@nerdist I cannot see that tv/vcr unit without flashing back to my grade 5 class watching the Challenger Shuttle take off... and then explode.
We were so confused & my teacher so flustered, trying to process what we’d all just witnessed.
Those two memories tied together forever...
Senate Democrats MUST pass a sweeping voting rights bill if our democracy is to survive. If that means gutting the 60-vote “Jim Crow” filibuster, so be it.

I grew up a hunter and served as an Army Ranger.
I didn’t take my deer hunting rifle to Afghanistan, nor did I take my assault rifle deer hunting.
Don’t be fooled by the gun lobby. The type of gun matters.
Weapons of war have no place in our communities.
Secretary Haaland sure does have a nice ring to it.
Congratulations to my friend @RepDebHaaland on your historic confirmation. I look forward to continuing to work with you to preserve our public lands. #DebForInterior
Does @VP know there is a (potentially) historic blizzard bearing down on us in Denver this weekend and she should probably find another stop? Love to see her, but next week probably not the best time.

@SecondGentleman will be with her.
“I gotta say, Orlando is awesome. It’s not as nice as Cancun...” says Ted Cruz, joking about that time he abandoned his state so that he could stay at the Ritz Carlton while a number of Texans froze to death.
@RepJasonCrow I was psyched to vote for you over Coffman, just to get a Dem over him. But the more I learn about you, the more proud I become that you represent us.
How come @BetoORourke and @AOC work to raise money for struggling Texans, many of whom didn't vote for Beto and think AOC is a she-witch, doesn't count as a UNITY story?
How come the media isn't spinning it that way? How come "unity" can only mean "giving the GOP what it wants"?
Want to know what would help our frontline and service industry workers?
Including a provision to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour in the COVID-19 relief bill.
Tonight's vote was about who we want to be as a country.
I refuse to stand by and allow hateful, violent rhetoric, and lies to poison our democracy.
Words matter.
Unity and reconciliation require truth and accountability.
