If women ran Congress, we wouldn’t be talking about whether to provide access to birth control or pass national paid leave. We’d do it. Women know how to come together to get things done.

Today's atrocious acts of terror were intended to instill fear and intimidate elected officials and journalists. It won't work. I'm grateful to the Secret Service, FBI, Capitol Police, NYS Police, NYPD and local law enforcement officials who acted immediately to keep people safe.

So much that’s wrong with our political system – the soft corruption and interest peddling – has roots in the same place: There’s too much money involved in our campaigns. We need to undo Citizens United and restore power to the people the government is supposed to protect.

If my Republican colleagues truly believe in protecting access to health care, they would be pledging to protect it all the time – not just in the final weeks before Election Day.

This policy of stalling voter registration will disproportionately affect people of color, stripping them of their right to make their voices heard at the ballot box – which is exactly what Kemp is counting on.

Let’s be clear about what Stacey’s facing: Her opponent in the race for governor is using the power of his office to try to suppress the vote because he’s fearful that more people turning out will mean he could lose.

At a ticketed fundraising event, @staceyabrams’ opponent Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp reportedly said he had concerns over her campaign’s GOTV operation – “especially if everybody uses and exercises their right to vote.”

Here’s the thing: Amy is up against millions in big-dollar donations that right-wing corporate allies have been pouring into this race to defeat her – but I believe in Amy, and I know we can win as long as each member of this team steps up to send our urgent support.

.@AmyMcGrathKY has been breaking down barriers her entire career, like when she became the first woman in the Marines to fly an F/A-18 into combat. Now, she’s running for Congress to break down another one by becoming the only woman to hold federal office in Kentucky.

Sandra Day O’Connor is a trailblazer who paved the way for women to sit on the highest court in our nation. I’m so grateful for her life of service and her countless contributions to this country. My thoughts are with her and her family during this difficult time.

Stacey has been a champion of voting rights throughout her entire career. She founded the New Georgia Project specifically to get more minorities and young voters registered. Now, she's running to bring her passion and commitment to the governor’s office.

Let’s be clear about what’s happening in GA: attempted voter suppression. Thousands of voter registrations have been suspended. This is a direct attack on communities of color and their right to make their voices heard. We urgently need to help @staceyabrams fight back.

When this administration spews hate, we will speak out louder. When they commit injustice against one of us, we will come together to stand stronger. When they attack our basic human rights, we will fight back harder. Transgender Americans #WontBeErased. We won’t stand for it.
