@MichelleObama @people @BarackObama Please ignore the haters. Your opening speech and Barak‘s were like a glass of iced lemonade on a scorching hot summer day. Thank you for being you. 💕

@thejackhopkins Definitely should have been the last we heard from him.

@MacFarlaneNews This list is overwhelming. Thanks for fighting for all of us.

Big Money Mike Rounds failed to disclose between $1-$5 MILLION in stock trades (apparently he can’t settle on an exact number).

We need to ban members of Congress from trading stocks now.

@GinnyMonk @highbrow_nobrow Congratulations! We appreciate great journalists like you.

I wore the uniform for over 26 years, but it shouldn’t take that experience to make a Senator demand accountability and transparency from the Pentagon on the Iran war. Mike Rounds has all but excused himself from the conversation on what the hell the plan is to bring American servicemembers home, secure peace, and restore global commerce.

[Brian Bengs @BrianBengs]

Teddy Roosevelt told Americans we must treat our natural resources as assets, and I agree. This week, Mike Rounds and other senators betrayed the American people by voting to hand over public lands to a foreign mining company. We need leaders in Washington who have the backbone to say no, and to put America ahead of special interests.

If you make less than $55,000 a year, the tax bill Mike Rounds supported gave bigger tax breaks to foreign investors than you.

Tax write offs for yachts and private jets, but no money to give a real break to middle class working families.

[Brian Bengs @BrianBengs]

Thanks to Mike Rounds’ votes, South Dakota’s rural hospitals that rely on Medicaid funding will face cuts, meaning patients will have higher premiums, more medical debt, and reduced access to care. When I’m Senator, I’ll protect rural hospitals and access to care.

[Brian Bengs @BrianBengs]

Health care for working families: too expensive.

Tax breaks for the ultra-rich: no problem.

That’s Mike Rounds’ voting record.

[Diane Wimp @DianeWimp]

@NewsHour You both are missing the point of these marches. We the people are tired of not being represented by our representatives. You just keep saying all Democrats have is anger and no message, but you are overlooking the real people in these marches who are united across party lines.

TWEEPS: $200 billion for war.

Meanwhile, millions of Americans are struggling to afford healthcare. These are choices. And they’re choosing wrong.

I need 1,000 fast RTs and replies using #FundHealthcareNotWar.

Please and thank you! 🙏💪

In 12 years in the Senate, Mike Rounds has let the national debt double.

The main driver of the national debt? Tax cuts for billionaires and large corporations.

Big Money Mike Rounds is saddling future generations of Americans with crushing debt so his ultra wealthy and well connected donors can skirt paying their fair share.

@AnnieAndrewsMD Best of luck to you!! My daughter matched today. Lindsey Graham is a dishonorable man who cannot hold a candle to someone with your career.

[Brian Bengs @BrianBengs]

If you want a Senator whose answer to your question of: “Why is now the right time to go to war with Iran”?

ISN’T: “I don’t know if there’s ever a right time”

Then send me to Washington and I’ll give South Dakotans real answers instead of shoulder shrugs when I’m asked the tough questions.

[Brian Bengs @BrianBengs]

I’m out at the Sioux Falls Sportsmen’s Show today, talking with folks who like me, value protecting our 2A rights and our lands.

If you want to help get me on the ballot this November, sign my petition and let’s get a voice for South Dakota who isn’t controlled by either party to Washington.

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Last year, when the U.S. administration terminated the first-ever National Nature Assessment, the team behind it refused to let the work disappear.
Director Phil Levin and the entire author team — all volunteers — reorganized, built a new secretariat and advisory committee, spent months persuading foundations to fund the effort, then got back to work.
This week, the result is here! The new Nature Record has just been submitted to the National Academy of Sciences for formal review -- and it's been opened for public comment, so you can read it too: https://t.co/uZodPAiTns
The report meticulously documents the many ways humans have degraded nature — on land, in lakes and rivers, in coastal wetlands, and in the ocean.
But what I love most is that the report starts with a “Bright Spots” chapter. It highlights real-life successes, the conditions that helped them happen, and how treating each other with greater equity and justice can also benefit nature.
Why does this chapter matter so much? Because social science research shows something important: while doom and gloom may get the most clicks and shares online, focusing only on the negative (without any positive information about solutions) can leave people feeling overwhelmed and powerless. When we pair the risks with information about solutions that work, people feel a greater sense of efficacy — and efficacy is what motivates us to act.
Not only that, but when it comes to nature, there are so many solutions that work (and the report talks about them, too!). Restoring ecosystems can strengthen food systems, improve our physical and mental health, protect communities from floods, storms, and heat, support biodiversity, and even help draw carbon out of the atmosphere.
Nature-based solutions are powerful. And the more we share stories of what’s working, the more we can build momentum for the work still ahead.

When everything is about party loyalty, nobody is accountable to the American people. South Dakotans want a voice that forces Washington to listen, and I’ll never sit on the sidelines as the two parties turn every problem into a political food fight.

@ZelenskyyUa Everyday Americans are fighting to get sanity back into positions of power because we know your people are suffering. Negotiating with dictators is never successful.
