Thank you @underwood.house.gov for helping lead the charge and getting the U.S. Coast Guard to rescind this decision.
Today it was revealed that the Coast Guard would no longer classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols. Unacceptable. I just met with Admiral Lunday, and got his committment to publish a new policy. Hate has no place in our armed services.

A part of this bill that hasn't gotten enough attention is that it includes over $162 BILLION in surplus funds for DHS, ICE, and Trump's lawless, anti-immigrant agenda.
It's so outrageous that even the Republican(!) chair of the Homeland Security Committee opposes these extra funds. Insane.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
What's happened since?
A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.
