Unvaccinated Americans are helping propel the nation in “the wrong direction,” says Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Nationwide COVID cases have more than doubled over the past two weeks with the predominance of the delta variant.

Joe Biden is going to win. But what people of color have long understood should be clear to everyone now:

Donald Trump is not an aberration, he’s a mirror. And that ugliness we see in him is America’s.

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

God told the people of Israel during a pandemic to go inside. This isn’t about your rights or liberty, but basic love of neighbor. To place others at risk is a violation of the Gospel.

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

Houses of worship are not essential, but true worship is: “When I was hungry, did you feed me? When I was thirsty, did you give me a drink? When I was a stranger, did you invite me in? When I was naked, did you clothe me? When I was sick and in prison, did you visit me?”

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

Pastors who are willing to sue to open churches & lead members back into lethal situations violate the fundamental call of Jesus to love & protect our brother & sister.

It’s sad they can’t find a way to be church outside a building.

We’ve seen Susan Rice’s memo. We’ve seen the list of requested unmaskings by Obama officials.
Now could we see the transcripts of all the Kislyak-Flynn calls?

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Trump and McConnell continue to stack our courts with unqualified, inexperienced right-wing judges who will make decisions on everything from the ACA to worker's rights.

The future of our courts is on the ballot in November.

In case you missed it, the CARES Act delivered a $160 billion windfall to real estate investors (i.e. Kushner), after a major lobbying push by a real estate trade group, in which Kushner’s family's company is a major player.

We must not become desensitized to this corruption.

[Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings]

90,000 Americans have died. 33 million out of work. Yet President Trump can’t see past his vendetta against President Obama—like Captain Ahab, unable to look past his white whale as the ship is smashed to splinters around him. He has never been able to put the country first.

[Don Mooney @DonMooneyJr]

Some wacko in DC promised this was a "hoax" and would allow go away by April. Instead nearly 100,000 are dead, all the jobs created since 2008 are gone, and people are still dying.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

He’s spinning out of control because he’s going to lose. VOTE.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

During today’s Senate Banking Committee hearing, Secretary @StevenMnuchin1 refused to require corporations benefiting from $500 billion in CARES Act funds to keep workers on their payrolls. @EWarren asked him several times, each time he ducked and refused.

Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old black woman who was a certified EMT, was fatally shot in her apartment after Kentucky police entered while she slept, allegedly using a warrant for a man who was already detained by police when officers arrived. https://t.co/4TaF14VxXV

Tomorrow we will know our fate. I am proud of the work we've done to get us this far. It took bus riders being fed up to finally get action. I appreciate what @Jedwarddunn and @GeorgeHVincent did to set us up for success. The metro futures task force laid out the problem..

President Trump is finally airing publicly the complaints about Dr. Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert who has served six presidents, that officials say he's been airing privately for weeks.

Why now? Officials are pointing to a few factors. https://t.co/fjKgE6cj2m

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

- More than 60,000 people in the U.S. have died
- 30 million have filed for unemployment
- At least 1 million have gotten sick

Enough with the late night Twitter tantrums, Mr. President. It's time for you to step up and lead.
