Barbra Streisand’s Tweets

Colorado joins a growing number of states to guarantee a woman’s right to choose their reproductive health care.  Women will not be denied their access.

When a woman takes an abortion pill, she knows that she doesn’t want a child then.  There is no proven psychological harm. The Trump judge is wrong.

The 2 Tennessee Democrats who were expelled for advocating for sane gun laws have been reinstated by county authorities. A measure of democracy is restored. President Biden is right there needs to be a federal ban on assault rifles, a weapon of war.

Abortion rights taken away from women after 50 years? Trump appointed judges who don’t keep their word? Lawmakers expelled trying to fight for common sense common laws to stop the savage killing of children in schools? These are dark times for our nation.

Just days after a mass shooting in Tennessee, the GOP legislature in Missouri voted to end the state and local sales tax on guns and ammo but not necessities like food. This is the modern GOP.

Two Tennessee lawmakers were expelled for joining their young constituents who do not want to be slaughtered in their classrooms. Tennessee can no longer be considered a representative democracy.

What a grift! Trump, a billionaire who lives in mansions and flies around in a huge airplane… yet he’s begging for money from people who need it for themselves?!

The shameless Clarence Thomas and his insurrectionist wife took undisclosed luxury vacations (private planes and yachts) all paid for by a right wing billionaire. He violated even the weak rules of the Supreme Court.

While the media keeps covering the indicted, twice impeached Donald Trump, Joe Biden continues to work to support the middle class, expand health care, and the transition to a clean energy economy.

Tennessee Republicans are embracing authoritarianism by expelling duly elected Democrats who embraced the student demonstrations advocating for sane gun control regulation.

Janet Protasiewitz’s stunning victory in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race shows the strength of the pro choice vote after the disastrous US Supreme Court's Dobbs decision overturning 50 years of precedent on women’s healthcare.

More will be discovered at trial, but it is clear from internal emails that Fox News hosts deliberately spread lies about Dominion voting machines and the election Trump lost in 2020.

President Biden is right. The Republicans in Congress need to pass an assault weapons ban. But they are owned by the NRA. When President Clinton passed a 10 year ban, mass shootings declined precipitously. The GOP refused to renew it.

It is very sad. Congresswoman Pat Schroder was a giant in the fight for equal rights. When asked how she could be both a mother and a lawmaker she replied, “ I have a brain and uterus and I use both.”

Jim Jordan’s investigation is rapidly turning into a laughable farce. The GOP should spend time on the concerns of the American public. But the MAGA movement controls the party.

As Dr. Ocko notes, "We cannot solve global warming unless we innovate, but we mustn’t rush into a solution without a better understanding of the impacts of our innovations." I am very proud to have supported this kind of innovative climate change research for over 30 years.

If hydrogen begins to replace fossil fuels on a large scale, it will be critical to control leaks into the atmosphere as hydrogen indirectly contributes to climate change by adding greenhouse gases – an insight that is largely unknown across the hydrogen energy industry.
