We hate to do it, but we’re postponing our Summer Celebration event scheduled for today, July 15th, due to awful air quality. We hope to reschedule the event soon, and that this decision sets a precedent for others.

I have a bill that prohibits LE from associating and affiliating with violent extremist hate groups. One section of the law expressly prohibits the suppression of voting based on protected class status.

🐘#mnleg members had concerns about that section…🤔 https://t.co/Sa6UQwZ8ed

Today should have been the 50th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Instead, extremist so-called leaders have taken away a woman’s fundamental freedom to make decisions about her own body.

This afternoon, I’m speaking in Tallahassee, Florida about our fight ahead.

For those who find connection from it. Deep eye contact is so intimate and restful. One of my favorite ways to connect. 👀

The historic Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act will create millions of good-paying jobs throughout America.

Democrats Deliver.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

The price of Insulin is now capped at $35 per month for millions of Americans.

Democrats did that.

For. The. People.

A vision I’ve been working on for 3yrs has manifested. My foundation, TruthSpeaks Innovation Foundation, has established a 3 year Executive Leadership program at @Harvard focused on “Power, Innovation & Leadership.” The first cohort of 25 women starts this week. I’m so excited.

Not enough character space to fully express what I think. But to quote my boss, my Dad: they get the money and we get left w/ the misery and pain.

As we all celebrate, reminder that we wouldn’t have Senator Warnock now or the last two years if it wasn’t for @staceyabrams and the Black women organizers in our state who continue to save this damn country time and again while facing rampant racism, ableism, and misogyny.

[Robert Brown @truthtold8]

The Warnock-Walker race results are like a Green book of places to avoid in Georgia.

[Wanda Sykes @iamwandasykes]

I bet they asked Herschel Walker if he was ready to make his concession speech, and he said, “Yes, two hot dogs please.”

Congratulations @ReverendWarnock
Thank you GA!🙌🏾
