow and were not always welcomed at the polls.
I don’t understand folks who are saying that today.
Your top issue isn’t being talked about enough or going the way you think it should? Let’s survive now and live to fight another day. But first, look beyond what you’re seeing covered by the media, because Biden is not getting the same coverage that Trump is getting. And much of that coverage is skewed. It’s likely your issue is being worked on and you have been heard — so look deeper!
We don’t have to invite the candidates over for tea and crumpets, but staying home when we have the Supreme Court that we have, is short-sided and a disservice to those of us who see Trump as the number one danger that he is promising to be.
NO CHOICE — IS A CHOICE FOR TRUMP!!!

@MomsAGAbbott Totally out of line - massive troop movements for a peaceful student protest. I remember when they used similar force to surround the confederate heroes monument on the Capitol grounds back in 2020. Ugh.
