Just to recap, in a few short months, Senate Republicans have blocked legislation to:

❌ Make it easier to access IVF—twice.

❌ Protect access to birth control, plan B and IUDs.

❌ Restore the freedom to seek and provide abortions.

This is who Republicans are. Don't forget.

I look forward to joining @Oprah and grassroots supporters from across the country for a one-of-a-kind livestream event tomorrow.

FUN FACT: Each of us who support Kamala are de facto surrogates for her campaign. So we have to have the talking points at the ready to answer questions or criticism about her or her campaign. So here are a few at the ready:

1) She didn’t pass any great things as VP:

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

One year ago, Illinois became the first state in the nation to end cash bail.

The data shows that failure-to-appear rates, statewide violent and property crime rates, and jail populations have all decreased.

Illinois is leading the way to a fairer system.https://t.co/fpK8Yvf5sG

Last night I lost the best person I have ever known- my father. I’m grieving not only for my family and his friends but for the world which has lost the best human I have ever known. I have never cried so much it physically hurts to continue until now.

Don’t bother w/ “let’s have a discussion.” Put all complaints in writing, and send it to the U.S. Dept of Ed, Office of #CivilRights if u experience harassment. #HigherEd

I warned my alma mater & employer of 30 years about #MacombIL Mayor Mike Inman’s serial #sexualHarassment of myself & many students. #WIU admins tried 2 silence me. Beware: WIU doesn’t care about women. #TitleIX

[Heather McMeekan, MS /Pronouns: She/They @webmiss007]

I grieve for my alma mater. Despite finally hiring a woman (after firing the past 3 male Presidents), their admin is heavy w/cop wives, family members. #Feminism is only in pedagogy; it’s absent in that community except 4 white women telling people not 2 believe victims. #MeToo

@ECGreaves I agree that awareness/voter education is key. Here’s an email from her opponent @MoGreenforNC

[Justin Parmenter @JustinParmenter]

Now for the good news: Morrow’s opponent @MoGreenforNC has a long resume of leadership and support for public schools.

And as a bonus, he’s sane! Not something we can take for granted in 2024. #nced #ncpol https://t.co/6YqRABIczM

Some more gems for anyone just getting acquainted with this nutcase. As a veteran teacher the prospect of Michele Morrow leading our whole k-12 system is terrifying.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The Biden-Harris administration's investments in manufacturing and infrastructure represent a major sea change.

Rather than relying on tax cuts and trickle-down nonsense, Biden and Harris understand that investment in working people is the key to economic growth.

All of this would be undone if Donald Trump returns to office.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Donald Trump and JD Vance are proposing tax cuts (mostly for the rich) that could collectively cost as much as $10.5 trillion over a decade.

That sum would exceed the combined budgets of every domestic federal agency.

So much for being the "party of fiscal responsibility."

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Be warned: The more Trump can tear down democracy, the safer the oligarchy becomes.

This is why the billionaires who once disavowed him are quietly crawling back.

Fascism backed by Big Money is one of the most dangerous political alliances.

[Chris Hahn @ChristopherHahn]

Here’s a refresher timeline of Trump’s COVID incompetence.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

Nearly every Senate Republican voted against my legislation that would have required insurance to cover IVF.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Kroger now admits it jacked up milk and egg prices above inflation.

Millions of shoppers had no choice but to accept it.

This is what happens when five companies dominate over 60% of American grocery sales.

Minimal competition means maximized price gouging.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Governor Walz doesn’t just have the experience to be vice president, he has the values and the integrity to make us proud. And as we saw last night, @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz make a great team. 

Now let’s do everything we can – volunteer, donate, organize – from now until November to help them get elected. https://t.co/spJ8IbtoBX
