Since @RepAshleyHinson won't schedule her own town hall in Iowa, her Iowa constituents have scheduled one for her. Join your friends and neighbors in Dubuque on Thursday, March 20, 6:30 pm. #AbsentAshley #IA02

This is not the official portrait. Also, there is nothing to refuse. The official portrait was unveiled in 2022. whitehousehistory.org/photos/fotowar…

Just left Ukraine. What I saw proved to me we can’t give up on the Ukrainian people. Everyone wants this war to end, but any agreement has to protect Ukraine’s security and can’t be a giveaway to Putin. Let me tell you about my trip and why it’s important we stand with Ukraine.🧵

The far right wants us to feel powerless. Extremists are counting on apathy, cynicism, & heartbreak to be their rocket fuel. They are counting on us to point fingers at each other & lose trust in our ability to make change. I absolutely refuse to give them the satisfaction.

Seems like the task force should’ve been in place BEFORE the legislature began dismantling the AEAs. Citizens need to let their legislators know this is a bad plan. #RestoreOurAEAs
Legislative Council met today: we got the the promised AEA task force member list 45 minutes before we had to vote on it…and we got no assurance they will even meet.

Trump has now reaffirmed his plan to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education. For the record that department funds, among other things, all the special education and special needs program in public schools and public colleges in all 50 states.

If you support eliminating the Department of Education, you do not support our students. Period. @USEDgov provides funding for: ✅Students w/ disabilities ✅Rural students ✅Programs that make college affordable This would be bad for students, and bad for America.

Chin up, team. Take some time. Take care of yourself. Take care of your loved ones. Take care of your community. There are a million ways to make a difference—get back in the fight when you’re ready. And know that, whenever you are ready, I’ll be ready to get back in with you.
