09/18/2022 Tweet - "Today, as we recognize International Equal Pay Day, we are reminded that women all over the world still earn less than men doing the same work. Let's honor the tireless efforts so many women have made to raise awareness about unequal pay and close the gender pay gap."

09/02/2021 Tweet - "The Supreme Court's failure to block the Texas law, #SB8, is an egregious assault on women's reproductive rights, abandoning 50 years of legal precedent with no public deliberation. Congress must uphold Roe v. Wade by passing @RepJudyChu 's Women's Health Protection Act."

06/29/2020 Tweet - "I am pleased that the Supreme Court upheld women's rights today by blocking Louisiana's abortion law. That law would have imposed an unjustifiable burden on access to abortion, denying women the ability to make their own reproductive health decisions."
