Child care providers are receiving death threats, facing armed interrogations, and closing their services out of fear. Why? Because Republicans sent a MAGA influencer to harass child care workers about claims of fraud that are unsubstantiated. Women are not safe in Trump’s

Five years ago, an armed mob stormed the United States Capitol. Inspired by lies and hatred spewed by Donald Trump, they used brutal violence and intimidation in an attempt to overturn a free and fair election. And since returning to office, Trump pardoned the insurrectionists

Child care provider violently detained by ICE in Chicago. No one should be ripped from their place of work. Child care providers are deeply important to the well-being of kids and our communities. Please give if you are able: https://t.co/41tiSzBLcb

Lisa Murkowski, making deals with liars is a losing game. Stand with the people who elected you. We won’t ‘get over it,’ and neither will you. This isn’t inevitable—you have the power. #KillTheBill #BigBSBill #StandUpAlaska

Reminder: The CBO score of Build Back Better, which was highly popular with policies like #PaidLeave #ChildCare & #ElderCare & #Disabiity #care & climate & health innovations was $367b. This GOP bill costs $4.5 TRILLION for wealthy tax breaks & cuts to health & food benefits. 🙀

Born and raised in LA County, David Huerta is a champion for justice and a good neighbor. Today, while advocating for his community during an ICE raid, he was injured and arrested. These raids are dangerous for our families and communities. They are unjust and must end.
Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And 750,000 SEIU workers are standing with him. https://t.co/WYzt2Bv38I

This father went to his citizenship hearing expecting a handshake. Instead, ICE shackled him, threw him into a van, and tore him away from his pregnant wife and four children—without even letting him say goodbye. Kasper Eriksen arrived in Mississippi from Denmark in 2013, fully

I believe working families deserve better. No American child should be held back from their full potential because they can’t afford food or healthcare. Medicaid and SNAP saves lives.

Why all the rushed, late night moves to cut #Medicaid? * The GOP Budget bill with the Medicaid cuts was first introduced just last week, 9pm Sunday. * The only committee debate on the health cuts started at 1am Wednesday. * Tonight's Budget Committee is tonight, Sunday at 10am

This Administration and Congress are “at odds with supermajorities of Americans. They’re overplaying their hand, ignoring the desperate real needs of working families and missing a political opportunity.” My piece in @USATODAY.

Making more babies by threat, faux incentives, or even force is not a goal or a solution. And it ignores the desperate, real needs of families.
