I’ve been in Congress for 100 days. Most of the really angry voices here are faking it.

Two of the men who voted to take away a woman’s right to control her own body have been credibly accused of sexual assault.

Roe v. Wade was just overturned. NC is now one of the only states in the South where access to abortion is still legal. 22 Senate Democrats are our last line of defense against the criminalization of abortion. We can’t lose one. #keeproestatusquo Donate: bit.ly/cantloseone

Roe v. Wade is based on the 'right to privacy.' If the majority opinion by SCOTUS suggests that the constitution does not protect the right to privacy... that affects a WHOLE lot of other decisions. Buckle up - this is the beginning of a lot of potential ugliness. A thread.

The Supreme Court has voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito and obtained by POLITICO. “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Alito writes. politico.com/news/2022/05/0…

Breaking: An important win for equality in NC today. The NC Supreme Court just upheld a lower court ruling that victims of domestic violence in same-sex relationships have a constitutional right to protective orders to keep them safe, even though a state law said otherwise. 1/2

In February 2020, just 2 years ago, 52 of 53 Republican senators voted to allow (then) President Trump to block congressionally authorized sale of critical military supplies to the courageous President Zelensky of Ukraine, unless Ukraine manufactured anti-Democratic propaganda.

BREAKING: I just filed a brief with the North Carolina Supreme Court on behalf of Gov. Cooper and myself urging the Court to clarify that the North Carolina constitution prohibits partisan gerrymandering. Partisan gerrymandering distorts our democracy. 1/1

Remember, if local authorities in Georgia had their way, no one would have ever been charged for the murder of Ahmaud Arbery. It took weeks of protest before charges were even brought in the case, 74 days after Arbery was shot and killed in February 2020.

They top attorney for @NCHouseSpeaker Tim Moore is already saying that the legislature will appeal this ruling--and criticizing the judges for what he calls a politically motivated ruling. That update (and many more) now posted: newsobserver.com/news/politics-… #ncpol #ncga

A follow-up #LeadWithLeandro thread. Last week, I talked about how extraordinary the NCGA's stance in the case is, and someone asked me what the Court can do to make the Legislature comply. I did some research over the weekend, and here's what I learned: 1/

A Supreme Court where 5 of 6 conservative justices were appointed by GOP presidents who initially lost popular vote & confirmed by senators representing minority of Americans are taking away voting rights & reproductive rights from millions of Americans. This is not democracy

Quick thread: The suspect in today’s standoff rattled off a bunch of conspiracies on Facebook Live on his way to DC. Election fraud, Trump reinstatement, weird stuff about coins. One, though, seemed personal. Afghan refugees would get free healthcare, he said, and he doesn't.
