My time, talent, & treasure are aimed at unseating officials who vote to limit access to healthcare and/or access to the ballot box. #GOTV

Let me tell you why I'm with the Brown folk and queer folk and the women folk - somebody just reminded me of this - I was born and raised less than 10 miles from where I live right now. I'm a white dude, a southern dude, I own a gun, I have a job, I vote,  I drink beer, I fish, I pay my taxes, I grew up raising hell and listening to the Allman brothers ....
But the flag-waving Uber-patriots still come at me foaming at the mouth and telling me I'm not American enough, not straight enough, not man enough to be part of what they think belongs in "their America." Literally happened completely unprovoked about 10 minutes ago.
Now, if these crazy jackasses come at me??? - when I have a redneck pedigree that goes back to the Civil War.... how much more are they gonna try to persecute people that aren't like me? I'm literally everything they say they want, except I won't vote for institutionalized racism and a war on women and queer folk.
Screw them!
Persecuting people and hating people is no way to go through life. Miss me with all that
I'll be hanging with the womens and the queers and every color that the Good Lord made us in. And we will be looking better and eating better and having hell a lot more fun.
Bet on that.

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. I’ll 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.

@lady_valor_07 Many restaurants make the wait staff tip out bartenders, hostesses, and the bus boys, at least 15% of their expected tips at the end of the night, even if they didn’t get that much. So by not tipping 15-20%, they are paying out of pocket to serve you.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

This is a crushing blow to our democracy.

We cannot stand by as Trump's extreme SCOTUS eviscerates protections against voter suppression that heroes like Dr. King and John Lewis marched for.

We need to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Now.

@Michaeljos92972 Grief is the price of great love. It’s a reminder of the love you share. Your loss is huge, because love is stronger than death. Hugs.

@Zeke_Cohen Peace to you and your family.

Also, there are no white people in the Bible.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

Today is the one year anniversary of the Trump Administration gutting the Department of Education.

I joined @maziehirono to let our students and teachers know that we will always fight for you, even if President Trump abandons you.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

Absolutely infuriating.

The Iranian missile that Hegseth downplayed as a "squirter getting through" killed six Americans and left dozens with traumatic brain injuries, burns and shrapnel in their bodies.

The true cost of war is so much more than a billion dollars a day. It's paid for in the blood and sacrifices of our troops—who still don't know what the mission is, when it will end or whether their wounds are justified.

We need to put this Administration under oath in a public hearing. Immediately.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

All Democrats are asking is for ICE and CBP to play by the same rules that your local police officer does.

Senate Republicans would rather keep DHS shutdown.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

As many as 140 servicemembers injured. 7 killed. Thousands of Americans stranded in the region with a target on their backs and no escape.

All for a war that a draft dodger cannot even articulate a coherent and consistent justification for.

How. Is. This. America. First.
