Republicans think that they won last night. They did NOT win! Here's a video of a 'Covenant Mom' embracing expelled Tennessee Rep. Justin Pearson. - Make sure this video goes viral. - Make sure everyone knows what this man stood for and what Republicans stood against. - Make sure you never forget what happened last night in Tennessee and 9 days ago in Nashville! THANK YOU Tennessee Three!

QIAGEN and NCMEC collaborate to raise awareness on the impact #DNA testing can have on missing and exploited children cases. When technology and purpose go hand in hand, there is hope to strengthen the field of human ID. Learn more ➡️ qiagen.com/applications/huma…

These documents were given to superintendents today. There are very very dangerous ideas in the Arkansas governor's plan for education. – at Little Rock, AR

When the “opportunity presented itself to join…he thought about it and thought better of it,” says @andersconcooper after Sen. Ted Cruz mocked a “woke, emasculated” military. “When somebody doesn’t serve I don’t know it’s a great idea to be attacking someone who did serve.”

Too many for one person to handle effectively. You would think after this past year, adults in charge could fix this. #schoolcounselors

As a school counselor I am an advocate for ALL children not some. I don’t pick and choose who to support. No matter what I will listen. Arkansas should receive an F for not listening to all children #infantmortaily #ChildAbusePreventionMonth #TransRightsAreHumanRights
Just 3 companies control nearly all of our insulin supply: Eli Lilly, Sanofi, and Novo Nordisk. Shocker: it turns out they raise prices in tandem—at least 13x in 10 years—while patients are rationing or starving themselves to try to cut costs. I want answers.

By learning the warning signs for suicide, you can help #StopSuicide. Warning signs can appear in a person’s behavior, mood, or how they talk, and there is no single cause for suicide. Learn more about risk factors and the warning signs of suicide at afsp.org/signs

Thank you @TimKaine @SenJackReed @SenToddYoung @BillCassidy @RepSusanWild @CongressmanRaja @RepJudyChu & @RepMcKinley for reintroducing the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act! #AFSPadvocacy
One year ago today, I pressed the former head of the CDC to make COVID tests free for all. Despite his promise and laws mandating free tests, many Americans were still billed. I’m thankful @POTUS has prioritized closing coverage gaps. Testing is still key to fighting this virus.
I did the math: a full battery of coronavirus testing costs at minimum $1,331. I also did the legal research: the Administration has the authority to make testing free for every American TODAY. I secured a commitment from a high-level Trump official that they’d actually do it.
