Female voices are invaluable. Listen to our true leaders and don’t be fooled by the misinformation coming from the White House. #resist#persist#seekthetruth
When the Trump administration threatened to pull out of the Iran deal and impose more sanctions last year, it was clear that we'd lose our leverage and Iran would be free to do what it wanted.
Predictably, Iran is now exceeding enrichment limits the deal once imposed.
A woman has enough to deal with when it comes to her health care without also having to worry about male politicians telling her what she ought to do with her body. Georgia’s abortion ban is a cruel attack on women’s autonomy and freedom — one that we must continue to resist.
As I told @Columbia students last night:
For all the progress we've made on civil rights and women's rights, there are people working to turn back the clock—and now many of them have lifetime appointments on the federal bench. Get involved in the public sphere. Push for change.
If you think your ‘celibacy’ is due to “female empowerment,” maybe it’s because far too many people relied on the disempowerment + silence of women to not be ‘celibate’ in the first place.
This ban is dangerous and exceptionally cruel—and the bill’s authors want to use it to overturn Roe v. Wade. I've lived in that America and let me tell you: We are not going back—not now, not ever. We will fight this. And we will win. https://t.co/WNlr7Ys73q
“6 weeks pregnant” = 2 weeks late on your period.
Most of the men writing these bills don’t know the first thing about a woman’s body outside of the things they want from it. It’s relatively common for a woman to have a late period + not be pregnant.
So this is a backdoor ban.
Six-week abortion bans are effectively total bans on abortion, as many women don't know they are pregnant at six weeks.
I stand with everyone in Georgia and around the country fighting these illegal measures that threaten women’s lives and freedoms. https://t.co/Oe213jJDHp
If you’re pro-life, but not pro comprehensive sex ed, subsidized birth control, health & childcare, foster & adoption reform, universal pre-K, & family leave, you don’t care about babies, you care about controlling women
If youre in favor of the new GA law, you’re just a monster
My proposal for an Ultra-Millionaire Tax on the largest fortunes in America would pay for plans like student loan debt cancellation, universal free college, universal child care, and ending the opioid epidemic. And we’d still have more than half a trillion dollars left over.
Positive influence on people’s lives is the greatest (and most powerful) strength one could ever have.
Thank you to @TIME & to my one & only boss - the people. Our connection will always remind me that it’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.

Every day, 8 children & teenagers die from #gunviolence. It makes me heartsick. Time for Congress to pass common-sense gun reforms to make Americans safe – not cozy up to the @NRA and do nothing.
“Authorities believe the shootings stemmed from a boyfriend-girlfriend type of dispute.”
His girlfriend threw him out, so he shot her, her father, her brother and his parents. That’s not a dispute, that’s man who got rejected and went on a killing spree. https://t.co/urbGYLnu75
Today I met with federal workers in Boston. They're glad to be back on the job (and getting paid) – but also deeply worried about whether or not the government will go into another shutdown.
Federal workers shouldn't be used as pawns in the GOP's political games.
Two years ago this week, the president signed an executive order banning travelers from Muslim-majority countries. The consequences have been tragic, for families and for our country. Congress should hold the administration to account. https://t.co/nwPwcJ5naj
