History and context is IMPORTANT. @KevinMKruse has given us a handy primer of where we’ve been and how we got here. I’m keeping it handy...

ICYMI @SherrodBrown, this could be you talking sense, too. Get it together, my man.

[Brian Myers Cooper @BriMyCooper]

@SherrodBrown Sooooooooooo disappointed. Just… wow.
We need you to win. You’re the highest ranking politician in OH who gives a duck about working class people. You gotta know that pushing Joe aside now kneecaps yours and every other down ballot campaign. Get it together man.

Hey there @ascendo & @marcbolh
What’s up w DataVault password manager? I’ve used it for 12+ yrs, but there’ve been NO UPDATES FOR THREE YEARS!! Love it, I can’t trust this a data to an abandoned app.

Update w support for physical security keys/Passkeys, or let us know to go.

The topic of Medicare Advantage is deeply personal to me. In her late 80s, my mom lived in an assisted living facility. Years earlier, a friendly salesperson told her about all the money she could save on prescription drugs by switching to Medicare Advantage. She was enamored. 👇

Do they understand that the federal minimum wage is $7.25/hr?

This is what @HouseGOP has us voting on tonight:

-Reduce salary of National Highway Transportation Administration head to $1

-Reduce salary of Deputy Secretary of Transportation to $1

-Reduce salary of Asst Secretary for Housing to $1

House Republicans are not serious people.

Having led union negotiating teams, all I can say is… yup.

Also, multi-hyphenate members may have a vested interest in SAG-AFTRA taking a crap deal to get their projects back into production—interests that are good for them, bad for the rest of us.

Senator Bob Casey has introduced a bill to automatically enroll all children in Medicaid from birth through age 18.

The Medicaid for Every Child Act would mean that no child would ever have to go without health care in this country.

@DevinCow All the TP in the house.

Notice how it’s always “you have to call out sin!” until it comes to the sins of American Christianity.

Then this accountability just gets called “religious persecution.”

[Rep. Casey Weinstein 🇺🇸 @RepWeinstein]

This feels like a GREAT day to remind everyone that @Jim_Jordan called a 10yo rape victim a LIAR.

Then deleted the tweet and refused to apologize.

@MollyJongFast On brand.

"Pro-life" my ass.

[Rep. Zooey Zephyr @ZoAndBehold]

A shotgun was fired at a planned parenthood in Helena on Thursday. Every political figure who drums up fear around abortion, sex ed., etc., is fanning the flames of real violence.

Abortion care is health care, and all Montanans deserves safety & privacy in their doctor's office.

[Brian Myers Cooper @BriMyCooper]

About damn time.

BREAKING: Chicago just voted to eliminate the subminimum wage for restaurant workers.

Currently, tipped workers like servers are paid $9.48 + tips.

The new law will raise that to the full minimum wage of $15.80.

[Brian Myers Cooper @BriMyCooper]

@FrankLaRose @Jim_Jordan Said about a legislator who has yet to pass a bill of his own, seeking a position where getting things passed is the primary responsibility. Right.

@DuchessSexpert It’s actually way worse… $20,424 a year.

Cancel for-profit private health insurance. We’re ready.

Kroger has a modern-day slavery problem.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Labor revealed that Kroger was buying and selling produce harvested by modern-day slaves.

But you can stand with farmworkers trying to end this forced labor. Thread.

Reading this article, I achieved zenlike clarity on why Delta is confident it can screw its loyalty program members and cardholders with zero repercussions. Did you know nearly 1% of total US GDP is charged to Delta branded Amex cards?

America, land of innovation…

…for all the wrong reasons.

Joe woke up and chose violence this morning.

I’ll ask you nicely to buy this new, color-changing campaign mug.

But I know someone who won’t: https://t.co/iRL1DMxYAb
