    Grateful to for lending a hand today at the home delivery program. Food insecurity has risen from 1 in 5 in MA to 1 in 3 due to the pandemic, & it’s critical to have champions like in DC fighting for us 💪🏽❤️

    This decision is long overdue, but I’m glad that is finally doing the right thing and taking these dangerous products off the market. In partnership with & our colleagues, I’ll keep fighting to ban all talc-based powders in the US.

    Looks like the Occupant of the WH is going after my mentee for doing her job as Sec of State & making sure the people of Michigan can safely vote. This man is certainly afraid of powerful women who fight to protect our democracy. Keep up the good work JB 💜

    Hi! 👋🏼 I also have a name, it’s Jocelyn Benson. And we sent applications, not ballots. Just like my GOP colleagues in Iowa, Georgia, Nebraska and West Virginia.

    This report is as negligent as the administration’s response. This data is essential to getting resources, PPE and testing to communities hardest hit. This Admin is used to skirting the law, we're used to calling them on it.

    HHS should be embarrassed by the lazy, incomplete, 2.5-page copy-and-paste job it calls a “report” on the racial disparities of COVID-19 cases. I'm going to keep fighting until we get this monthly demographic data as required by law.

    Yesterday’s announcement left us with more questions than answers and I have been on the phone with families worried about childcare, faith leaders concerned it is not safe to gather, and small businesses worried about their workers’ health & access to PPE.

    MA isn’t ready to ‘reopen’. Policy decisions that offer a false choice between public health & economic recovery will hurt our communities. I urge to re-evaluate his timeline & invest in the supports needed to keep our families safe.
