@kimskitchensink I was worried Nova would wake up Elon (we're all in the same room) but since she was a newborn he slept through the night. We put the kids to bed about 30 min apart. First Nova. Elon gets time with us alone. Again, we're all in the same room. So there are other problems...
The American Rescue Plan is one of the most ambitious pieces of legislation in a generation.
It will materially help families in dire need. It will help end this pandemic. It will cut child poverty in half.
Lots more to do. But let’s celebrate this hard-fought progress.
How come @BetoORourke and @AOC work to raise money for struggling Texans, many of whom didn't vote for Beto and think AOC is a she-witch, doesn't count as a UNITY story?
How come the media isn't spinning it that way? How come "unity" can only mean "giving the GOP what it wants"?
I get it now. Ted and Heidi Cruz wanted their children to be safe, to have basic sanitary services like heat and running water, to leave behind a third-world apocalyptic nightmare for a safer place. Like so many parents before them, they decided to cross the Mexican border.
@swiftiejessie@jacindaardern They weren't a mob trying to overturn a legal election. I suppose she was busy saving her country from COVID. Where were you?
WHOA—The US Capitol siege today started at this exact moment — when the Capitol police were completely caught off guard when rioters stormed the fence and overran them. Where was the backup? Why wasn’t the National Guard pre-stationed there? So angry. 😡
@zefrank Is it? The president and his friends didn't get what they wanted and threw a big tantrum. They still don't get to get what they wanted. They're making a big mess and will have to clean up.
Today, domestic terrorists attacked a foundation of our democracy: the peaceful transfer of power following free elections.
We must reestablish the rule of law and hold them accountable.
Democracy is fragile. Our leaders must live up to their responsibility to protect it.
This is a time for honest leadership. This moment is a reminder of what qualities we need in a president—and what qualities are so sorely lacking in the one we have.
Ultimately, that’s what this election is about: Who do you trust to actually run this country?
