Today, @VP and I are announcing over $40 billion will go to delivering high-speed internet in places where there’s either no service, or it’s too slow.
From Alaska to Appalachia, every community will have what they need to connect folks to reliable high-speed internet by 2030.
So this racist white lady in Florida yelled racial slurs at Black kids, hit them with an iPad and skates. When their mom went to speak to her, racist lady killed her and is still free.
Now you see why the NAACP said Florida is "hostile" to Black ppl and told y'all to stay away.
In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.
A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.
Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.
A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?”
Values are transmitted from generation to generation.
What values are we teaching our children?
Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.
As of now, the Manhattan DA's criminal case against Donald Trump remains under the supervision of a state court judge, Juan Merchan. But it won't stay that way if Trump pulls off his second, high-profile removal attempt. 1/
I’m so livid.
I just watched Kevin McCarthy walk into one of Washington D.C’s fanciest restaurants with his secret service and his entourage to enjoy his dinner.
No I’m not saying where.
At the same exact time McCarthy and Republicans are holding our entire country’s economy hostage.
Any why? Why the fuck are they doing it?
So they can force extreme cuts to the part of the budget that funds nutrition for newborns and pregnant moms, cancer research, and grants for clean drinking water.
It’s not McCarthy who would suffer in a debt crisis and it’s not his rich buddies either.
It would be YOU.
It would be everyone who relies on Social Security to pay rent and afford food.
Just those disruptions alone would have enormous economic and health consequences over time.
To Republicans, what the fuck are you doing? Why aren’t you screaming for them to stop this terrorist bullshit? Do you not realize this would affect you too?
In the meantime, Kevin McCarthy will be on the finest restaurants on your dime.
Enjoy your fucking meal, asshole.
Let me get this straight -
Democrats are anti-dictator.
Republicans are not.
Democrats want to protect the planet.
Republicans do not.
Democrats want bodily autonomy for women, the right to love who you love and the right to live authentically.
Republicans do not.
Democrats want to stop school shootings.
Republicans do not. (They want to hand out more guns and pray).
Democrats want to avoid a default on our debt.
Republicans do not.
Democrats believe in democracy and the rule of law.
Republicans DEFINITELY do not.
So, tell me - how the hell is this shit is even up for debate?
My hot take is that Ch*tGPT is free right now because it needs you to feed it your stories, essays, and poems for free, and when it’s done taking all you have, they’ll put it all behind a paywall.
BREAKING: Trump really just claimed he wasn’t allowed to defend himself in the E. Jean Carroll rape (battery) and defamation trial.
FACTS: He turned down the opportunity to testify. He had a defense team.
His claim just now on Truth Social: “Waiting for a jury decision on a False Accusation where I, despite being a current political candidate and leading all others in both parties, am not allowed to speak or defend myself, even as hard nosed reporters scream questions about this case at me. In the meantime, the other side has a book falsely accusing me of Rape, & is working with the press. I will therefore not speak until after the trial, but will appeal the Unconstitutional silencing of me, as a candidate, no matter the outcome!”
Today—when the Speaker continued to not recognize me as a duly elected official—my constituents & community protested on behalf of their democratic right to be heard.
I raised my mic and stood in solidarity with them. I am devoted to those who rise in defense of democracy.
Just to recap, Clarence Thomas:
-Accepted lavish trips from GOP billionaire megadonor Harlan Crow
-Had undisclosed real estate deals with Crow
-Didn’t recuse himself from a SCOTUS case that involved Crow's business
Are we really going to let him get away with this?
BREAKING:
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has reported rental income worth hundreds of thousands of dollars from a real estate firm that has been defunct for nearly 20 years
That sounds illegal.
@matthewmercer Hell yeah dude!!! Living your dream and becoming part of the universe that inspired your and brought you joy!! That's so amazing, you're going to crush it, and a new generation will have you as their Ganondorf and will find their joy in Zelda as you did!!
JUST IN: Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson will likely be reappointed to their seats after they were expelled from the Tennessee House!!
For Jones, his now empty seat will be filled by the Metro Nashville Council, and a majority of members already say they’ll reappoint Jones back to the seat for the duration before the special elections occurring later this year.
For Pearson, The Shelby County Commission, which has a Democratic majority, is expected to do something similar.
This is GREAT NEWS! 💙
