I agree with Donald Trump that an unelected bureaucrat should be fired. Let’s start with Elon Musk.

Trump blames women in charge for everything. Now one woman he attacked viciously and without valid cause has been murdered. These attacks on women and DEI are literally deadly. And it’s not the first time.
Trump riled up his MAGA cult against California fire captain calling her "DEI hire" — now she's been viciously murdered in her own home. Fire Captain Rebecca Marodi was found with multiple stab wounds that police say indicates a desperate fight for survival. She served 30 years

Hard to overstate how important @mcbyrne’s contributions and leadership has been to @UltraViolet and some of our biggest wins and most impactful moments. Thank you.
I helped @UltraViolet with their first ever in person action back in 2012 and began working with @SLThomas at that moment. It’s been an honor to work with her on projects for over 13 years!!! Her leadership is fierce and her dedication to justice is second to none.

The CFPB is dedicated to making sure you’re treated fairly by banks, lenders and other financial institutions and has returned billions to consumers, increased mortgage transparency, and sued bands for fraud. It’s deeply concerning that the richest man in the world is
CFPB RIP 🪦

This is a move you make only if you believe sexual assault and harassment is a good thing, actually. Hegseth may have backed off his position on women in the military for the cameras but the Admin is making things clear here: The military is not safe for women.
The Army has outright removed its sexual assault and harassment prevention rules, (AR 600-52) which govern record keeping for criminal prosecution & victim protection

I’ve worked with Sen. Lindsey Graham on 3 pieces of bipartisan legislation - the 2 that has passed into law are about sexual misconduct. I appreciate that he has serious questions about Hegseth

If Dems want to maintain Black women’s support you better keep VP Harris’ name out of your mouth other than saying to her,”Thank you!” She understood the assignment and ran an excellent campaign. She was outstanding. VP Harris will not bear the burden nor take the blame for

Hi. I’ve moved. https://t.co/AQAPVLkSzl Come over— I’m reporting out on the #Reykjavik24 global women’s forum today. Maybe leaders outside the U.S. have some advice for us….

An interesting outcome of this election is how conscious the “pro-business” sect of the Dem party has become of racism and sexism and its impact on elections. Almost like it’s useful to them right now. 🤔

Still seeing "Harris couldn't turn out millions of Biden voters," and the count in swing states says that's not true. In Wisconsin, Harris got 37k more votes than Biden. The most votes of any Dem candidate since Obama in 2008. She lost bc Trump added 77k more votes since 2020.

The people made their voices heard loud & clear: Colorado stands firm for reproductive rights, health & justice! Not only did Coloradans enshrine the right to abortion in their state constitution, they nixed a discriminatory coverage ban to expand access to abortion 🧵

The @UltraViolet call with 1k+ people following @KamalaHarris concession speech was electric . Her speech resonated. The desire to be in community is deep. The desire to know *the plan* is deep. People are humbled, sad, angry but they’ve seen this episode and ready to take action
