Please: Keep an eye on new moms. What I had is one of the top reasons US women die of pregnancy complications. The US maternal mortality rate is 2x most other developed countries. I knew to watch for depression. I wasn’t ready for this.

The Supreme Court has stripped women of their liberty and let red states replace it with mandated birth. This is an attack on American freedom. CA, OR and WA are creating the West Coast offensive. A road map for other states to stand up for women. Time to fight like hell.

Thousands of voices at a protest in D.C. came together to sing the Bill Withers classic "Lean on Me," led by local musician Kenny Sway. "It sounded like unity and togetherness," he says. "It sounded like love and pureness of the people."

Thank you @RalphNortham @andrewcuomo @TomWolfPA & @JohnCarneyDE for not sending your National Guard to DC We’re examining every legal question on the President’s authority to send troops, even National Guard from other states, to DC. We’ve not requested them nor do we need them

Governor @PhilMurphyNJ — on behalf of the 706,000 residents of Washington, DC, I ask you to withdraw the @NJNationalGuard from our city immediately. While I appreciate their service, I never asked for them to come to our city. Their presence is unnecessary.
