I worked at Planned Parenthood.

They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.
 
Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.

I have just finished DiResta’s book. As someone who is chronically offline, this book was super eye opening and provided in-depth context. I would highly recommend it!

Arresting judges cannot be the new normal in America. I’m deeply concerned by the lack of information and partisan tone surrounding this news, and I trust my Republican colleagues will agree. It’s incumbent on all of us to uphold and protect the constitution.

International Women’s Day was celebrated with a march at the capital. Great weather. Excellent speakers. I really appreciated the opportunity to show support and be part of this community.

🚨Trump is eliminating nearly all foreign assistance – over 90% of USAID programs – including lifesaving aid like PEPFAR. No more emergency food aid from US farmers, aid that prevents deadly diseases from reaching the USA, or counterterrorism programs. This must be reversed NOW.
