Mitch McConnell voted 6 times to raise his own pay and 15 times against raising the minimum wage.

Kentucky has voted for him for 34 years making him the 11th richest senator, while Kentucky remains the 7th poorest state.

Kentucky - PLEASE - repeal & replace McConnell in 2020...

A religious leader just interrupted Jeff Sessions and recited Matthew 25:42—43:

"I was hungry and you did not feed me. I was a stranger and you did not welcome me."

He was removed by police.

Another religious leader defended him.

He was also removed.

"I hear people who say 'we're nothing, but coal,' and I think, coal is nothing but a fossil, a history of an organism that couldn't evolve. Is that what we want to be?"-- Wilma Steele, co-founder of the WV Mine War Museum at the @appfoodsummit.

.@ICEgov has already recklessly overspent its budget & this is the second time in 6 months it is asking Congress to bail it out. We only have a few weeks to stop this funding increase. Tell Congress to stand up to ICE! https://t.co/kHMQVgfCRw #DefundHate

You changed the world.

We'll never forget you.

Rest in power and love.

Wow. The Israeli Foreign Ministry demanded the BBC change their headline - which said Israeli air strikes "kill pregnant women and baby" - and the BBC did as they were told. Astonishing.

Oh, wow: @swetha_kan et al made a (very depressing) choose-your-own-adventure game about the choices faced by defendants arrested by dirty cops: https://t.co/zJhYOtvPnj
