MAGA is to blame for a shutdown. Period.

Because you marched, organized, and voted, we passed the most significant gun safety legislation in 30 years. But let's be clear — we have more work to do.
Today, I am proud to share that I will oversee the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention.

Yes, @ChuckGrassley voted against MLK Day, the Affordable Care Act, and blocked the nomination of Judge Merrick Garland… but he wore a suit! 😑😑😑

It's not just Rick Scott.
156 House Republicans released a plan to raise the retirement age to 70.

It’s #ValentinesDay and Republicans are showing their love for #BigPharma by continuing their fight to repeal the #InflationReductionAct.
It’s time they ended that toxic relationship and put patients over Pharma profits.

Speakers at the hearing were limited to members of the extremist Moms4Liberty anti-trans, homophobic, hateful, group from Florida who are now @IAGovernor's best friends.

The #ialegis Book Banning hearing is already full. They are not accommodating standing room. @GarnerJennie & I were informed this is a “private event” and blocked at the door. Later arrivals permitted with “saved seats”. #IntellectualFreedom #Freadom

If any member of the House or Senate wants to take a look at some of the books parents are coming here to try to ban today, they are available on my desk. Stop by. When we ban books, we cut people off from different perspectives and experiences. #ialegis #considercompassion

New from @n_hytrek: Young LGBTQ Iowans continued to be targeted by Republican lawmakers at a right-wing forum this week, with one legislator calling many of them mentally ill as other key lawmakers looking on

We will not allow Social Security and Medicare to be sacrificed at the altar of Extreme MAGA Republicans.

Extremist politicians are eying cuts to Social Security under the guise of reducing the deficit—even though, by law, the program adds $0 to our national debt. I used my whiteboard to call out this dangerous lie and stand up for the millions of Americans who rely on the program.

Victory.
Thank you Arizona.
As 21st Secretary of State, I will do my best.

In 1791, the Second Amendment was written.
In 1847, the bullet was invented.
Thus, the Second Amendment only applies to muskets.

THIS IS AMAZING: 72 percent of women ages 18-29 voted for Democrats in House races nationwide and made the difference.
Never underestimate the power of PISSED off women!

When 1 in 5 diabetic adults are rationing #insulin due to sky high prices, it’s clear something needs to change.
We must fight to ensure that EVERYONE can access the insulin they need. #WorldDiabetesDay2022
Eli Lilly @lillypad is an evil company that holds diabetic Americans’ lives hostage for profit.
I’ve used the same exact insulin for 26 years, made by Lilly. The only thing that’s changed is the price has increased from $20/vial to $300+ in that time.
Happy World Diabetes Day

Lower drug prices are on the ballot tomorrow. The #InflationReductionAct caps insulin at $35/month for those on Medicare, enables Medicare negotiate for #LowerDrugPricesNow, and caps out-of-pocket drug costs for seniors – some Senators want to repeal it. orlandosentinel.com/opinion/…
