Our friends at @ydnc.bsky.social & @ncdemocrats.bsky.social have been hard at work the last 6 months fighting to protect North Carolinians' votes.

The kind of leadership we've seen in NC is exactly what YDA needs—which is why we're so excited to have Dorian Palmer on our slate for YDA's DNC Rep!

GOOD NEWS: The Senate just blocked a GOP bill to ban trans kids from playing sports with their friends at school.

This bill was so extreme it could have opened up any girl—trans or cisgender—to invasive physical inspections.

We're grateful to our Senate allies who voted "No"!

You are exactly who you should be. “Exactly” is in rainbow colors, “Should” is in the colors of the trans pride flag, and “be” is in intersex pride flag colors.

Remember, the President doesn’t get to decide who you are—that’s all up to you.

And you’re exactly who you should be.

Last night, Trump lied about LGBTQI+ people, about trans rights, about trans servicemembers, about medical research, about foreign aid funding, about school sports, about education, about "DEI." Who's surprised?

Last night, Trump demonized the LGBTQI+ community with lie after lie about lifesaving medical care, trans servicemembers, foreign aid funding, & more.

We see through his lies.
Americans see through his lies.
The world sees through his lies.

And we're standing up for truth.

Trump's top public health priority isn't stopping bird flu, he's too busy attacking trans people. IMAGE: Donald Trump smirking.

While bird flu wreaks havoc on our farms & drives up prices for Americans, Trump's Department of Health is launching a campaign against trans people.

Trump will stop at nothing to attack trans people—even if it means diverting critical resources to a campaign of hate.

GOOD NEWS: A federal judge just temporarily blocked part of Trump's EOs that tried to ban trans people under 19 from accessing medically-necessary & lifesaving care!

Let’s keep the government OUT of Americans’ private, medical decisions.

Announcing a historic 191 Members of the U.S. House of Representatives have joined the Congressional Equality Caucus at the start of the 119th Congress. IMAGE: U.S. Capitol with a rainbow behind it.

Today, we're announcing that a historic 191 Members of the U.S. House have joined the Congressional Equality Caucus this Congress—the most we've ever had at the start of a Congress!

Error 47: This information has been censored by order of President Trump. IMAGE: a computer screen displaying an error message.

Because of Donald Trump's crusade against LGBTQI+ people & other minorities, federal agencies have scrubbed their websites of information about gender, sex, and other topics the White House thinks should be off-limits to the American people.

This is censorship, full stop.

Equality Caucus Slams Trump's Day-One Anti-Equality Attacks. “Donald Trump spent his first day back in the Oval Office seeking to both erase the existence of transgender people and curb government efforts to protect and support transgender people, as well as the wider LGBTQI+ community. " Rep. Mark Takano, Chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus. Read our full statement at the link in our bio. IMAGE: President Trump signs an Executive Order after his Inauguration on January 20, 2025.

On his first day, President Trump prioritized attacking the LGBTQI+ community over solutions to any of the real problems facing American families.

Read Chair @repmarktakano.bsky.social's response to President Trump's first anti-equality attacks at the link in our bio.

"There's not going to be cheaper groceries, you stupid slut."

Trump would rather use the powers of the Oval Office to attack trans people instead of solving even a single real problem facing American families.

Is anyone surprised?

It only took 12 days into the 119th Congress for Republicans to pass a bill that could force kids to face medical inspection or answer humiliating questions about their body—to adults they dont know—in order to "prove" their gender.

Leave kids alone, you freaks.

US House Clerk Susan Cole

so excited that we get to see this queen again today

Marked safe from running for DNC Chair today

cant say the same for all of yall and thats a shame..

do yall think my mom bought enough cheese for the holidays?

You are not serious people

It's official: Congressional Republicans haven't passed a single appropriations bill that became law in their 2 years of controlling the US House.

Just been CR after CR after CR.

What a pathetic excuse for a political party.

Whip's Nightly Preview: House meets at 9, first votes "???", last votes "???"

republicans govern challenge: level impossible

ive been saying we need to expand the cap for a long time. glad its finally getting talked about more!

right now, 1 member of the house represents 747,000+ people, up almost triple from the 1:210,000 in 1910.

this + abolishing the electoral college 🥰

republicans scream about "protecting women" but won't do anything about their colleague who's been accused of r*ping a child or the adjudicated r*pist they just elected president

they only seem to care about "protecting women" when they get a chance to attack trans people

While Republicans in Congress are screaming and obsessing over what bathroom trans people use, Democrats are there fighting to lower the cost of healthcare, relieve student debt, and support working Americans.

Both parties' priorities couldn't be any clearer.

Love to ban trans women from capitol restrooms in order to “protect women and girls” while suppressing a report about the incoming attorney general paying for the statutory rape of a minor while in congress and showing women’s nudes on the House floor

Rep-elect McBride stands with young people, and young people stand with her.

Nancy Mace's resolution is a pathetic attempt to try and distract from their inability to govern by singling out 1 duly-elected Representative in 435.

It's also weird to claim Democrats are "obsessed" with trans people when she's the one tweeting about them 20+ times in <1 day.

Thinking about this, and I just realized that there's like a 99% chance that Marjorie Taylor-Greene or some other right-wing weirdo is going to try to turn what bathroom Sarah is allowed to use at the Capitol into a whole thing. Calling it now.

this is how Nancy Mace welcomes the first trans woman to Congress Liz Elkind @liz elkind Scoop: Nancy Mace is introducing a resolution to ban transgender women from using women's restrooms in the U.S. Capitol

Called it.
