There are so many quiet, unsung heroes in American daily life, but at the top of the list must be nurses and teachers. They exemplify the best of #WhatUnitesUs.

The @USPS is an essential service that employs nearly half a million Americans & ensures that people have access to medications, mail-in ballots, & other critical mail. That’s why I joined 130 of my colleagues to urge strong support for the USPS in any upcoming relief bills.
