Governor Youngkin just vetoed the Right to Contraception Act. Access to birth control should never be up for debate. We need a Governor who will protect our freedoms.

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

NEW 🧵 A quick thread of charts showing how Trump’s economic agenda is going so far: 1) US consumers are reacting very very negatively. These are the worst ratings for any US government’s economic policy since records began.

I sent a letter to federal employees as they weigh so-called “deferred resignation” offers. Since, a federal judge has temporarily paused these offers but it's possible they'll ultimately proceed. Here is my message to federal employees trying to figure out what to do: youtube.com/shorts/bFAcy...

In that week when Musk bought Twitter & started bungling it, the possibility occurred to me that he'd bought it to end its usefulness as a pro-democracy tool. I'm so grateful for BlueSky & the fact that we're all here now & that it's increasing possible to get our news here too!
