Do you live in a state that bans the morning after pills?
Well I don’t!
They sell it on an endcap at my local drug store for $40.
I accept Venmo, Cashapp, Zelle and others.
I will ship this shit anywhere in the U.S. FOR FREE.
Fuck Texas. And fuck any state that thinks my body needs their laws.

And now that this nonsense is making its way through the FDA, I’m going to stock up on a few of them for good measure.
Keep me in mind!

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

It's unacceptable that firefighters who die or are permanently disabled from work-related cancers don't receive the same benefits as others in the line of duty.

I'm working across the aisle to pass my bill to honor our commitment to these first responders and their families.

Tom Emmer is my congressman, and our local chapter just demanded an apology from him.
We’ll never get one because his brand of Republican can NEVER admit they’re wrong. Ever.

If a random guy in a mask grabbed someone and threw them in a vehicle—we'd call that a kidnapping. Until an alleged ICE agent identifies themselves, that's what this is.

For all we know they're a rapist murderer stalker looking for their next victim. Indefensible. Dem leadership must act NOW.

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

Ah yes, air traffic controllers must show up for work without pay, but Congress can take the day off. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he’ll be making “necessary cuts” to the department, because nothing fixes staffing shortages quite like firing more people.
