May we appreciate, celebrate and elevate each other.
May we recognize all those people who do the noble work of making our communities safe, strong, and secure ... like sanitation workers do everywhere.

Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries just announced 5 working groups on bringing down the costs of housing, gas/utilities, groceries, caregiving, and health care. The legislation will be the Dems' first bill if they get the majority in November.
This is exactly what the GOP should be doing—and isn’t.
I see people online mocking this effort. They don’t think much of what the Democrats will come up with. The thing is, Americans are so broke, they won’t care.
They want to see that their financial struggle is a priority. And they just aren’t getting that from the Trump administration right now or from any Republican legislators.

Barney Frank was one of a kind. For more than three decades in Congress, he fought tirelessly for the people of Massachusetts, helped make housing more affordable, stood up for the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans, and helped pass one of the most sweeping financial reforms in history designed to protect consumers and prevent another financial crisis. Barney’s passion and wit were second to none, and our thoughts are with his family today.
Wherever you're at or whatever you're doing right now, just know if you're having a bad day it's OK. Rest, reset your soul, and get up and do something about it. We have to keep moving each day even when we don't want to, because if we don't, and we sit, we die. No matter how hard it gets, don't quit and keep busting your ass for whatever you want in my life. You're gonna have good times and bad, and the key is to keep your head up and keep moving forward and forget the past. #KeepSteppin
For more than 250 years, letter carriers have been there. Our history predates the founding of the nation we proudly serve. Through floods, pandemics, and more, on horseback and on foot, or by just about every mode of transportation imaginable, we have delivered for every home and business counting on us. That tradition is ours to carry forward, and we will.
