This is what sexual harassment in the workplace looks like.
Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!

First: Abortion is still legal.
The language in the draft opinion leaked from the Supreme Court is outrageous, irresponsible and shocking.
Any Justice who signs onto this opinion is fueling the harm and violence that will happen to people who become pregnant in this country.

We needed this win today. But we must remember: “Intact” doesn’t necessarily mean accessible. Having to drive hours, wait days, or go without insurance coverage of abortion is not real access. And these barriers are often worse for Black, POC, LGBTQ, and low-income people.

2. Support abortion funds. They need us now, and they’re going to keep needing us.
🧵: Tomorrow could be the last anniversary of #RoevWade. If the Supreme Court overturns nearly 50 years of court precedent, states across the country are likely to ban abortion. Help us hold the line on abortion access in these states, no matter what SCOTUS says:
