Headed for Earth-Sun Lagrangian Point “L2” a million miles away.
Congratulations to @NASA, thousands of engineers & my fellow scientists.
Evidence that exploration remains alive in the human spirit.
If we want to give our children and grandchildren a brighter future, the wealthiest Americans and large corporations must pay their fair share in taxes. https://t.co/zqlZr6UpLe
John Lewis and C.T. Vivian loved this country so much that they risked their lives so that it might live up to its promise. They gave all of themselves to the cause of freedom and justice, and inspired generations to follow their example. Now it’s up to us to continue the work.
In the wake of the SCOTUS ruling further weakening the Voting Rights Act, take a look at how one Republican in Michigan was subjected to harsh attacks from within his own party for simply acknowledging the validity of the election results in his state.

CURRENT 🔥WILDFIRE 🔥RISK: It’s old school science that works! Fuel moisture sampling has been used around the country for decades. At CAL FIRE CZU, we use it to monitor the current fire risk within San Mateo and Santa Cruz Counties. 🔻🔻🔻#CaWx
Uber avoided taxes on $6B in revenue by setting up 50 shell companies in the Netherlands.
Don't believe it for a second when these corporations claim they can't afford to pay workers a living wage.
Republicans passed & signed #SB202 to signal their capitulation to lies over truth. To fear over fairness. To suppression over participation. But we will not be defeated by their worst actions & instincts. We will spread the word, we will sue & we will win. For democracy. #gapol
GOP legislators gave themselves the right to takeover local elections & throw out results - what they tried and failed to do in MI. They raised costs for taxpayers and forbid counties from accepting funds to cover the bill. They criminalize free water & food for those in line. 3/
Georgia Republicans want to hide their shameful actions from public scrutiny. It’s Jim Crow in a suit + tie: cutting off access, adding restrictions, encouraging more “show me your papers” actions to challenge a citizen’s right to vote. Facially neutral but racially targeted. 2/
McConnell says impeachment is unconstitutional because Trump is no longer in office. But Mitch was the one who delayed the trial.
He said he had no time. But he got Amy Barrett’s nomination from Senate floor to confirmation in 4 days.
McConnell's hypocrisy is simply grotesque.
Today, 15 Republican Senators chose not to attend Trump's trial. They should be held in contempt of Congress.
Jurors in criminal trials cannot get up and leave the courtroom. If they did, they'd be held in contempt of court, and face possible fines and jail.

When I took office three weeks ago, America didn’t have a plan or enough supplies to vaccinate most of the country. But my team got right to work, and as of today, we’ve increased weekly vaccine shipments by nearly 30% and purchased enough vaccines to vaccinate all Americans.
