For all the obvious reasons, it makes sense to cover spouses as well as members of Congress from buying and selling stock. Dependents, too. Let’s end those conflicts of interest. — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone should have equal access to the ballot box—no matter where they live or what they look like. Our freedom to vote is under attack in state legislatures across the country. We need strong federal protections. — PolitiTweet.org

According to @BrennanCenter, state legislatures in 27 states are considering 250+ bills to restrict our freedom to vote in the 2022 session. It’s only February. I don’t know how anyone looks at those numbers and doesn’t see this as a clear attack on our democratic republic. — PolitiTweet.org

Members of Congress were elected to serve the people—not to boost their own stock portfolios. A ban on congressional stock trading is overdue. I’ve been working on this since 2012, and I’m determined to get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

HUGE: The Senate just passed a bill to #EndForcedArbitration. I voted for this bill because every victim of sexual assault or harassment deserves a day in court if they choose—shielding abusers from accountability through forced arbitration is cruel and unjust. — PolitiTweet.org

Banning legacy admissions seems like such a layup that it's kind of weird there's not more of a consensus against it.

This is the right move. The decision to use facial recognition technology on folks who wanted to access their tax information online was disturbing, which is why I called on the IRS to reverse their decision. We need a federal moratorium. https://t.co/NtizlEeFlI — PolitiTweet.org

Americans spend an average of $1,200 every year on prescription drugs—much higher than other countries. It's a rip off. Folks are making impossible choices between putting dinner on the table or filling a prescription. We must pass my #EndPriceGouging for Medications Act. — PolitiTweet.org
