    On the road in Iowa and the drives get long. So my team challenged me to see how many dad jokes I could deliver in a minute. How’d I do?

    Abortion bans put pregnant people's lives at risk. We know Black women, trans & gender-nonconforming folks are particularly vulnerable & disproportionately criminalized. DAs have the power to refuse to enforce abortion…

    Transgender people face enough challenges in the world. This proposal leaves them even more vulnerable. It's cruel, inhumane, and could be fatal. We're better than this. Everyone deserves a safe place to lay their head.
    ICYMI: Yesterday, the Trump administration took steps to roll back shelter access protections for transgender people experiencing homelessness. 1 in 3 transgender people has faced homelessness at some point in their…

    Receiving an inordinate number of emails today regarding LA SB184! I am adamantly opposed to this unconstitutional bill. Women should control their bodies and be in charge of their healthcare w/ their physician! Hard 🛑 Stop! Roe vs. Wade is the law of the land!

    Separately, in a brief phone interview with me today, called the Trust Nevada Women Act passed by the Assembly yesterday "incredible" and said the state is "making a massive step forward." He said what's happening in Nevada is an example of why elections matter.
