At the end of the day, the question is: Do we value women? And for me, there will always be only one answer.
If you agree, join me:
I wish we didn't have to have a #WearOrange weekend. I wish we didn't have to see news of another shooting seemingly every day.
Today, I'm wearing orange because I know we don't have to keep wishing. I know we can end this. And we will.

TW LIVE: Happy Pride, Iowa! I'm back at the Blazing Saddle in Des Moines with some friends — join us:
I'm in Iowa again this weekend and stopped by our headquarters to meet our new organizers—like Michaela, who I met at a Des Moines event back in March, and who just moved here to work on our campaign!
This is such an inspiring team, and I can't wait to win Iowa together.

It’s been 100 days since the House passed background checks.
In that time, 10,000 people have been shot and killed, 2 students died tackling shooters in their classrooms, & 12 people were killed at work. How many more, Senator McConnell & President Trump?
With this marijuana legalization plan, we can start working to not only heal the damage done by racist drug laws, but tap into the medical and economic opportunity that marijuana offers.
Gun violence is an epidemic in this country, but it doesn't have to be. We could change it if elected officials were brave enough to stand up to the NRA.
On #NationalGunViolenceAwarenessDay, we must commit to keep up the fight to end gun violence. The stakes are too high not to.
Too many families are struggling to make ends meet, and children are being held back as a result. Guaranteeing the right to affordable child care and early education will not only help parents financially, but it will level the playing field for kids—no matter where they're from.
Trump may think this is a game, but these are people's lives we're talking about. And he's hurting them. We must protect and strengthen programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security—not make debilitating cuts to their funding.
Nothing proposed today can ever undo the devastating harm done to generations of communities of color by the War on Drugs. But it’s long past time to start making this right.
It's time to legalize marijuana nationwide.
