While our eyes are focused on the #ChauvinTrial, new deaths race to fill up our vision + break our hearts. Unarmed children are not men. Their deaths are never justifiable. And a traffic stop should not be fatal. God grant us mercy until the law gives us justice.

⁦@benandjerrys⁩ for the win!! This is truth. This is courage. This is vision.

Poverty-level wages cost U.S. taxpayers $152.8 billion a year in public support for working families. So it's only logical to raise taxes on big companies that give their workers poverty-level wages, to pay for this subsidy.

Seems like the biggest story today should be the fact that every House Republican just voted against $1,400 stimulus checks, funding to reopen schools, and unemployment benefits, legislation that 76% of Americans support.

If progressive movement does our job over the next two years, this will be the dominant dynamic.

We put popular, transformative bills on the table.

We get Schumer & Pelosi to bring them to a vote.

Then Biden will sign them.

This is how we govern.

This is how WE govern.

In 1923, Adolf Hitler led a failed coup. He was treated leniently. Germany moved on.
A decade later, he was dictator, and the worst disaster in the history of the civilized world ensued.
In 2021, when the president of the United States leads a failed coup, we must not move on.

“Give the people power to build community and bring the world closer together” is Facebook’s mission statement.

Nailed it, Mark. Congrats on what you’ve built.

This is the America that Fox News, Facebook, and most Republicans in Congress have brought us

Georgia: the world is watching and the future is ours to decide. Quality affordable health care, jobs, justice and recovery from Covid-19 are on the ballot. Commit to voting for @ReverendWarnock and @ossoff tomorrow: https://t.co/lClnYYPro6. 🗳

This is why we have to say:

Jeff Bezos net worth in 2009: $6,800,000,000
Jeff Bezos net worth in 2020: $183,800,000,000

Federal minimum wage in 2009: $7.25
Federal minimum wage in 2020: $7.25

If this doesn't convince you our economy is rigged, I don't know what will.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

This is unacceptable.

This pandemic is surging, and soon many of the critical protections Americans have been relying on will expire—emergency unemployment assistance, the eviction moratorium, student loan forbearance, and more.

Mitch McConnell needs to act now.

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

2 died of Ebola: They said Obama should resign.

4 died in Benghazi: They had Hillary testify for 11 hours, held 33 hearings, and launched a multiyear probe.

248,585 died thanks to Trump’s malevolence: They cheer him on, and deny the reality that he lost to Biden by a landslide.

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

Facebook is such a terribly destructive force in American life, because that is apparently what Mark Zuckerberg wants

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

The first one-term president in thirty years, and the only one to lose the popular vote twice.

Congrats on making history, @realDonaldTrump.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Turns out this was a pretty brilliant pitch!

Life lesson: always listen to @staceyabrams about everything.
