I'm still contacting my MoCs on the regular, though it feels useless to here in FL, other than that, enjoying retirement with my husband, our kitty, and my hobbies.

Remember that Elon Musk bought Twitter on the basis of bullshit claims that its algorithm was not promoting conservative accounts fairly, and now we're seeing the tech right clamp down on liberals and the left across the board

Thank you to everyone who stood with me over the years. It’s been a scary journey but I have always been grounded in my work and ability to provide exemplary service to my constituents. Trump and his administration have been after me since I arrived in Congress.

Will any reporter ask the President of the United States to name the five specific states where he alleges that public school teachers are deciding -- all on their own initiative, over the objections of the parents -- to force their children into gender-affirming surgeries? Seems like a big story?
