Contraception is health care—and it’s under threat. If states like Virginia can’t guarantee the right to birth control, Congress must. We need federal protections to expand access, stop refusals, and ensure coverage. The right to birth control should be the law of the land.…
When states step up to protect contraception access, they save lives—but they can’t do it alone. Trump’s attacks are creating a patchwork of care, confusion, and crisis. Congress must act now and pass the Right to Contraception Act—before it’s too late. @reproequity_now
Lucie Arvallo from @JanesDueProcess reminded us this week: access to contraception is about equity and dignity. This isn’t just a right—it’s a lifeline. When we force teens to navigate parental consent laws or misinformation, we don’t protect them—we endanger them.
Dr. Wilkinson said it best: contraception is health care. Republican attacks and misinformation put contraception access at risk. We must protect the right to reproductive autonomy, rooted in science—not stigma.
Planned Parenthood provides life-saving care for over 2 million patients each year—often as the only provider patients see all year. President & CEO Nicole Clegg of @ppnnehealth made it clear: Defunding them puts lives at risk. Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill risks closing 200 clinics…
Automakers have cried wolf for decades—fighting seatbelts, airbags, and now automatic emergency braking. But safety shouldn’t be optional. It could save your family’s life. I won’t let corporate greed roll back life-saving protections.

Is this how we make America great again? By deliberately starving children? This isn’t America First, this is Starvation First.
Yes or no: If the U.S. has ALREADY purchased specialty foods to keep kids from starving to death, should we deliver that food to dying kids or allow it to spoil, and destroy it? It’s a simple question, but the Trump Administration can’t answer it. Disgusting.
Senate Republicans voted to gut funding for public broadcasting and global health. They’re not cutting costs—they’re cutting Daniel Tiger, rural radio, and pandemic prevention. I won’t stop fighting for our kids and our future.
