The allegations of domestic violence & child abuse against Rep. Max Miller demand immediate action. This kind of abuse isn't just a private "family matter"—and no amount of shaming or blaming make it less serious. His response to these very serious allegations make clear that he is not fit to serve.

The Ohio Republican who is seeking a third term defiantly denied domestic abuse allegations ahead of a deadline to replace him on the ballot.

I was so happy to be in Virginia yesterday witnessing Governor @abigailspanberger.com sign the first comprehensive paid family medical leave law in the south! What a difference it makes to have lawmakers in touch with the realities of workers and families.

No, #MeToo Isn’t Over
Even in Trump’s America, where lawlessness can feel like the norm, survivors are here, demanding that individuals and institutions treat sexual violence with the seriousness it deserves.

Sexual harassment & assault have no place in any workplace, and we deserve leaders who uphold this basic principle. Accountability cannot be selective. These allegations, and the pattern they are potentially revealing in Congress, must be taken seriously.
National Women's Law Center@nwlc.org · 4mo ago“If you were talking about any other employment setting... you would wonder if you had a pattern.” @fatimagossgraves.bsky.social went on @democracynow.org to discuss the recent resignations of representatives Swalwell & Gonzales amidst sexual assault allegations—and why the story is far from over.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Sending political opponents to prison is something authoritarians do. We must not allow a weaponized DOJ to be the norm. Thank you @replamonica.bsky.social for continuing to fight against this administration’s efforts to scare and silence anyone who dissents.

For her courage and leadership defending her community, her constituents, and our democracy, she is attacked and dehumanized by the most powerful man in the world. This is right out of the authoritarian's playbook. It is as disgusting as it is anti-democratic. This is what fascism looks like.

First they illegally fired federal workers, then they cut funding for bridges and roads, then they stopped SNAP payments and now it is flights. What if they actually focused on governing for all people instead… Costs are not down and communities are not safer. And voters are not confused.

I joined @demwomencaucus.bsky.social today to demand that Republicans get back to work with Democrats to prevent catastrophic increases in health care costs. Millions of women are at risk of losing health care due to skyrocketing costs—Congress can and must prevent that from happening.
It turns out that illegally firing federal workers as a negotiating tactic is bad for everyone. These are the moves of someone who believes there are no checks on his power. Come to the table, lower the cost of health care, open the government. #NoKings
