There is a lot to fight against right now, but I'm grateful to have something to fight FOR with today's re-intro of the #FAMILYAct. The national FAMILY Act would help would-be parents get the time off they need without compromising their livelihood. #PaidLeave #ForFamily

Today @delauro.house.gov & @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social reintroduced the FAMILY Act! Just 27% of the workforce has paid family leave from their jobs. The FAMILY Act would address America’s paid leave crisis AND benefit working people, families, and businesses. We’re #ForFAMILY #PaidLeaveForAll. 👏

For people who have to work under the hot sun or in conditions of extreme heat, even indoors, it can be deadly. Every worker should come home healthy and safe. A federal heat safety standard is good common sense.

A federal appeals court just ruled that YES, states CAN restrict the abortion pill mifepristone—despite it being FDA-approved and used in over half of U.S. abortions. This is the first time a federal appeals court has said states can override FDA authority to block abortion pills.
