The term recession denies the reality of our labor market, which is as strong as it's ever been. My constituents are struggling because of inflation, which is a real issue. Fortunately, we are on track to returning to much more normal levels. https://t.co/M1p7a5bTmM
Asas unthinkable as it might seem, we cannot dismiss the possibility of polio spreading to a larger number of people. Even as we hope for the best, we must prepare for the worst.

I led a Congressional hearing on election security. 1 in 6 election workers have been the target of threats. Violence, intimidation, and harassment against election workers are in danger of becoming a new normal. The impact of #TheBigLie extends far beyond Jan 6.

If we try to be too clever legislatively, we might risk an even more egregious decision from the Supreme Court.
I am in favor of expanding the Supreme Court. But there’s this minor challenge called the filibuster. I am sure you’ve heard of it. But maybe you have a magic wand that make it all disappear. On Twitter, anything is possible. QT @KeithOlbermann: The Supreme Court is imposing minority theocratic rule on this country. Exactly how is it going to get "more egregi… https://t.co/GuDVajzJGM)
The Supreme Court has held that women in 2022 should have less liberty and privacy and equality—less control over their own bodies—than they did in 2021. A dangerous and disgraceful decision that will turn back the clock a half a century. QT @AP: BREAKING: U.S. Supreme Court overturns the landmark Roe v. Wade case, ending nearly 50 years of constitutional prot… https://t.co/pUdimj0ELE)

Wrong. Not even the First Amendment is absolute. Shouting fire in a theater is not constitutionally protected speech. QT @virginiafoxx: It’ll surely pain my Democrat colleagues to hear this, but I’ll say it anyway: the Constitution is absolute. https://t.co/v3dzLAkxbf)
January 6th was a violent assault on democracy and the peaceful transfer of power upon which it depends. There is simply no far-left equivalent of the fat-right insurrectionists who invaded the US Capitol in a violent attempt to overturn the results of an election. QT @sullydish: $2 billion in property damage in the 1619 riots - which were followed by a surge in murders of black Americans. You… https://t.co/iMWA73tzTz)
If a country more guns than its peers and have less regulations of those guns than its peers, what do you think will happen? It hardly takes Einstein to understand the link between guns and gun violence.
Thankful for @FSCDems’ support on policy that improves the lives of #LGBTQ individuals and businesses in this country. #PrideMonth QT @FSCDems: This week, marks the beginning of #PrideMonth and @FSCDems are spotlighting our Committee member @RepRitchie (#NY15… https://t.co/M6dVdxTvxs)
Reminder on the first day of Gun Violence Awareness Month: While Democrats are passing bills to #EndGunViolence, Republicans can only offer prayers. @HouseDemocrats know its time to take action to save lives, they want to take action against doors.
The sadism of the assault is sickening. The City of New York (@nycgov) must do far more to secure our subways and streets, which have been plagued by violence. No community—AAPI or otherwise—should live in fear in their own city. QT @activeasian: A group of men attack a man in a New York subway. The victim looks to be Asian.

@EmiliaDecaudin I never said the term ‘Latinx” should NEVER be applied. However challenging it might be for you, try reading the whole thread next time: https://t.co/f7WueD8PLq QT @RitchieTorres: If you are speaking to a particular person who prefers ‘Latinx,’ then, by all means, use the term. But if you a… https://t.co/yzZTGPekTT)
