Retweet if you agree the media owes President Biden and the U.S. military an apology for their doomsday reporting on what has turned out to be a very successful evacuation of Americans and our Afghan allies from Kabul.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

We are working around the clock to evacuate Americans and Afghan allies—including translators, interpreters, Afghan women leaders, and journalists.

JOURNALISM 101 RULE: If someone says it’s raining, and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out of the fucking window and find out which is true. — Now more than ever.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Just an unfriendly reminder:

Every single House Republican voted against protecting the right to vote.

Every. Single. Republican.

Don’t let them forget it.

Exercise your freedom to live without fear. Get vaccinated.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

In his ruling overturning California’s landmark assault weapons ban, the judge likened an AR-15 to a “Swiss army knife."

That is an insult to all families and communities torn apart by gun violence and those who have lost loved ones.

It must not be allowed to stand.

People who actually want to reopen America will continue to wear masks.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

I’m proud to announce that three weeks from today, 90% of adults will be eligible to get vaccinated — and 90% of Americans will live within 5 miles of a place to get a shot.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Republicans know that H.R. 1 is widely popular, even with conservatives.

So McConnell is arranging private meetings with the Koch Brothers to figure out how to kill the bill.

... Exactly the kind of dark money influence and lack of accountability that H.R. 1 will root out.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

We can’t be silent in the face of rising violence against Asian Americans. That’s why today I’m taking additional steps to respond–including establishing an initiative at the Department of Justice to address anti-Asian crimes.

These attacks are wrong, un-American, and must stop.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

A vote against the For The People Act is a vote against the rights of Black and Brown voters. Period.

If made into law, it would expand:

👉Early voting
👉Automatic voter registration
👉Vote by mail

And finally make Election Day a federal holiday.

RT if you want it passed.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Before I took office, I set a big goal of 100 million shots in my first 100 days.

We hit the goal on day 58.

Now, I’m setting a new one: 200 million shots in my first 100 days.

Let’s do this.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

I’ve been hired to solve problems, not create divisions.

If you make it a crime to give voters water as they wait in line, you're not pro-democracy.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

After losing Georgia, the GOP wasted no time.

Working so hard to suppress the vote, they made it a crime to give water to a voter waiting in line.

And it's not just Georgia, with 250+ voter suppression bills nationwide.

If they bring back Jim Crow, our democracy can't succeed.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Writing and passing the Violence Against Women Act is one of the accomplishments of which I’m most proud. While we have made significant progress, there is still much work to do. I’m grateful the House voted to strengthen and renew the law — and I urge the Senate to do the same.

Over the last year, at least 526,000 Americans have died of COVID-19.

22 million jobs have been lost.

75% of Americans support the American Rescue Plan to give families relief and repair our economy.

This week, 0 House Republicans voted for it.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

America's children have never known life without fear of school shootings.

But we are not powerless to address gun violence.

That’s why I voted YES to expand federal background check requirements.

The Senate must pass these commonsense bills. Our children deserve nothing less.
