Female Red Sox fan in Yankee country; still haven't figured out what I want to be when I grow up

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

The AI moment means we have to step up.

We can't wait a few more years to see how many people get laid off, how many lives get turned upside down.

This is the moment for Congress to take action.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I was never in my life paid by a foreign government. Never. Meanwhile Jared Kushner is being paid tens and tens of millions of dollars directly from Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar. He has taken in over $6B into his fund all while he acts as the chief US negotiator for the war in Iran with those very same countries. If you want to know who someone is working for look WH they are being paid by. I was never paid a cent from a foreign government and when my Dad was President I did ZERO business outside painting and I never made more than $225k in a year from the sale of my paintings.

If there was any doubt before, there can be none after this week: The Supreme Court is going to give states free rein to discriminate against minority voters — even in some of the most egregious cases. https://t.co/aEqyznpFc0

[Mary L Trump @MaryLTrump]

Donald had a temper tantrum on national television and walked out of an interview simply because Kristen Welker presented him with a basic fact.

Note to other journalists: now is the time to pile on. He won't be able to handle it.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

Trump is too emotional to be president

[Pramila Jayapal @PramilaJayapal]

I am tired of being told to be patient.

Patient while people skip prescriptions. Patient while families go bankrupt from medical bills.

Patient while the insurance industry writes the rules that govern our lives.

Patient is what they want us to be. Compliance is what they're hoping for.
I refuse.

Health care is a human right and we will not stop fighting until every single person in this country has it. We will pass Medicare For All. Full stop. 💜

[Scott MacFarlane @MacFarlaneNews]

NEW: Virginia political organizer and a military vet file federal suit, seeking court order to HALT the UFC fight at White House:

"This plan is deeply corrupt.. President is giving (Dana) White & his company what none have enjoyed before: unfettered access to the White House.. to stage a private, for-profit sports event"

(MORE)

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

100 days of Trump’s illegal war. 

8 times Senate Democrats have given Republicans a chance to end this illegal war.

How much longer do prices have to rise and families of service members have to wait for Republican Senators to grow a spine?

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Trump's only support for his delusions is "because I say it's so." And Americans are starting to wake up to the lies.

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

Donald Trump and the GOP are trying to steal, suppress and gerrymander to stay in power. Elias Law Group has 83 active voting and election cases in 42 states. We will not stop fighting. We will not stop winning. ⚖️ 💪🗳️

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

This is Day 100 of the reckless war of choice in Iran.

It’s time for the Republican-controlled Senate to move our war powers resolution.

So we can end this costly conflict immediately.

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

someone did a photographic study of how the presidency aged Eisenhower in just a few years. it is said that as early as D-Day, for which he held himself totally responsible, he was already stricken with guilt & grief over servicemen's deaths; & the great effort was yet to come.
so badly we need leaders who can feel--by which I mean "feel" strongly, emotionally, empathetically; who truly care about the consequences of their decisions & ponder them seriously. somehow the US made a tragic decision to elect/ re-elect an individual who gloats in self-aggrandizement, shows no sympathy for others & has never once accepted responsibility for anything that he has done wrong or caused to go wrong including his many personal bankruptcies. starting a war, killing people--a sort of joke to him.
good that Eisenhower could never know what the US presidency would become in the 21st century.

[Jake Justice @jakecobb]

Keep posting this so nobody forgets that this was one of the worst events in American history.

Never has a sitting president encouraged his supporters to believe a lie so deeply that they’d be willing to attack or democracy.

[Dr. Catharine Young @DrCatharineY]

A reminder that pasteurization is the process that gently heats milk for….checks notes…15 seconds to…checks notes again…kill pathogens while retaining nutritional value and flavor.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @DAGToddBlanche: You don’t get to decide to “move on” from the Epstein Files or from following the congressional law. That decision can only be made by the American people and Congress.

You will be disbarred. The files will eventually be released.

November is coming.

[Mark Greene @RemakingManhood]

I remember the year in New York City before the vaccine arrived. We were burying people in mass graves on Hart Island. Once the vaccine arrived, that stopped.

[Covie @covie_93]

Susan Collins is one of the main reasons why a girl born today will have fewer reproductive rights than her grandmother.

[Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @SenatorWarnock]

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is the crown jewel of the Civil Rights Movement.

People literally died fighting for it.

Trump's Supreme Court is playing with the blood of our ancestors.

[Jon “Bowzer” Bauman @JonBowzerBauman]

Correct. Totally corrupt.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Netanyahu knows Americans are sick of funding Israel’s wars. So now he’s working with Congress to hide military aid inside Pentagon co-production deals.

That means MORE U.S. tax dollars for Israel, with even LESS oversight.

Not gonna happen!
