The people handling her account are doing an excellent job, it reads
just like Barack Obama's Presidential Twitter it's like reading through
whitehouse.gov during the Obama Years, scrolling through it has a weird
2009-2014ish feel

The arts, public television, libraries, and museums all enrich the soul,
educate the mind, and can open up a world of possibilities to young
children. But Trump’s budget threatens to slash $897 million in funding
for these programs — including completely defunding PBS and NPR.

After a historic effort in Florida to restore voting rights to about 1.4

Devastating news out of the Midwest with rivers overflowing, roads swept
away, and homes underwater. We can’t help folks affected by these
historic floods without acknowledging our failure to stabilize crumbling
infrastructure across this country.

It's common sense to put carbon monoxide detectors in HUD housing,
protecting the lives of millions of residents. Thank you,

Our nation's leaders should have acted to end gun violence after Sandy
Hook. After Charleston. After San Bernardino. After Pulse. After
Sutherland Springs. After Las Vegas. After the Tree of Life Synagogue.
After Parkland. After Thousand Oaks. How many more?

World-renowned ballerina Maria Tallchief was repeatedly told she should
change her name so dance companies wouldn’t discriminate against her
because of her Native American ancestry. She refused, and would go on to
become America's first major prima ballerina. #WomensHistoryMonth

Of the 40 million family caregivers in the U.S., one in four are
millennials. Guaranteed paid family leave would support families,
protect workers, assist those taking on the role as caregiver, and give
financial security for future generations.

My heart is heavy with grief for New Zealand & Muslims worldwide
affected by the tragic murders in Christchurch. The massacre of those in
a house of worship, in prayer, is evil & cowardly. We stand with
our friends around the world to condemn hate & speak out against
intolerance.

Vile acts of anti-Semitism and hatred have no place in our nation. We must call out and condemn them.

Congress could pass one of the most massive anti-corruption bills in
modern history and put the power back into the hands of the people. H.R.
1 is our chance to remove distrust and injustice from our elections by
getting big money out of politics and strengthening voting rights.

Attacking a leader who has fought on behalf of workers his whole life,
instead of holding a company accountable for closing factories is
blatantly misguided and anti-worker.

We need to act quickly and confront our contribution to climate change

In 1973, tennis player Billie Jean King beat Bobby Riggs in the highly

Puerto Rico resident Valeria Delgado Rivera may be forced to eat only

It’s devastating how our government failed our citizens.

Born in Florida, educator and anthropologist Johnnetta Cole was the

Today in 1965, Lyndon B. Johnson called for legislation guaranteeing
equal voting rights for every American. More than 50 years later, that
struggle continues. As President, I’d support making Election Day a
national holiday, expanding early voting, and automatic registration.

Later today I will vote to block Trump’s manufactured emergency
declaration. We don’t need a wall, we need a president who will address
actual emergencies plaguing our people — climate change, gun violence,
and the opioid crisis just to name a few.

An unexpected trip to the hospital shouldn’t land you in bankruptcy
court. Yet more than 40% of adults say they don’t have enough cash to
cover a $400 emergency expense. Middle-class Americans deserve a break.
The LIFT Act would raise incomes for working families up to $500/mo.

A federal paid leave program would ensure Americans have the opportunity
to be caregivers and providers for their loved ones without worrying
about income security and how to make ends meet. Congress must commit to
passing the FAMILY Act.

A woman is five times more likely to be killed during a domestic
violence situation if a gun is present. When we fight for universal

Congress has an opportunity to pass H.R. 1, legislation to preserve our

Our country is on the line. This is a matter of fighting #ForThePeople

The Trump Administration ended a policy that prohibited detaining
pregnant women in immigrant detention centers last March. That’s not
just immoral, it’s dangerous. My colleagues and I introduced a bill to
end this cruel practice.

Never forget that at the core of any civil rights movement, you will

The Trump Administration's attempt to undo equal pay requirements was

be held accountable.

We can’t ignore the risks of outdated voting infrastructure. Congress
must pass our bipartisan bill to fortify and upgrade our election
systems so we can protect our elections from future attacks by Russia
and other foreign powers. There’s not a moment to waste.

Detaining infants is beyond cruel. This Administration's approach isn't
border security; it's a human rights abuse. We are better than this.

Religion should not be used as a license to discriminate. The Do No Harm

Big insurance companies and Big Pharma are already hiring lobbyists to
try to stop us from passing Medicare for All. But I’ve got news for
them: we won’t back down. Health care is a right, not a privilege, and

What’s happening in Venezuela is a crisis. The people who have fled

The fight for a $15 minimum wage is a fight for fairness, freedom,

A living wage is an antidepressant. It is a sleep aid. A diet. A
stress reliever. It is a contraceptive, preventing teenage pregnancy.
It prevents premature death. It shields children from neglect.
