Ripping people off the streets while wearing masks, refusing to identify themselves, and using unmarked vans are not the actions of a legitimate law enforcement agency. These actions sow terror in our communities and I’ll be demanding answers from ICE.

Stripping away specialized crisis services for LGBTQ+ youth, like the 988 crisis lifeline, is an act of utter cruelty. This was a lifeline for nearly 1.3 million young people, many of whom had nowhere else to turn.
We should be expanding these resources, not dismantling them.

The SAVE Act is not about protecting elections—it's about stopping voters, in particular women, from making their voices heard.
This bill would prevent millions who changed their last names from registering to vote. I'm fighting against this blatant attack on the right to vote.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.
