I've never been very active on any social media. I'm thinking I'll start off by posting some pictures of my cat and my dog. That seems appropriate. Now to decide which photos to post... 🤔

With all the flood the zone tactics being used by this administration every day, we can't lose sight of what is actually important, keep our leaders accountable, and highlight the actual harm they would do with these decisions. Maybe renaming the Gulf of MEXICO isn't and important fight to take on.
Today, House Republicans are unveiling their plan to increase energy bills and pollution for everyday Americans, just to give billionaires another tax break. A summary of their proposals. THREAD! 🧵
