On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. Iโll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.
Stephen Colbert was awarded the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech and speaking truth to power. A fitting honor for a champion of our democracy.
RETWEET to congratulate Colbert on this honor!

Reminder that Henry Winkler is not only a great actor, author of childrenโs books and a fisherman. He is also a great compassionate human being. Be like Henry.
What has unfolded in Minneapolis this past month betrays our most basic values as Americans. We are not a nation that guns down our citizens in the street. We are not a nation that allows our citizens to be brutalized for exercising their constitutional rights. We are not a nation that tramples the 4th Amendment and tolerates our neighbors being terrorized. The people of Minnesota have stood strong โ helping community members in unimaginable circumstances, speaking out against injustice when they see it, and holding our government accountable to the people. Minnesotans have reminded us all what it is to be American, and they have suffered enough at the hands of this Administration. Violence and terror have no place in the United States of America, especially when itโs our own government targeting American citizens.
No single person can destroy what America stands for and believes in, not even a President, if we โ all of America โ stand up and speak out. We know who we are. It's time to show the world. More importantly, it's time to show ourselves.
Now, justice requires full, fair, and transparent investigations into the deaths of the two Americans who lost their lives in the city they called home. Jill and I are sending strength to the families and communities who love Alex Pretti and Renee Good as we all mourn their senseless deaths.
A day will come when Donald Trump no longer dominates our politics.
Even though this is obvious, itโs hard to keep in mind.
The future will belong to those who can think clearly about what happens next.
Pete Buttigieg is the intelligent, rational, unflappable voice of reason. Set aside any misgivings you may have and consider him for President in 2028 so that we can begin to repair the damage done by Trump and his minions. #Buttigieg2028

Yes. We need Medicare for All โ NOW.
A man in Alaska noticed a few homeless cats wandering around his house on freezing nights.
He tried inviting them inside, but since theyโd spent their entire lives on the streets with no human contact, they were too scared to enter. So, he built a small temperature controlled shelter with cozy beds, food, and water just for them.
Every night, the cats come in and rest safely. Deep respect for such kind hearted souls.
I love this so much! ๐นโฅ๏ธ๐๐๐นโฅ๏ธ

You literally can't make this stuff up.
While Trump illegally denied food to 42 million low-income Americans, including 16 million kids, he hosted a lavish "Great Gatsby" party for his billionaire pals at his country club.
This is oligarchy at its ugliest. We must fight back.
Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. Itโs a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. Weโve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.
