05/11/2022 Tweet - "I won't beat around the bush: I am furious. Republicans just voted to force women to be pregnant and give birth when they don't want to. They want this generation of women to have fewer rights than I do. How dare they. We've got to fight back."

04/24/2022 "The law is clear: insurance companies are required to pay for your birth control. But right now, that's not always the case and it's making it harder for women to get essential health care--& I'm working to fix that."

03/16/2022 Tweet - "While Republicans in Idaho & across the country continue working to take deeply personal decisions out of people's hands, I will never stop fighting for women & for all Americans' right to make their own decisions about their bodies, their lives, & their futures."
03/15/2022 Tweet - "I can't believe it's #EqualPayDay 2022 and women still don't have equal pay. If Republicans truly care about building a stronger economy like the claim they do, then they should stop blocking the #PaycheckFairness Act and work with me to get it done."
