We need to talk about who is dying and why in childbirth in the U.S. 📊
You have likely seen the viral video recently from a distressed pregnant woman; I won't rehash that event again, as it is painful for many.

This Saturday morning, come have a cup of joe with Joe ahead of the CD-5 Candidate forum. Come chat, hear his vision for the role, tell him what's on your mind and pick his brain about what an effective representative in Congress will do for our district.

In a dizzying turn of events, #Trump has decided that instead of blatantly ignoring an order, the admin will instead drag their feet like a defiant toddler being told to take a nap.

Folks, NDAs aren't legally binding when your orders are illegal. This is just a scare tactic to get compliance and keep people from going to their lawyers and Congresspeople to expose what's going on.

We (collectively) lost the plot.
Got complacent.
And now everything’s a dumpster fire.
But here’s the thing 👉🏼 we still have hands, hearts, and buckets.
So grab one.
There’s work to do.
