POV: You've tweeted about trans kids more than you've passed bills. Let's make sure her final act is as successful as her legislative record, a flop. Call your Reps and demand they vote NO on H.R. 3492 and H.R. 498, MTG and Crenshaw's transphobic bills. Call (202) 224-3121.
This is exactly the type of people who confront me! Someone who supports chemically castrating children and performing irreversible medical procedures on minors!! We cannot and will not support child abuse!!! A “no” vote or amendment to my bill by republicans is a vote that supports the abuse and castration of minors!

Donald Trump waited until Friday night to issue an Executive Order rolling back lifesaving gun measures because he knows it will be incredibly unpopular. Call your Senators & Representatives and have them tell AG Pam Bondi not to put our kids' lives at risk:📱(202) 224-3121

We've officially departed on our Get Free-dom Ride 🚌 We're on our way from DC to ATL to challenge SB202, the white supremacist faction's anti-voter law in Georgia by handing water to voters waiting at the polls tomorrow, a basic act of humanity that shouldn't be banned.

The Supreme Court has refused to stop partisan gerrymandering. Congress can do it by passing the Freedom to Vote Act. bit.ly/3Bu7C9v

.@JDVance is flat out lying. Most people killed by guns are killed by guns obtained /legally/. He'll look for ANY excuse to scapegoat immigrants huh.

.@GovKemp had the power to pass laws to prevent school shootings. Instead, he loosened gun laws. Blood is on your hands.
Replying to @GovKemp
We will continue to work with local, state, and federal partners as we gather information and further respond to this situation. (2/2)

On the first day of classes, a Rice University student was shot and killed in her dorm room before the gunman killed himself. Andrea Rodriguez Avila’s dreams were cut short because of easy access to guns. The student paper wrote a bit about her life 💔 ricethresher.org/article/202…

NEW: The Eighth Circuit just struck down a Missouri law that tried to penalize police for enforcing federal gun laws. This lifesaving decision proves what we know to be true: that commonsense gun safety laws are constitutional. news.bloomberglaw.com/litiga…

As the #DemConvention gets underway, we teamed up with @ChicagoCred and @GPACIllinois to highlight the work being done on the ground in Illinois to stop gun violence. Community violence intervention strategies are essential to any public safety effort, and these heroic lawmakers, survivors, and peacemakers work day in and out to save lives in Illinois.
