BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked a Tennessee law banning gender-affirming care for trans youth.

Every federal court so far has blocked or rejected these bans as discriminatory and dangerous.

Today marks the 54th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion. 54 years ago, members of the LGBTQ+ protested for our right to be seen, heard, and protected. It was a moment in time that forever transformed the gay liberation movement.

For more information on how to preserve and honor the legacy of Stonewall, check out the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center, @stonewallvisctr.

Today marks the 5-year anniversary of the Capital Gazette shooting. Today, as we remember the lives lost of Gerald, Wendi, John, Rebecca and Rob, we must keep up our fight to protect journalists to prevent such heinous attacks.

Unlike Kyrsten Sinema, our Arizona groups aren't getting huge checks from hedge funds and Big Pharma companies. The work they’re doing to win this key 2024 battleground is being fueled by grassroots donations from supporters like you. https://t.co/zFkR7AnI8n

Your weekly reminder that since the insurrection, corporate interests have given $69.5 million benefitting the 147 members who voted not to certify the election results.

This week we're spotlighting @MetLife, which has given $7,000 to benefit the Sedition Caucus.

House MAGA Rs should never have threatened to default on our debts & destroy our economy to impose their agenda on America. I commend @POTUS for foiling their extremist demands. But it is time to change the law to defuse the default bomb once & for all. 

My full statement:

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

The right said @POTUS had mismanaged the end of Title 42. They predicted a massive, catastrophic increase in border crossings.

For the most part, the media parroted this fear.

So what really happened?

Average crossings per day didn’t go up. They went DOWN. By 25% from 2022.

With COVID transmission data removed from the CDC website after the end of the public health emergency, wastewater is now our best indicator for surges.

And wastewater data shows that all of NYC has high COVID levels.

A Must-Read. There's much wrong here. "None of the 3 BaltCo Police officers accused of use-of-force violations in trial boards held this year has been found guilty, according to a department spokesperson." @BCPoliceReform https://t.co/mnneCT3zOZ

I’m the Democrat, mother of two, and religious refugee running to defeat George Santos.

Santos has over 66k followers, while I have 30k. It's time to defeat him and flip this district blue.

Help me spread my message by retweeting, following, and getting me to 35k.

Today marks the 5th year in a row I’ve stood before the Michigan Senate with a resolution to recognize Gun Violence Awareness Month and #WearOrange Day.

But today, in the first Democratic Majority in 40 years, was the first year that this resolution was adopted.

[Shelly Hettleman @shellyhettleman]

Thrilled to join so many community members today in @BaltCoGov in honor of victims and survivors of gun violence. #WearOrange #momsdemand #everytown #gunsafety

[Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @SenatorWarnock]

Today, we #WearOrange to honor the brave survivors of gun violence.

To gun violence survivors everywhere: I will continue to uplift your voices & stories in Washington. And I won’t stop fighting until we address this tragic gun violence epidemic.

[Mitch Katz, MD @DrKatzNYCHH]

I am inspired to see our #HealthCareHeroes from @NYCHealthSystem wearing orange today to bring much-needed attention to gun violence, which is a public health crisis. We want to be part of the solution.

[Shelly Hettleman @shellyhettleman]

Children dying by gun violence is a uniquely American tragedy.

I #WearOrange on National Gun Violence Awareness Day because no child should live in fear of gun violence—in their schools, neighborhoods, or anywhere.

[Angela Ferrell-Zabala (she/her) @FerrellZabala]

Today, these @MomsDemand supporters are wearing orange in reverence to the strength of gun violence survivors, and to stand shoulder to shoulder with fierce community leaders as we demand a safer future.
JOIN US by wearing orange & sharing your pic with the #WearOrange hashtag!

Today is National Gun Violence Awareness Day. Remember the families devastated by a crisis that claims innocent lives every day. The time to act is NOW. #WearOrange @Everytown https://t.co/i1wtBIB9cs

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

Hadiya Pendleton would turn 26 today.

Her life was cut short when she was shot at 15 years old, weeks after performing in President Obama's inauguration.

Today, we #WearOrange in honor of Hadiya and every victim of gun violence as we dare to imagine a future free of violence.

[Swing Left @swingleft]

Want to protect kids? Stop taking away their health care. Stop taking away their books. Stop telling them who they can or can't be. The problem is guns. #WearOrange
