WATCH: “Voting in White vs. Black neighborhoods”
Voter suppression is an art form in states like ours. It’s no accident that TN is at the bottom in turnout.

Today RM @RepMarkTakano joined Chairman @SenatorTester to discuss claim sharks taking advantage of our veterans.
These companies require veterans to pay for help, sometimes taking thousands of dollars of benefits from veterans in exchange for filling out the claim for the veteran. This is illegal and we will not allow this to continue.

🚨@SpeakerJohnson's district has a majority of Louisiana’s homeless veterans population.
📢It would be great if one of his first acts as Speaker would be to bring up the bipartisan HOME Act, which includes 2 Democratic bills to help get veterans permanently housed.
1/2 @SecVetAffairs Denis McDonough & I invite you to be the 1 millionth Veteran to join the Million Veteran Program! Help your fellow Veterans—today & in the future—by joining one of the largest research programs in the world studying genes and health.
Abortion is a standard and essential part of health care. This is a decision that should be left to a patient and their provider -- not Republicans who attempt to politicize our institutions.
Veterans deserve the full scope of health care, which includes reproductive care.
I think it's pretty ironic Republicans are perfectly fine with servicewomen making the choice to use our bodies when we sign up to fight wars, but we can't make decisions about our own uteruses.
It's hypocritical.
Senate Republicans are working to strip away reproductive care for our nation's veterans. Our veterans sacrificed so much to serve our country, and we have a commitment to do right by those who served us. So, here’s my message to Republicans: leave our veterans alone. #VACRA
If we trust veterans to serve our nation, how can we not trust them to make their own health care decisions? Even in a case of rape or incest, Republicans want to strip our veterans of their ability to get an abortion.
@SenateDems will continue to stand up for women.
.@jonstewart, on the defense budget: “I can't figure out how $850 billion to a department means that the rank and file still have to be on food stamps. To me, that's fucking corruption.” #WarHorseSymposium
As women face the greatest threats to their autonomy in decades, I’m thankful for advocates like @NARAL. I met with them and military & veteran organizations to make sure we can preserve reproductive care and implement sexual trauma reforms for those who are serving our country.
Sen. Tuberville and the GOP are trying to take away access to reproductive care for our veterans and their families
The MAGA GOP wants to strip freedom of choice from everyone—even our nation’s heroes
Our veterans are more than capable of making their own healthcare decisions
