.@RepMeuser: "I talk to a lot of banks...and they're really not happy with your agency."
@CFPB Director @chopracfpb: "Just to be clear, the clientele of the CFPB is not banks. The clientele is the public."
I know that too many people in the LGBTQI+ community are worried and afraid about their future and their safety.
I want to send a message to the entire community – especially to transgender children.
You are loved.
You are heard.
You are understood.
You belong.
I’m still gobsmacked at how the Republican Party - THE CONSERVATIVES - picked a leader who hates national security, detests our intelligence community, and despises the military SO MUCH that he’d risk sources and secrets while throwing a Navy vet to the wolves.
@Tazerface16 As a extrovert married to a narcissist, I sometimes have to mimic an introvert for self-preservation. Especially since I can’t get a word in sideways.
You can’t go to work, to the MALL, to the grocery store, to your church, to the movies or the bank.
You can’t attend a concert, go to a dance class or go to see your doctor. You can’t ring a doorbell, use a leaf blower, hop in a car, pull down a driveway, bounce a ball, or ask the neighbor to keep it down.
You can’t check out a farmer’s market or mail something at the post office or go to a parade, and you certainly can’t send your kids to school without worrying that someone will get shot.
That someone you LOVE will get shot.
Or that YOU will get shot.
This is where we are now.
This is not normal.
And this is not fucking ok.
It’s NOT fucking ok.
@EdKrassen As a woman—have you been in a woman’s room? Closed stalls. If ANYONE looks over or under my stall I am creeped out. Otherwise—it’s all private
Three members of the Tennessee Democratic Party are facing expulsion from the legislature tonight as the GOP leadership is trying to have these 3 members excluded from the body. Thus stripping away duly elected members from serving . Their crime was asking the Speaker why they were not allowed to speak on the House floor During debate about guns. So now the GOP majority is going to throw them out of the Tennessee House. We must fight this. @newblueknox@NewBlueTenn #DemVoice1 @newbluehamilton @NewBlue5th
You probably remember this picture of the baby who spent 128 hours under rubble after an earthquake in Turkey. It was reported that the baby's mom died.
Turns out, the mom is alive! She was treated in a different hospital. After 54 days apart and a DNA test, they are together again.

BREAKING: Biden was just asked if he is at all worried about the possibility of unrest ahead of former President Trump’s arraignment.
President Biden replied like any American President should have replied, by backing law enforcement and the legal system:
“No. I have faith in the New York Police Department.”
The shooter in Nashville left behind a manifesto. She had a different school in mind but settled on one she was familiar with. She was well armed with two assault rifles and a handgun. This was a premeditated act of violence against America’s children and teachers. I’m a former combat vet. These weapons do not belong in the hands of civilians. For any reason. This is not a 2nd Amendment issue. It’s a human rights issue.
