A loud bang of gun shots, then “Get down, get down, get down!”
I hit the floor at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner mid conversation with Jamie @RepRaskin, who heroically protected me, whispering, “You’re ok, you’re ok, you’re ok,” while my host from the @BostonGlobe laid on the ground while furiously taking notes, and thousands of journalists, photographers, and editors took cover under tables and beneath chairs.
Then the doors burst open, and scores of Secret Service agents rushed into the room, many with hands on holsters.
They rushed for cabinet secretaries and pulled them to safety.
Then security started yelling, “Go, go, go,” demanding that we leave.
It was terrifying. But I am still grateful to the brave Secret Service, to my friends at the @BostonGlobe, and most especially to Jamie @RepRaskin.
Workers fight for MONEY so we can have the POWER to demand the RESPECT we deserve!
They want us broke, stressed out, and distracted. We want food on our table, and some free time to relax.
But collective action comes first. Join us. #MoreThanMayDay
Ivanka Trump’s attempt to rebrand herself as some sort of live, laugh, love upper-millennial influencer is genuinely wild. Babe, we all remember ~exactly~ who you are and what you enabled.
Does Rapert have a woman problem? If I say so myself - but I am a woman - this is a good read. Get your popcorn and soft drinks out for the next library board meeting and Rapert's next performance. https://t.co/5VEh8AEz2V
The major cable news networks all carried Trump's weird, deranged, fake press conference live. But not a single one carried the historic Kamala Harris and Tim Walz rally in Arizona. It's okay, we'll happily take their viewers. https://t.co/UzNgd3bUvh
Today, I’m announcing my run to be Michigan’s next U.S. Senator.
We need a new generation of leaders that thinks differently, works harder, and never forgets that we are *public servants*
Dude, you don’t even use your real 1st name! And you don’t use it for ONE REASON…everyone knows it, but is afraid2say it out loud—you don’t use Piyush because it’s an Indian name. Same reason Nikki Haley doesn’t use her real first name, Nimarata. That’s the state of the GOP.
@TomCottonAR@JDVance For conservatives like Cotton, decorum and respect for service and country apply to other people, not to them. Everything is a means to an end, right down to fabricating a service record.

🚨 BREAKING: Tim Walz just STOPPED his speech to ensure that a person who fainted from heat got the help they needed.
"It's about caring for our neighbor, that's who we are."
If you aren't angry, embarrassed, upset, etc at the comparison of how good the governor in MN is compared to ours, then you aren't paying attention.
Arkansas should not let SHS try and define who or what we are. Her conduct and values are not ours.
Arkansas deserves better.
