One of Colorado’s most powerful Republican leaders, Wayne Williams, conceded to Independent Yemi Mobolade last night.

Williams quickly ditched his party to congratulate Mobolade on being elected as the first black Mayor in #ColoradoSprings #copolitics ⁦@KRDONC13⁩

Yep. Sounds like a “simple proposition” to me as well. Kudos to @davidcicilline for calling out Gaetz.

BRAVO to @davidcicilline for calling Matt Gaetz on his performative Pledge of Allegiance amendment.

Check out the extra stupid look on Gaetz's mug when Rep. Cicilline calls his bluff.

On this day in 1960, four black college students staged a sit-in at a whites-only lunch counter at Woolworth's in Greensboro, NC.

They sparked a national movement across the country. Instructions were simple: sit quietly and wait to be served. #BlackHistoryMonth

Simplest and best tribute to exemplify the Barbara Walters legacy :

On her final show on The View, they just brought one female journalist after another to honour her. All ages, races, from NBC to FOX, to say thank you. She’s completely overwhelmed and touched.

New Zealand's Jacinda Ardern and Finland's Sanna Marin quickly shot down a reporter who asked if their similar age and gender was the reason for their official meeting. https://t.co/HgBhR3g9tg
