I appreciate your efforts but we Democrats want to see more courage and more action. Ask yourself: What would John Lewis do and then do it.
🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care.
I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out.
Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.

How about we all send a message to Elon letting him know what we did last week…let’s see…2 loads of laundry, 10-mile bike ride, yoga, got Wordle in 3, church, that’s 5
How do you spell “I-l-l-e-g-a-l”?
Here’s the email everyone is getting from OPM. Embarrassing stuff.

To honor the late great Rep. John Lewis' on his birthday, get into some "good trouble" today. Start with calling your members of Congress at 202 224 3121. My script: We decided 250 years ago that we didn't want a king, and we didn't elect Elon Musk. Stand up for what's right and defend Democracy.

It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...
5 years after it appeared, things we know and still don't know about COVID
Five years after the virus that causes COVID emerged in China it still holds some mysteries.
