It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.
I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

I think it’s going to be very difficult for the House and Senate to reconcile this budget, but trying to force the House Energy and Commerce committee to cut 880 billion is going to kill people.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban.
Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on
Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.

Inspectors General are key public servants tasked with holding our government accountable. They’re independent, nonpartisan whose work is identifying fraud, waste, & importantly, abuse. Trump just fired them all. Make no mistake: he's purging those who will protect the rule of law.

🚨 Trump fires inspectors general of at least 12 departments in late-night purge, clearing way to install loyalists. The move may violate federal law requiring 30-day notice to Congress. Agencies affected include Defense, State, VA, and more.
