Women don’t wait for change, we make it. We’ve broken barriers, made history, and fought for justice every step of the way. Today, we honor the women who came before us and keep pushing for those who will come after. The fight isn’t over. Let’s get to work.

This Repub CR, that they claim will keep the government open, is a perfect example of why you must read bills.

Inside the text, you’ll find cuts everywhere, and so much money taken from vets you wouldn’t believe it. These guys are frauds.

Nice try! Hard NO! Throw it in the 🗑️

Last week in Haddon Township NJ, I.C.E. raided and arrested the owners of a beloved local restaurant.

They, along with their 4 children, are legal immigrants who have been a huge part of the community, giving back to those in need.
The father has been released but the mother is still detained.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The Senate just received another report that Pete Hegseth is too drunk and abusive to be our Defense Secretary.

This is not a one off. Report after report of alcohol, assault, harassment. This is a pattern of abuse.

We need answers, not a rushed vote.
