Harvey Milk served his country in the U.S. Navy. He was an early and powerful leader of the modern gay rights movement. Stripping his name from a Navy ship—and doing so deliberately during Pride Month—is a shameful insult to his legacy & to LGBTQ+ Americans who serve.

💉🧵The trend to ban mRNA vaccines is extremely concerning. Montana recently voted down a ban and Idaho is introducing a bill to criminalize their use. mRNA vaccines have been studied since 1990 and are a critical scientific advancement. An mRNA vaccine against pancreatic cancer is in clinical trials

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

She's concerned the agency will be "choked out of existence before I get to rule on the merits."
She wants an evidentiary hearing.
