Admist all the horribleness of the Capitol attack, there were many congressional staffers who acted with extraordinary bravery. In our office, that was 'G.' Thank you to all the Hill employees who demonstrated incredible courage & resolve in the face of an unthinkable situation. https://t.co/kwgOWaGtpc

The GOP has supported building mass concentration camps on the southern border. Kids & families are dying. Now they want money for more - w/ ZERO negotiation on how $ is spent. We can’t do that. They‘ve shown that when they get more money, they build more camps. #CloseTheCamps https://t.co/DYhXuU9Crz

The inhumane living conditions in NYCHA are a disgraceful result of Congress’ refusal to fund routine public housing investment for almost 20 YEARS. That $32 billion in neglect means kids are now testing w/ lead in their blood, breathing in mold, & more. And it was preventable. https://t.co/VGANPDUNrn

The CEO of Wells Fargo said they chose to finance the unstable Dakota Access Pipeline over Standing Rock Sioux objections, because the bank determined it was “worth the risk.” To whom? #DAPL has leaked at least 5x. And we, the public, are left to pay for cleanup+destroyed land. https://t.co/ugGY1BeBdO

This, right here, is a problem. Institutions can engage in unlimited financing of fossil fuels, building unstable pipelines + reaping profits, but when the bill comes to clean up oil spills & fix damages - they can conveniently kick the can. So, who will pay for climate change? https://t.co/TlfmJKVwjb

I’m proud to announce that my #StateOfTheUnion guest will be @AnaMariaArchil2. Ana Maria is the NY14-er who famously jumped into the elevator with Sen. Flake to elevate the stories of survivors everywhere. She‘s living proof that the courage within all of us can change the 🌎. https://t.co/OLSeNbP4Z2
