@IRLchancocat If you're where you want to stay, then you stay here in America. Most of us are decent people and don't want to push people out because of skin color or heritage.

Who we are and who we love is something to be proud of. To be hopeful about. But the fight for true equality is not yet won. Today and every day, I’m grateful for my LGBTQ+ colleagues who live their truths on the front lines of that work. -NP

I’ve introduced an amendment to block Trump from accepting his $400 million Bribe Force One from Qatar, a jumbo global scandal. It’s unconstitutional to take a foreign present “of any kind whatever” from a foreign state, but House Republicans won’t even give me a vote. They don’t give a flying Emolument.

When Trump and Musk tout how much money they're saving by gutting cancer research and Social Security services, know this: Their IRS cuts will cost $500 billion in tax revenue just this year. That's more than half the Defense budget. None of their destruction is actually about saving money. usatoday.com/story/money/20…

In a critical moment when our country needed her, @KamalaHarris rose to the challenge. America, let’s elect someone who has the experience, the character, and the strength to look at all the challenges our country is facing and create a better future for us all. We’ve only got 9 more days to make it happen. Let’s go: go.KamalaHarris.com

I #wearorange for each and every family shattered by gun violence in our communities. We don’t have to live like this – and we sure as hell don’t have to die like this. Bolder action. Now.

Over 90% of all deepfake videos made are non-consensual sexually explicit images. Women are targeted 9 times out of 10. The DEFIANCE Act would be the first federal protection for survivors of deepfake pornography — allowing them to seek the justice they deserve.
