The NDAA, out today, fails our Afghan allies. The Senate removed a provision to extend the SIV program as well as @RepMoulton's bipartisan protection of our wounded Afghan allies.
America's veterans will not stand for the abandonment of our partners.
I’m the Democrat running against Lauren Boebert for Congress!
I’m a pro-business, rural focused leader that’s ready to unseat her in November. She only won 51% of the vote in 2020!
Help us get to 20,000 followers and keep the momentum we need to unseat her. RT and share!
Rep. Diana DeGette talking about the need to codify abortion rights. She points out that the House passed a bill to do so, but the Senate rejected it
(At a rally for abortion rights at the state Capitol)
Today, we remember the hell unleashed 101 years ago in Tulsa, where Greenwood was raided, firebombed, and destroyed by a violent white supremacist mob. It wasn’t a riot, it was a massacre. We must continue to reckon with the past and work to build a more just future.
Another endorsement today, this time from my second grade teacher Ms. Gates! Having the support of such a great educator and community member means so much!
If you haven’t already, vote by Tuesday!

Pence calls for a national abortion ban https://nytimes.com/live/2022/06/24/us/roe-wade-abortion-supreme-court/mike-pence-praises-the-supreme-courts-abortion-decision-saying-life-won…
Clarence Thomas writes, in a concurring opinion, that the Supreme Court should reconsider Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell — the rulings that now protect contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage.
This morning's SCOTUS decision is an attack on women and an example of how this Court is rescinding the rights of Americans. I've had right to marry for under 7 years. I know what it is like to not be equal. I will always fight to protect rights for everyone.

“Every school that I’ve taught at in my 13-year career, I’ve been the only Black teacher … and it’s been super frustrating because the kids want to see people that look like them," said Colorado educator Shayla Williams.
In his closing, Judge Michael Luttig stated plainly that Donald Trump, his allies and supporters remain a “clear and present danger” to American democracy.
Hearing these words from this source is extremely powerful.

Surveillance footage shows a tour led by Loudermilk to areas in the House Office Buildings, as well as the entrances to Capitol tunnels.
Individuals on the tour photographed/recorded areas not typically of interest to tourists: hallways, staircases and security checkpoints.
When I see the seedheads of Western Salsify or the common dandelion, I often think how beautiful and fragile they are. So, too, is democracy. Make sure you’re registered to vote, and make sure you return your ballot.
The pit in my stomach after watching the first of the January 6 hearings is immense. I decided to run for office because of the horrors of that day. We need leaders at every level who will defend our democracy. I will do that every single day.

this evening - says there were "all three branches of government involved" in Meadows' text messages - i.e. a forwarded text from Ginni Thomas to Meadows from Rep. Gohmert's chief of staff
🧵I can't fucking sleep tonight. Kept thinking about one of my last calls as an EMT after reading about cops not willingly putting themselves in harm's way. August 2001. I pulled my bus up just outside the PD cordon at the site of a DV call. 1/
14 kids and 1 teacher. Dead.
10 Black grocery shoppers. Dead.
A man taking his mother to church. Dead.
Young and elderly, at schools, churches and grocery stores. When will we say enough is enough and do something about it?

Senator Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT): "The 14 kids dead in an elementary school in Texas right now. What are we doing? What are we doing? Just days after a shooter walked into a grocery store to gun down African American patrons we have another Sandy Hook on our hands."
After 5 months of paying rent & utilities on an uninhabitable house damaged in the #MarshallFire, a week before I’m scheduled to move back in the owners have terminated my lease. This is what renters/fire victims are dealing with — we need help. @pweiser@jaredpolis
announces his decision to retire at the end of 2022. He's been the face of the evening news on CBS4 since 2002. "Life is short and now my wife, Karen, and I want to visit some of the bucket list places we've always dreamed of seeing."
