[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

We have been sounding the alarm about this for a long time.

Some may want to go after the messenger, but we simply cannot make promises, hector people to vote, and then refuse to use our full power when they do.

We still have time to fix this and act. But we need to be brave.

A security guard tailed me on my walk home tonight. He demanded if I lived there because “you look suspicious.” I showed my keys & buzzed myself into my building. He left, no apology. This is the reality of black girls: One day you’re called an icon, the next day, a threat.

[Scott Dworkin @funder]

The gleeful thumbs down from Senator Sinema on the minimum wage vote was such an obscene Republican response.

[DeminNJ @NjDemin]

The fact that @kyrstensinema Betty Booped to reject a living wage is exactly why people are apathetic about politics. Such disdain for so many struggling Americans and she tries to be cute about it.

[Goodable @Goodable]

Norway has universal healthcare.

You how people say universal healthcare doesn't work?

This is what their hospitals look like.

[DeminNJ @NjDemin]

@kyrstensinema You voted to keep Americans poor starving in the middle of a pandemic. #RaiseTheWageSinema

Does anyone else see a problem with this picture?

[Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta @malcolmkenyatta]

Republicans forced the Senate clerk to read a 600+ page bill to slow down the delivery of vital relief to working families and then walked out.

A disrespect for working people is a feature, not a bug with these people.

A $15 minimum wage was already a compromise. Now some Democrats are blocking it.

$1400 survival checks was already a compromise. Now some Democrats have taken them away from 17M people.

We have the House, Senate, and White House. Blocking more help for people is unjustifiable.

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

Elections have consequences and one of the consequences of this last election is that we are about to cut child poverty in half, and make the single biggest one-time investment in native communities in American history.

@NBCPolitics @CNBC Good.

@cmclymer I gave up soda for my 2020 New Years resolution- 1st one I’ve ever kept. The key is to start using a haughty tone of voice while telling everyone “Oh no! I don’t drink soda.”

[Forky @forkyleft]

I don't think some people understand how much a billion is. If you made a million dollars a year you would have to work for one thousand years to get 1 billion. There's literally people with 100 billion. No one needs that much money.

[DeminNJ @NjDemin]

@laurenthehough My aunt in Ohio makes meatballs in the crockpot and throws in a jar of jelly and a jar of ketchup. Sounds gross but it’s actually really good.

[DeminNJ @NjDemin]

@marcorubio Look pretty easy for your Q friends to break in.

If your governor is telling you it's time to remove your mask, maybe it's time to remove you governor instead.

[Preet Bharara @PreetBharara]

If you post years of vile false divisive tweets you can be POTUS. But if you’re somewhat mean you can’t be OMB director. Ok.

[Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke]

A death warrant for Texans.

Add them to the 44,000+ killed as he failed to confront the pandemic & botched the vaccine rollout.

And those who froze to death because he cares more about energy companies’ profits than keeping Texans alive.

Abbott is killing the people of Texas.

@dataandpolitics We went to an extremely crowded restaurant and then to a concert.
