All of us have seen the tragedy of Gaza. We've seen how Netanyahu's government has used US weapons to kill indiscriminately and create famine. I will not participate in this carnage. When Congress votes on sending more offensive weapons to Israel today, I will vote no. 1/

This has to stop! Journalists and law enforcement are not adversaries. We want law enforcement to do be able to do their jobs without interference. All we’re asking as journalists is to be able to do the same. 🧵1/2

Today, Republicans let the Affordable Connectivity Program expire, raising the cost of internet for thousands of Texas families with school-age kids. Ending this critical program is shameful. I'm committed to lowering the cost of high-speed internet for these families.
