Governor Cooper's right: The extreme pro-gun lobby "would rather keep you scared than safe."

[Roy Cooper @RoyCooperNC]

You can't be tough on crime when you're soft on gun safety.

Today, Congressman Ted Budd is campaigning with Ted Cruz, one of the most extreme members of the Republican Party.

If elected, Budd and Cruz will work together to lead a nationwide ban on abortion, strip away our rights, and take us backwards.

We all bear responsibility for the lack of #gunsense laws in this country. As Americans, we've created this problem and only we can fix it. #Raleigh https://t.co/PC8YE2qnYt

@LeighTauss @LindsayKelleyS Unfortunately, with 531 shootings in the U.S. *so far* this year, this is definitely who we are. We all bear responsibility for the lack of #gunsense laws in this country. As Americans, we've created this problem and only we can fix it. https://t.co/ehHddidMNC

@LindsayKelleyS This happens everywhere in the United States.

Every country should be able to identify any new suspected outbreak within 7 days of emergence, start to investigate the event, begin response and report it within 1 day, and mount an effective response within 7 days. This “7-1-7” strategy can help prevent the next pandemic.

Let me be clear: as a champion for voting rights, I am calling on Congress to scrap the filibuster and pass the For The People Act immediately. Nobody should play political games when our right to the ballot is at stake.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Folks, Wall Street didn’t build this country — the great middle class built this country. And unions built the middle class.

[Jeremy Faust MD MS (ER physician) @jeremyfaust]

That’s my third straight shift without a single Covid patient.

I ❤️ vaccines.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

The United States is the only industrialized country in the world with no national paid family leave policy. It’s a disgrace.

We must pass the American Families Plan.

[Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II @RevDrBarber]

The answer is, you don’t. You pass what is right & just. Manchin keeps saying, if you do it w/o Republican support it is a bad bill. That’s like saying, if you pass a bill against racism w/o a racist voting for it, it’s a bad bill. Ridiculous.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

The prior administration failed.

So the Biden administration must act.

Issue the Afghan Special Immigrant Visas expeditiously.

No one left behind.
