Gabby Giffords is more than an inspiration — she’s a vision of redemption, strength, and unbridled hope for America. 🇺🇸❤️ https://t.co/ovz1P4Z7IH

I'm not going to say that Biden is the most progressive, or the most policy savvy, or the best political tactician.

But he is, above anything else, a genuinely honorable and decent human being.
After 4 years of Trump hell, that's what I want.
I want a decent human being.
Loved watching @KamalaHarris on that stage. Her nomination for Vice President is a historic moment for women, people of color, and immigrants across this country. Together, we will make the halls of power reflect and represent our communities. #DNCConvention

This tribute to the immigrant story is a powerful reminder of what’s at stake in November.

My grandmother came to the U.S. as an orphan with almost nothing. Two generations later, I had the opportunity to run for President.
Joe Biden will help restore that dream. #DemConvention
One of my first memories was my biological dad throwing my mom through a plate glass door. Three years later, my mom got the courage to walk out the door and move us here to Texas. Here I am today.

Domestic violence survivors deserve leaders who will listen to us. #DemConvention
That was one of the best speeches ever!!! Thank you @BarackObama for brilliantly laying out how important the stakes are in this election and capturing our anger, fears, hopes and promises for our future. #dnc2020 #votedem

The silence when @KamalaHarris spoke the words “I accept your nomination for Vice President of the United States,” usually one of the most rambunctious moments of a convention, is a chilling reminder of what’s at stake this November. #DemConvention #DNC2020

Mom, sisters & I huddled up to watch @DNC Conv. We’re enjoying our dynamic women leaders, especially @HillaryClinton & @SpeakerPelosi. We wanted to be together to watch the historic moment of @KamalaHarris acceptance speech!!! Such an inspirational night. #DemConvention pic.twitter.com/3erXXmMRMp

No parent should have to wear themselves thin working to make ends meet while ensuring their kids are cared for. We need universal pre-K, affordable childcare, and well-trained childcare providers. #DemocraticConvention
