When I came to Congress, @repbonnie.bsky.social was the only other woman in the New Jersey delegation. It was a joy to have her as a mentor and watch her work relentlessly on behalf of her district, but an even greater honor getting to know her on a personal level.

Hi again. My last note was not clear. Let me try again. Sorry. 30 people spoke in favor of protected bike lanes and narrower lanes which have been proven to slow speeds--and the council did not budge an inch. They see bikes as a nuisance.

Grateful for your support. One can feel fairly isolated at these meetings. We had about 30 people there telling them not to do this. And another 80 write in. But the 59,000 others in this town, most of whom want to ride their bike sometimes, were not present.

Much appreciate your support on the Encinitas bike lane carnage.

If you happen to know any voters in this fine city, please let them know. Council men Jim O'Hara, Bruce Ehlers, Marco San Antonio and Luke Shaeffer think streets are only for cars.

Today, same-sex marriage remains the law of the land.

I'm grateful to see this result for our LGBTQ+ community. And while we continue to see attacks from lawmakers against LGBTQ+ individuals, the Shapiro-Davis Administration will continue to defend your right to love in this Commonwealth.

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

We all want this shutdown to end. Families are stretched thin, workers are missing paychecks, and the uncertainty is real for millions of Americans. But I will be voting no on the deal the Senate is sending over to the House.

Need solace. My Encinitas City Council just voted to rip out protected bike lanes on one of our main arterials, in front of a High School.

Reasoning? "These were put in to discourage vehicular travel and boost the climate lobby."

What does one say to that?

I am proud that my legal team and I are leading the fight in this case against the Republican Party’s effort to throw out lawful ballots. Everyone needs to recognize this as the next step in the GOP plan to ban mail-in voting entirely and to eventually target early voting as well.
🚨BREAKING: In a case with major implications for voting access, the U.S. Supreme Court will soon decide whether a mail-in ballot must be received by Election Day to count, or if it merely must be sent by then. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“Clean energy sources help both hold down costs for Americans and prevent the U.S. from having to import so much foreign oil from countries hostile to our interests.”

I’m supportive of cheap energy. Clean energy IS cheap energy and improving our energy sources will keep us competitive with China.

Over 170 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE.

At least 19 people have died in ICE custody.

At least 1300 are missing or unaccounted for.

If what ICE was doing was legal or moral, then they wouldn’t wear masks.
