[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

End the filibuster. Codify #RoeVWade with a national law protecting abortion rights. Expand the Supreme Court. Stop this horrifying injustice in its tracks.

[Sen. Tammy Baldwin @SenatorBaldwin]

If #SCOTUS is going to legislate from the bench and turn back the clock 50 years on #RoeVWade, then the Senate needs to pass my Women’s Health Protection Act, and if we need to eliminate the filibuster to get it done, we should do that too. #WHPA

[Secretary Deb Haaland @SecDebHaaland]

There is no American history without Black history. This month, as we celebrate the Black experience and culture, let us also use it to fight for equity and justice and to honor the contributions and sacrifices made by Black Americans to make this country what it is today.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

Today marks nine years since President Obama's Department of Defense rescinded the ridiculous exclusion of women in combat.

Because, *of course* America’s daughters can defend her in combat as well as her sons.

Am I right, ladies?💪

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

Why are Democrats the only ones working to protect every American’s right to vote?

Is it because Republicans think they'll lose if your voice is heard?

Is it because they have no plans to help working Americans?

And their only real plan is to stay in power, no matter the cost?

[Sen. Tammy Baldwin @SenatorBaldwin]

If the filibuster can be eliminated by McConnell and Trump to put Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett on the #SCOTUS, it should be eliminated to pass my Women's Health Protection Act in the Senate to protect reproductive health care freedom for millions of Americans. #BansOffOurBodies

In certain areas of Portland business owners pay for “enhanced” services beyond what is provided by the city. This includes funding four Portland police officers that provide additional policing in these areas. Businesses shouldn't be able to buy police. https://t.co/5WWiSnnSVu

Time to get real America. It’s past time to stop the failed War on Drugs. What’s happening to Sha’Carri Richardson is just one more example of its collateral damage large and small.

The government needs to catch up with America and real life. #Olympics

[Ted Wheeler @tedwheeler]

This afternoon, I signed an emergency declaration banning the sale of fireworks for two weeks in Portland, effective immediately. This wasn't an easy choice, but it's a necessary measure to reduce the threat of wildfires to the city and all who live here. https://t.co/5uAxSE4NtO

[PDX Traffic Alerts @TrafficPortland]

Why are we all whining about fireworks this year? THIS is why.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

8 years ago today, President Obama's DoD rescinded the ridiculous exclusion of women in combat.

Because, *of course* America’s daughters can defend her in combat as well as her sons.

This country we love is better served & our military is stronger because of its diversity.

[Matthew Thompson 🏳️‍🌈 @Matthew_1of2]

Just got my $600 relief payment on an EIP card (bc #IRS doesn't have direct deposit I've used for ~20yrs) that basically has fees for everything you can do after 1st use. R's &Cons, thanks for figureing how to suck more $$$ from us to send to 1%.

[Robin Eckstein @RobinEckstein]

@Matthew_1of2 Truth!

[Robin Eckstein @RobinEckstein]

@FiscalService But #fees are a penalty for the poor. This is a scam!!!

[Robin Eckstein @RobinEckstein]

@NBCPalmSprings Government supporting corporations and banks. Why are there fees? Just send a check...

[NBC Palm Springs @NBCPalmSprings]

With the EIP card, services like ATM withdrawals and balance inquiries can range from $0.25 to $5.

Many of the fees are waved on the first occurrence, but will apply with additional transactions. https://t.co/3XPNbg1ohf
