Nuclear energy is the energy of the future, which makes advocacy from groups like Women in Nuclear so important. I was happy to welcome this group, including leaders from , in my D.C. office today.

My thoughts are with persons experiencing Frenchness.
Quote Tweet
We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing “the” labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college-educated. Instead, use wording such as people with mental illnesses. And use these descriptions only when clearly relevant.

The American Bar Association rated this judicial nominee "Qualified". The extent to which all of these institutions are corrupted by partisanship is breathtaking. americanbar.org/content/dam/ab

Q: “Judge, tell me what article V of the Constitution does?”
Biden judicial nominee: “Article V is not coming to mind at the moment.”
“How about article II?”
Nominee: “Neither is Article II”

Would I vote for Ro Khanna? No. I don't agree with his views. I think he's wrongheaded about a lot. But at least he has VIEWS. He's just in a different category compared to Porter and Schiff - politically, intellectually, morally, etc.

The California Democratic Party is one of the most powerful political organizations in the world. Yet its voters will get to choose between Katie Porter, Adam Schiff, and (probably) Barbara Lee. Just an incredibly bleak scene.

Can't believe this needs to be said but if you aren't looking at the argument against any assumptions you feel compelled to make you aren't analyzing anything, you're just supporting your own predispositions. *You should want to hear the other side, no matter what*

3) Vance: This is in a strategic quagmire. So the question becomes, what is our ultimate objective here? Is it to kill as many Ukrainians and as many Russians as possible? Or is it to bring some sort of resolution to this conflict that hopefully allows us to rebuild Ukraine?

Adam Schiff is an unrepentant Russiagate liar who leveraged his Intel Committee position to mislead the American people on national television.
I don’t think any reasonable person should ask his opinion on free speech.
Quote Tweet
Trump incited an insurrection. And tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power.
He’s shown no remorse. No contrition.
Giving him back access to a social media platform to spread his lies and demagoguery is dangerous.
@facebook caved, giving him a platform to do more harm.

In April 2016, I broke the story of Trump and Putin, using Russian open sources. Afterwards, I heard vague intimations that something was awry in the FBI in New York, specifically counter-intelligence and cyber. We now have a suggestion as to why. 0/20

I had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy in the state of Tennessee one month ago. At no time was I refused care and at no time was anyone restricted from saving my life, even though my baby did die. This is misinformation that could prevent women from seeking help.

In states where abortion is restricted, doctors live in fear of being thrown in jail for simply doing their job.
Dr. Zahedi-Spung shares her story as we call on Congress to protect reproductive freedom for the people of America.

My name is Jacqui Berlinn and it’s my face on the ads running in Washington D.C. urging President Biden not to legalize government drug sites. He wouldn’t have wanted cities to enable the addiction of his son, Hunter. He shouldn’t want that for my son, either.

Are Arizonans ready for a real, true-blue, taxpayer-subsidized-abortions-for-illegal-immigrants progressive candidate? Look forward to finding out!!!
Quote Tweet
Growing up poor, all I had was the American dream. It kept me going: as a kid sleeping on the floor, a student scrubbing toilets, a Marine losing brothers in Iraq.
Today, too many Arizonans see their dream slipping away. I’m running for the U.S. Senate to win it back for you!
