Lindsey Graham is willing to take food off our kids’ plates, gut our nation’s Medicaid program, & watch prices spiral out of control just so he can deliver tax cuts to billionaires.

Thanks for having me @Velshi. Graham has been in DC for 30 years. It’s time to send him packing.

Be as kind to yourself as you are to the people you love.
Rest when you’re tired.
Forgive your missteps.
Celebrate your small wins.
You’re doing better than you think

You are 🧡

I salute the 600 Naval Academy grads who released a letter condemning Trump's book bans at the Academy.
 
At this week's Board meeting, I moved to reverse the ban & made clear I won’t give up the fight. Are we really afraid to have midshipmen read Maya Angelou’s “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”?

Pope Francis walked humbly, loved mercifully, and pursued justice with God – not just in word, but in deed.

He sought to heal a world too often fractured by hate.

I join people around the globe in mourning his loss, and honoring his memory.
