We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
Ken Paxton, a (gulp) US Senate candidate in Texas, home to a bevy of military bases, cannot get a security clearance to be on any Senate committee that requires a clearance...you know, the important ones.
A perfect GOP candidate... damaged beyond repair..
If I were to ever date a woman, I would ask her how she felt about Lindsay Clancy.
If there were even an attempt to rationalize or show support for her, that’s an automatic dealbreaker.
She killed her 3 children.
Gloria Steinem was a pioneer in the fight for women’s rights.
She opened the door for generations of women, fighting for abortion access, affordable childcare, fair wages and full gender equality.
She was a brave and heroic figure. She will be greatly missed.
The European Union has officially joined Operation Economic Outcast and we appreciate their strong and early stance. The United States stands firm with our allies in ensuring the murderous Iranian regime cannot exploit the global financial system to fund its nuclear ambitions, weapons programs, and terror proxies. The world is sending a clear message to the Iranian regime: We will not stop until every remaining financial lifeline has been severed.
Gloria Steinem taught America that sexism is a symptom of a system that can be changed.
From the fight for equal pay to abortion access and political representation, she showed that progress comes when people organize, build power and refuse to accept inequality as inevitable.
She staged protests, established domestic violence shelters, created a magazine owned and operated entirely by women and helped build a movement that fundamentally changed this country.
Her legacy is the millions of people she inspired to believe that a more just world was possible.
She lived in New York for 70 years. We were lucky to have her. We mourn her loss and will carry her work forward.
Gloria Steinem was a fearless trailblazer who transformed the fight for equality in America and inspired generations of women to know their power.
Her voice, courage and relentless advocacy helped break down barriers and open doors once firmly closed to women.
May it be a comfort to all of us who loved Gloria that her extraordinary legacy will live on in every generation that carries her fight forward.
I just met Jason and Keri on my walk across the state. They lost their food stamps bc of Trump’s cuts.
They are taking a bus back and forth to New Haven today for a meal from a soup kitchen there.
A 6 hour commute for a meal.
And Elon Musk just became a trillionaire.
You would think a majority party which would like to stay the majority party would spend their last 4 session weeks before November legislating on the issues Americans say matter to them, like making life more affordable for working families.
Has our leadership given up?
There’s no doubt that illegal immigration is a threat to our communities.
Yet Democrats stand with illegals over law-abiding citizens every chance they get.
No, Mr. Trump. The American people don’t want you to rename the Strait of Hormuz after yourself.
They want you to end your illegal war in Iran that has raised diesel prices to $5.69 a gallon & gas prices to $4.12 a gallon.
You’re the President, not a mad king. Act like it.
Do not be afraid to sow without immediately seeing the fruits. The sowing belongs to you; the growth belongs to God. No gesture carried out in the name of Christ is useless.
Donald Trump is making it more expensive to raise a family. Back-to-school prices are up 11% compared to last year:
Notebooks: +23%
Index cards: +22%
Lunchboxes: +27%
Sandwich bread: +22%
Apple juice: +20%
Animal crackers: +16%
FBI is aware of the shooting in Minneapolis involving law enforcement and our personnel are responding — we will offer any and all resources necessary to assist local authorities
We caught the BBC out misrepresenting the facts in order to smear my name, and therefore forced them to issue an official apology.
Let's see if they give their correction as much coverage as the original lie.
Will you be issuing an on-air public statement, @bbcnickrobinson?
House Democrats just confirmed that socialism and the communist playbook are on the ballot this November. 192 House Democrats voted against a resolution condemning socialism, communism, and the 100 million deaths those dangerous ideologies have wrought over time, while an additional 205 Democrats voted to pack the U.S. Supreme Court.
For members of Congress who swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution, condemning socialism and defending the integrity of the Supreme Court shouldn’t be a controversial vote. Sadly, for today’s Democrats, they are.
