My mom grew up picking cotton in the 1950s. Yesterday, she waited in line to once again pick her son to represent Georgia in the U.S. Senate. We’ve come a long way, but the work isn’t done!
Please vote, Georgia 🗳

If you ever wonder if what you do has a positive impact on others: I saw a piece you did on LA child welfare, went on to get my foster parent license, adopted my 1st son in April 2022 & will soon finalize the adoption of my 2nd. Lots of ups & downs but best decision ever! Thanks

Over four years ago, Brian protested with March For Our Lives to demand action on gun violence in our schools and communities.
This week, he was shot in both hands and through his neck by an AR-15 at his school in St. Louis. He jumped out of a window to save his life.

At an event in Bardstown, a woman showed up to heckle me. She accused me of wanting to kill babies.
I didn’t give her the response she expected.

We got the assault weapons ban through the house this year. If we get a few more senators we can abolish the filibuster, get it through the senate and signed by the president. But we can't do that if you don't vote. So vote.

It’s simple: When the cost of oil comes down, we should see the price at the pump come down as well. That’s how it should work.
But right now, refiners and retailers are making record profits at the expense of the vast majority of Americans. It’s unacceptable.

Herschel Walker just said he'd vote YES on a national abortion ban. We've got to make sure he never gets to cast that vote in the Senate.

I’m not telling anyone what to watch, I know true crime media is huge rn, but if you’re actually curious about the victims, my family (the Isbell’s) are pissed about this show. It’s retraumatizing over and over again, and for what? How many movies/shows/documentaries do we need?

The House just passed my bipartisan Mental Health Justice Act! This bill will save lives and keep us safe by empowering state and local governments to send trained mental health professionals instead of police when 911 is called for someone experiencing a mental health crisis.

It's no surprise that profit margins for giant corporations have reached a new all-time high: they've been using inflation as cover to abuse their market power & jack up prices for consumers.
It’s time to hold corporations accountable for price gouging.

So moved by Dr. Bhusha’s openness about living with bipolar disorder. With the right treatment and supportive environment and community; anyone with a severe mental illness can recover and even thrive.
Quote Tweet
I'm CA's Acting Surgeon General. Today, I'd like to publicly share my journey with bipolar disorder.
Stigma festers in the dark and scatters in the light.
By speaking out, I hope to help dispel stigma. To help anyone struggling know they’re not alone — and to have hope. 1/

We woke up to more devastating news. In Henderson, KY, two lives were taken, and four more were injured from another mass shooting.
This pain seems to never end. Praying for the families, first responders, and everyone affected. We have to address this public health crisis.
