@FlyFrontier: I just watched the gate agents shut the flight door on 30 people, who were all in line prior to the 15min mark, citing: "We have to close the door. No matter what." Even if there are passengers waiting in line to board? If this is @FlyFrontier policy: never again.

I live in Iowa, so I do worry about that every morning.
We don't need Russia's oil and gas. What we need is American-made clean energy. That is why I have introduced a bill to end Russian oil imports, confront the climate crisis, and cut off Putin from billions of American dollars.
As the sun sets on Des Moines tonight, the usual oranges, reds and pinks will be accented with blue and yellow on several Des Moines bridges in a show of support for Ukraine.

People can be mad at Manchin all they want, but we knew he would do this months ago.

Would the world look closely at Hong Kong's sham election today, and think of the real candidates who were thrown in jail for almost one year now. We must fight back by boycotting it, or cast a blank protest vote. (Beware of arbitrary arrests when retweet)
@iocmedia: please do more. The @wta's strong stance to demand freedom for Peng Shuai makes me proud to be a fan of tennis. #WhereIsPengShuai And where is the @atptour on this?

Though we strobed
That we came in peace,
He was already at war.
We have battled hard to be.

A people,
A peace,
A promise,
Be ours.
Be right
& radiant
& real.
