Today is a National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
I led the first congressional hearing on this epidemic—and I won’t stop fighting until every Native family gets the justice and safety they deserve.

April 2nd, 2010. I assume you can all thank me for the Walks Will Haunt graphic at Target Field. (Or multiple people had a great idea!)
Is it weird that I hope they'll still use some of the awful old graphics from the Dome on scoreboard? Walks with haunt ghost, etc.

🚨 SCOOP 🚨
DHS is asking IRS to locate **7 MILLION** suspected undocumented immigrants using confidential tax records.
It’s a massive escalation by DHS to use the tax system for mass deportation.
IRS officials are aghast, say it’s likely illegal.

I’m going to join this. Not because I think Booker is progressive enough for me or is perfect on all accounts, but because his courage and willingness to disrupt business as usual (as so many of us have asked) deserves credit and recognition. Appreciate this and encourage similar behavior!
At 24 hours and 19 minutes, he will shatter Thurmond's record.
I'm giving him $24.19 right now. Because he damn well earned it.

The point of Senator Booker's filibuster is to be INSPIRED by this man to go find YOUR ROLE, not to wait for them to go save us now.
That is not this assignment.

Trans people exist. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Trans people can't be legislated out of existence, and that existence does not threaten you in any way. You have nothing to lose and so much to gain by accepting that, and accepting them.

Trump just signed an EO to begin dismantling the Department of Education, a congressionally-created agency.
1. This is unlawful.
2. This is straight out of Project 2025. The goal is twofold: privatization and ideological curriculum control.
3. This will hurt red states most.
