“6 weeks pregnant” = 2 weeks late on your period. Most of the men writing these bills don’t know the first thing about a woman’s body outside of the things they want from it. It’s relatively common for a woman to have a late period + not be pregnant. So this is a backdoor ban. — PolitiTweet.org

Wouldn’t you think someone who personally lost over a BILLION dollars (“more than nearly any other taxpayer in America”) be vulnerable to shady activity to get out of that hole? If they became the most powerful public servant in America, wouldn’t you want to see their taxes? 🤔 — PolitiTweet.org

They were illegal in NYC for a long time and never really became a thing after the ban was lifted 😂 Other home things many NYers don’t have in their apartments: washer/dryer, dishwasher, central air. (Saving up for a portable dishwasher was one of the best things we did) — PolitiTweet.org

As if billionaires haven’t been influencing policy this whole time? Health corps are why the US is the ONLY highly developed nation w/o universal healthcare. Fossil Fuel execs funded resistance to climate policy. &corp lobbyists are why we don’t have publicly funded elections. — PolitiTweet.org

The CDC requires doctors to offer info sheets on vaccines/boosters recommended to patients. If you were born before ‘89, you may need a new measles vaccine due to outbreaks. If you want to know what shots are rec’d for adults, the CDC’s has a list here: https://t.co/6FxBEwBEWl — PolitiTweet.org

PSA for folks who haven’t had consistent healthcare/doctors: Get your Tetanus vaccine booster! You’re supposed to get them every 10 yrs as an adult - I just got mine bc I didn’t have insurance for a bit. My shot also included a whooping cough booster bc of recent outbreaks. — PolitiTweet.org

This was always the dream: for people at home + across the country to come together to watch #KnockDownTheHouse w/ community, friends, + family. These moments, making the space and time to talk, are what change our neighborhoods, states, and country. 💕 https://t.co/WOFJGyGy3H — PolitiTweet.org

That a sitting US Senator can say something lacking so much critical thinking + honesty is embarrassing to the institution. If you were a female candidate, maybe you’d be called “unlikeable,” “crazy,” or “uninformed.” But since you’re not, this inadequacy is accepted as normal. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Our extractive, wasteful, fossil fuel economy is posing a direct threat to our own lives. There is a better way: one that’s conscious, just + prosperous. We will not be able to save our planet without first changing ourselves. That is the task before us. https://t.co/NsELCtwehE — PolitiTweet.org

We were so ready for lumberjack life after months of 18 hour days that neither one of us had gotten a haircut in months 😂 it’s also one reason why my hair was always in a bun (It was very nice to see him again after we took a weed wacker to his castaway beard post-election ☺️) — PolitiTweet.org

Just a bit! I made a campaign video in Bengali and it was really fun. Over 200 languages are spoken in my district of NY-14. I can speak 4 (2 are rusty, but it’s like a bike). Picking up a little Bengali is my next goal - we have an awesome community here ☺️ — PolitiTweet.org

I honestly thought GOP witnesses would be well-prepared, w/ sophisticated arguments for the opposing view - evil-genius lobbyist types. But they’re often sloppy + reaching (not all though). I think if everyday GOP voters saw the witnesses called on their behalf, they’d be upset. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

One of the things that genuinely surprised me in Congress is the sheer mediocrity of witnesses called forth by the GOP in hearings. Yesterday they brought in a guy w/ a polka dot bowtie backed by oil lobbyists arguing that fossil fuels are “healthy.” HEALTHY. It’s embarrassing. — PolitiTweet.org

The mediocrity is astounding. How would these guys like it if Gov was 80% female, constantly looking for ways to limit or outlaw condoms + vasectomies, yet had little/no medical context? Sounds crazy? The flipside is what women & LGBTQ+ people have to deal w/ ALL the time. 🤦🏽‍♀️ — PolitiTweet.org
