When you take away a woman’s right to make her own decisions about her own body, health, and wellbeing, she is no longer a full citizen.
I will not stop fighting until we restore every American’s reproductive freedom.
In the year since I first posted this, not much has changed. None of the states that banned or restricted abortion have #PaidLeave. They took away your fundamental right to decide if and when you’ll have children and did nothing to protect your job, paycheck, or health insurance while you’re pregnant or caring for a newborn.
But there was some good news. Minnesota enshrined the right to reproductive freedom into law — and they passed #PaidLeave! When we stand up and fight back, we can protect our fundamental human rights and support our families.
The Equal Rights Amendment has cleared every single constitutional hurdle towards becoming the 28th Amendment. It only needs one signature.
@CoriBush and I are pushing for it to become the law of the land now. #ERANow
Democrats, Republicans, and Independents all agree: Public officials shouldn’t profit from their positions.
So @joshhawleymo and I are introducing a bill to ban members of Congress, senior executive branch officials, and their spouses and dependents from holding or trading individual stocks — the most substantial bipartisan effort yet to #BanStockTrading.
Truly alarming. This radical Supreme Court has already shown it is willing to overturn precedent to undermine common-sense gun safety laws.
Guns should NEVER be in the hands of domestic abusers. I urge the Supreme Court not to put the lives of millions of survivors at risk.
The Congressional Women’s Softball game is tomorrow night! Doors open at 5:30 pm. Grab your tickets now and help us raise money to support young women with breast cancer at the link in my bio.
The Supreme Court can no longer be trusted to set or enforce their own ethics rules.
It’s time for Congress to step up and force Supreme Court Justices to follow a strict, enforceable code of ethics — just like all other federal judges.
Red flag laws are a critical tool to keep guns out of the hands of those who are a danger to themselves or their community. But getting an order to take away a dangerous person’s weapons can be a lengthy, burdensome process.
No one should be discouraged from doing the right thing when they see warning signs. So I’m introducing the #FLAGAct🚩, which will provide funding and legal resources to empower communities and help save lives.
The #BadNewsBabes reclaimed the trophy this year, but together we raised $587,483 to support young women with breast cancer! Great game – but we’ll #BeatThePress at next year’s @cwsoftballgame!

Weapons of war should never be in civilian hands.
We must pass an #AssaultWeaponsBan.

Pride is a celebration. Pride is a protest. Pride is a promise to keep fighting until every LGBTQ+ American can live openly, proudly, and without fear. #NYCPride

I had a fantastic time at #PRParade celebrating the vibrant impact and influence of Puerto Rican people and culture right here in New York City and around the world. ¡Qué viva Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷
This is a major victory for voting rights and a major defeat for those who sought to undermine the Voting Rights Act.
Democracy prevailed, but our work continues. We must keep fighting to fully restore the rights guaranteed by the VRA and defend our right to vote.
@wgaeast and @writersguildwest writers know their value. And we won’t stop fighting until they get the fair pay and fair contract they deserve. #WGAStrong #WGAStrike
I’m so grateful that Michael K. Williams’ nephew, Dominic Dupont, could join me this week to call on Congress to pass the FEND Off Fentanyl Act. Far too many families have lost a loved one to an accidental fentanyl overdose. It’s time to take on the drug cartels and traffickers flooding our communities with these deadly drugs.
Henry and Theo couldn’t ask for a better father, and I couldn’t ask for a better husband and partner. Happy Father’s Day, Jonnie!
From my family to yours, wishing you all a very happy Fourth of July!
Trump-appointed Supreme Court justices have yet again overturned decades of precedent in pursuit of their extreme, right-wing agenda.
This callous decision attacks the dignity and civil rights of LGBTQ+ Americans — but it will have dangerous, far-reaching consequences for us all.
