Very on brand for republicans to blame power outages in a state that they run entirely on the Green New Deal proposed by democrats that hasn’t even been voted on yet let alone taken effect.
The more I talk shit about Trump and his cronies the more the trolls post nudes illegally taken and distributed by my ex. They are really unflattering. But I’m not gonna stop, so I’m sorry y’all have to see that over and over again.
I don’t have college debt because I had family help and I worked and I went to a state school.
I still support cancelling student debt because I’m not an asshole.
Hot take: Even if Bolton had testified during impeachment and said these same things, I don’t think a single Republican senator would have changed their vote.
I didn’t think it was possible to become more pro-choice than I already was, but after 7 months of pregnancy all I can think about is how wrong it would be to make someone do this who doesn’t want to.
Oh my God he just laid into a reporter, a woman, and told her to be nice and to not be threatening.
The way she stuck with it and pushed him to answer was so fucking impressive and I need to know who she is.
So yeah it really hurt to have my old seat flip back to Republican-for a ton of people & also for me. In fact, it was pretty fucking devastating. I went offline & cried for a few days but, as always, getting ready to stand back up & keep fighting. Hope you are too.
Onward.❤️
A year from now, we have a chance to show women and girls that we matter. Hopefully, we’ll elect a woman as President — if not, let’s work to make sure a serial sexual predator no longer occupies the White House.
What are we as a nation going to do?
Ladies, show up.
Yesterday my brother Danny - a young man who overcame so much in his short life with so much promise ahead - passed away. My heart is breaking & I’ll miss him forever. Prayers for our family in this impossibly difficult time would be appreciated. 💔(photo at boot camp graduation)
Republicans JUST blocked 2 election security bills — hours after Mueller said Russia is actively trying to sway the 2020 elections — showing in plain sight that they’re willing to dismantle our democracy & take help from our most dangerous adversary to win
“They’re not gonna be hugging and kissing each other in the office when they go back, even if they may want to.” -

What? You gross fuck
Birth control pills are one of the only treatments for certain health conditions, like endometriosis, which affects 1 in 10 women.
Nothing to do with contraception. Just with health, & preventing unimaginable pain.
Clearly, people still just don’t give a shit about women.
Every time a person walks by without a mask I feel like they are shouting FUCK YOU right in my face. Because they basically are.
Don’t be an asshole. Wear a mask.
I hope
@ewarren
does well tomorrow. Her staying in the race is a benefit to all of us, no matter who ends up with the nomination. But if she steps out before convention, I hope she doesn’t immediately endorse someone. Her coalition is special & needs to be earned, not presumed.
When Republicans are taking credit for a bill they voted against because it’s so popular, you know that it WAS in fact bipartisan and they are just assholes.
Yesterday, we laid my 20 year old little brother to rest. Today, we celebrate his life - thank you to all the friends and family joining us. Tomorrow, we start learning to live and love and laugh again.
I will do my best to live in your honor, bro.
Just realized it was 2 years ago today that naked pictures of me were shared with the world. And what a couple of years it’s been.
But thanks to my family and friends, I’m still here, and I know the best is still ahead. ❤️
Hate to break it to everyone but Ted Cruz will never resign. Nor will Hawley, Boebert, Greene, or any of the other ones.
Never. That’s not what they do.
Reminder: Amazon uses the USPS for as much as half of U.S. deliveries.
So yeah... maybe they could take some of that record profit they just made from the pandemic and save the USPS and our democracy.
It’s common for Tucker Carlson to make racist & sexist comments on his show, but this is a new low.
@IlhanMN
deserves an apology — Tucker deserves to be fired. This kind of hate is inexcusable, and it’s on all of us to call it out and demand better.
An absolutely stunning racist attack on
@IlhanMN
from Tucker. I'm shocked
She is "living proof that the way we practice immigration has become dangerous to this country"
She "is a living fire alarm. A warning to the rest of us that we better change our immigration. Or else"
Wonder why
@senatemajldr
let four gun violence bills sit on his desk for 6 months?
Seems 1.6 million in NRA $$ is more important than the thousands killed/injured from gun violence this year.
GET ON THE PHONE: (202)224-2541. VOTE HIM OUT.

RIP to the more than 30 million innocent babies that have been murdered during the decades that Ruth Bader Ginsburg defended pro-abortion laws. With
@realDonaldTrump
nominating a replacement that values human life, generations of unborn children have a chance to live.
I can’t believe this has to be said but GOP lawmakers who have done nothing but make the pandemic worse shouldn’t be getting the vaccine till AFTER all healthcare workers, essential workers, and vulnerable populations.
Honestly really depressing that the thing that made me leave Congress - nonconsensually shared intimate images - are now being openly displayed IN Congress.
The GOP is the party of revenge porn.
A year ago, I served as the reviewing officer at my brother’s boot camp graduation. I never could have imagined then that within 6 months I would no longer be in Congress, and he would be dead. My heart still breaks every day but I’m grateful for each moment I had with him.
I sued the Daily Mail for their publication of my nonconsensual nude images. Today, we lost in court because a judge - not a jury - thinks revenge porn is free speech. This fight has massive implications for any woman who ever wants to run for office, so quitting isn’t an option.
Today my client,
@RepKatieHill
, lost against perverted Daily Mail, a website that peddles in humiliation and monetizes sexual privacy invasions of women.
DM said, and the court agreed, that Katie's nudes were their free speech.
We think the appellate court will disagree. 1/
For those of us who care about facts:
✔️Dems in the House passed 201 bills this year.
✔️Bill passed on: drug pricing, immigration, infrastructure (and so much more.)
✔️Senate Republicans have taken up only 16 of 201 bills passed in the House.
Takeaway:
#WheresMitch
.
The Democrats in Congress are getting nothing done, not on drug pricing, not on immigration, not on infrastructure, not on nothing! Sooo much opportunity, yet all they want to do is go “fishing.” The American people are tired of the never ending Witch Hunt, they want results now!
You all deserve to hear from me about why I made this devastating decision and where things go from here. I said the fight continues. I mean it, and I hope you’re with me.
Wait, is this a Russian bot or the real
@BernieSanders
? I’m confused.
Also, can someone please tell me exactly what the Democratic establishment is? I’ve never seen a sign that says “Establishment Over Here.”
Is someone who served in the senate for 30 yrs not establishment?
A month ago: WE CAN’T RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE OR BUSINESSES CAN’T FUNCTION
Today: ERMAGERD BUSINESSES CAN’T FUNCTION BC PEOPLE WON’T WORK FOR SHIT WAGES
Well, Mitch McConnell has blocked literally every important piece of legislation for 2 years but at least we’re gonna have NATIONAL FUCKING LOBSTER DAY 🦞
Senate business from earlier:
Sen. McConnell: "I ask unanimous consent the Senate proceed the consideration of S.Res.688 submitted earlier today."
Sen. Rick Scott: "The clerk will report."
Clerk: "Senate Resolution 688 designating Sept. 25, 2020, as National Lobster Day."
Gee Doc, I am sorry you’re behind the times.
@sho_shameless
taught the country that word way back in season 7. And please don’t talk to me about a tattoo... because you just admitted you clicked to see my nudes and that disturbs the hell out of me.
Having been in closed door hearings with him leading up to the first impeachment, I can tell you definitively: Devin Nunes is straight up dumb. Can’t wait to see him “lead” Trump’s media company into the ground.
Hot take: revenge porn - illegally shared images - cannot be considered in the public interest in any circumstance.
If that’s the precedent, countless women will be afraid to run for office because they have shitty exes.
Eleven years ago today, near the bottom of the worst recession in generations, I signed the Recovery Act, paving the way for more than a decade of economic growth and the longest streak of job creation in American history.
We will not stand down.
We will not be broken.
We will not be silenced.
We will rise, and we will make tomorrow better than today.
Thank you, and I yield the balance of my time for now, but not forever. 💜

Complete Farewell Address
"I am leaving now because of a double standard. I am leaving because I no longer want to be used as a bargaining chip."
I am still processing a lot of things — including being attacked with nude photos taken of me. But I know the most useful way for me to move forward is to work even harder to end the toxic culture that drags women down:
So proud to welcome Finn to the world! He made a dramatic entry 7 weeks early but we’re so glad he’s healthy.
Please send love and prayers while Finn grows stronger in the NICU. Thank you for all the support. ❤️
This is my first stint of unemployment since I was 14. My favorite part is wearing workout clothes every day so people think I’m doing great at self care & taking advantage of this time off when I’m not actually working out and really just enjoying not having to get ready ever.
When
@senatemajldr
accepts money from voting machine lobbyists & then blocks election security bills, he’s connecting the dots for us. It’s time to get loud & demand the Senate pass HR1. If they won’t act, we will...we did in 2018 & we will again in 2020.
For those who don’t know: the ONLY reason the USPS runs a deficit is because of a Republican law passed in 2006 intended to sabotage and privatize it called a prefunding mandate. Read about it here:
When he condescendingly says “you know what I mean” after insulting her - he’s every dude who says something horrible and sexist and then goes “you know I was just joking”
Just wanted to say thank you so much to all of the former NICU parents who have reached out with words of encouragement and advice. It’s been so helpful and means the world to us.
Today is the shortest day of the year. For those of us with depression that gets worse in the winter darkness, that means each day from now on gets a little brighter.
#WinterSolstice
I was exposed to COVID-19. Here’s what happened.
TLDR: 1) we’re not testing enough ppl to know how big this thing is; 2) if you think you're in the clear, you're not; 3) our healthcare system is about to be dangerously overloaded & only we can save it so
