Everyone should have the freedom to control their own bodies, lives, and futures. That’s why today, my colleagues and I are introducing the EACH Act - a federal bill that would lift bans on abortion coverage and help ensure more equitable access to reproductive care. #4EACHofUs

Israel killed more Palestinians in the West Bank last year than any year in nearly TWO DECADES.
Now, 25 days into January, Israel is on pace to nearly DOUBLE the number of Palestinians it has killed in the West Bank for 2023.
Are you paying attention?

It is not war against the world. The war in Ukraine is made of US and choice of Ukraine. Now, don't tell us to be involved in your wars. America's war is a war of choice and dominance. Leave Africa out of yiur war.

Palestinians may be banned from flying their flag under an apartheid government, but we can still proudly do it at my office. I’m proud to be a Palestinian American and I want the Palestinian people to know that not all Americans support apartheid. No one can erase our existence.

The FBI distributes this registry to tens of thousands of law enforcement agencies, hundreds of private companies, & 60+ foreign governments. We call on the Biden admin to end its dissemination. It has served no purpose other than to ruin the lives of innocent Muslims. 3/4

This list confirms what we already knew: after 9/11, the FBI created a Muslim registry. If the FBI is allowed to keep this discriminatory, unjust registry, it's only a matter of time before others are targeted as well. 2/4

It's crazy that a struggling single mother getting assistance can be billed as getting a dirty nasty "handout", that she is lazy and needs to get a job.
But the same thing given to a corporation? Oh that's just a positive subsidy!

I will be re-introducing my bill to extend Social Security's solvency for the next 75 years & expand benefits by $2,400 a year. How? By scrapping the cap. Today, a billionaire pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $160,000 a year. Let's end that absurdity.

>>"Israelis who lived from the Stone Age until biblical times,"
There were no "Israelis" from back then, since "Israel" didn't exist until after the Bronze Age Collapse and it was a minuscule kingdom.

Israeli scientists conclude that Palestinians and Druze are closest to DNA found in Canaanite and ancient Israelite ruins. As for Ashkenazim [99% of those who found Isra*l] they share more DNA with Vikings than with ancient Israelites.

International reports of rapidly escalating violence by Hindu nationalists in India against Muslims are absolutely true, but remain woefully incomplete until they include the fact that such elements are similarly violently assaulting Indian Christians for the exact same reasons.
