Absolutely overjoyed that the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act had passed as an amendment to the Omnibus. Working for 2 years on this bill to #ProtectPregnantWorkers is something I will always be proud of. Thank you to the advocates, champions, and workers who made this happen. 💛

i hate that books come out in hardback copies first, like PLEASE just give us the paperbacks

if only democrats had had the chance to have someone like @AOC lead the Oversight Committee to be the voice that fights this abuse of power right now…

@zoerosebryant When Harry Met Sally is one of my favorite films of all time, but I had to give the Princess Bride some recognition!

[zoë rose bryant @zoerosebryant]

insane how steven spielberg remade one of the best movies and musicals of all-time into *another* one of the best movies and musicals of all-time and we didn’t give it a million oscars

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

I asked Tammy Duckworth to escort me for my Senate swearing in because she’s an American hero. The embodiment of courage and service and I’m in awe that I get to work in the Senate alongside her. Thank you Tammy!

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Plaskett rises to recognize all the Americans who are not represented in Congress, including the Virgin Islands and DC. Republicans try to boo her down.

AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE I'M LONELY, AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE IT'S NEW YEARS EVE. I CAME HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE WHEN YOU REALIZE YOU WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH SOMEBODY, YOU WANT THE REST OF THE LIFE TO START AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Happy 2nd Birthday to #PWFA! Still endlessly proud of the people who worked tirelessly to get this bill over the finish line!
(And forever sad there is a typo in this post, but to be fair I had been crying watching the vote happen on c-span)

For their part, school administrators are hopeful a strike can be averted. https://t.co/yC9VdAWDGr

Instead of googling "D.C. home rule," read @maustermuhle's useful explainer, breaking down what it is, how it works, and how federal forces can threaten it. https://t.co/VO25lGK324

[Liz Shuler @LizShuler]

Today’s @NLRB decision is a huge win for workers. Captive audience meetings have no place in a fair workplace.

This ruling restores the freedom workers deserve to make their own choices about union representation without fear or intimidation.
