@jwalshie It needs to be simpler/more straightforward all around.

[Tracy McMillan @temcmillan]

@jwalshie Who is the target audience for this question, professionals in the field or general public? If the latter, rewrite to plain speak.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Thank you @JennaBushHager for making this point today - if we really want to keep our children safe, we need to spend less time banning books and more time stopping the horrific gun violence in our schools.

[Tracy McMillan @temcmillan]

@MayorGallego @Amtrak Yes, please!

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

Truly being pro-life means supporting what it takes to have a child in the first place—from pregnancy, to birth and beyond:

—Maternal healthcare
—Affordable child care
—Paid family leave
—Universal pre-K
—Expanded Child Tax Credits

Otherwise, you’re just pro-forced birth.

[Tracy McMillan @temcmillan]

@jameswboyle Agreed. I love small county fairs.

[Peter Flax @Pflax1]

This makes my blood boil. Thanks to rising interest rates and supply-chain shortages, the average person spends $1000/month to own a car. This obsession with portraying an e-bike that is a legit car replacement as a classist toy is bad-faith bullshit.

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

Extremist legislators in South Carolina have proposed the death penalty for women who get abortions and Florida is proposing a six-week ban. These attacks on women’s rights are a terrifying reminder that elections matter. From the White House to the State House, we have to vote.

Not a drag queen, not a trans woman, not a librarian, not a non-binary elementary school teacher. A youth pastor. Another youth pastor.

Crazy to think that two decades ago, in 2002, AASHTO forecast that Americans would drive 4.2 trillion miles last year. They overshot the mark by a third - 1 trillion miles.

What bad assumptions about the future are shaping our infrastructure decisions today?

[Tracy McMillan @temcmillan]

@Adrian_Fontes Alternatively, let’s prioritize putting in passenger rail between that stretch and reduce the political roadblocks to do so. That would have a greater economic and climate impact while moving people and goods.

This is a chart NHTSA should have done a decade ago (done by @FreckleEars . Several popular vehicles have worse visibility than an Abrams tank and are nearly as long. They’re also marketed like weapons. The chart assumes a 6’ driver. The average American woman is 5’4”.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

Women deserve more than flowers and candy for Valentine's Day; we deserve the right to reproductive choice—no matter what state we live in.

$179 million is coming to Arizona public transit thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

That’s big for our state.

[Sen. Jason Pizzo @senpizzo]

I’m frequently asked why DeSantis goes outside of Florida on immigration issues - I refer everyone to the rare candor of Florida farmer (and staunch Republican) Alfie Oakes, back in ‘16:

[Nancy Pelosi @TeamPelosi]

12 MILLION NEW JOBS.

Democrats continue to deliver for America's working families and increase opportunity for all workers with the strongest labor market since 1969 — and more than 12 million new jobs since President Biden took office.

And we're not done yet! -NP

@ahernandezfor24 @AnaliseOrtiz_AZ Thank you!

@District7PHX Thank you!
