Also I'm just so sick of Mexico being conveniently seen as exotic, fun, warm, escapist when it's convenient, but filled with "undesirables" and criminals and poverty and violence when it's not. Ya can't have it both ways! Work to protect and uplift it so we can all enjoy!
The fact that they were okay with traveling at all to Mexico? Y’all we’re in a panoramic and not to mention, Texas is freezing people to literal death. Ted Cruz sucks and so do government officials who don’t fight for what the people want. Also Ted cruz sucks
While I think it's important to focus on those in need at this time, I also think it's important our leadership is held accountable. This is so frustrating.
When I came to Congress, I knew I had a responsibility to pull back the curtain for the American people and expose corruption in real time. So, I’m filling you in on Senator McConnell’s attempts over the last 8 days to tank a *bipartisan* COVID relief bill. (THREAD)
Hey the governor of Florida literally sent heavily armed cops to the house of a scientist yesterday who was whistleblowing on Covid numbers, took her computer and pointed guns at her children. I feel like this should be a much bigger story.
THREAD: I just spent 3 days with frontline workers at hospitals in a part of Appalachia where hospitalizations have more than doubled in the last month. But hospital staff say many in their hard-hit communities still don’t believe COVID is real. Misinformation is rampant.
You know in the House, when we don’t have the votes to pass something, we work on the bill until we pick up the votes to pass it. That includes GOP votes - & yes, GOP have voted for my leg too.
The Senate should try it sometime! People are going hungry as you tweet from vacay.
COVID-19 is still very much real. The current president is an absolute moron to tell Americans to not be afraid, on top of all the other moronic things he has said about anything. Come 11/3, vote him out.
As the covid story now coalesces around the president, I think it's important to remember how catastrophic this virus has been for American families. When Freeman-Brooks told me this story in May, there were so many stories like this that we didn't publish it. It was that common.
LeBron James is offering free rides to ballot boxes in Texas now the Gov. Abbott has eliminated all but one per county. Abbott is an as$hole, LeBron is a hero.
