John Dingell was the Dean of the House. He earned that title — not just because he was there the longest — but because he led with great moral courage and vision. He was a friend and I will miss him terribly. Debbie is in my prayers.
"Maybe we should all just delete our accounts."
@JohnDingell was a Twitter superstar. In honor of him, we compiled some of his greatest tweets. https://t.co/fBMF9bLddX
This is one of the most fascinating episodes of The Daily to date. Highly recommend the listen.
(Also @maggieNYT and @peterbakernyt are so damn good at their jobs)
"We need genuine & deep respect for each & every human being, notwithstanding their thoughts, their values, their beliefs, their origins.
That's what my father demanded of his sons, & that's what he demanded of his country. He demanded this out of a sense of love." @JustinTrudeau
"He spoke to me in a friendly manner for a bit... at that point I understood that having opinions that are different from another does not preclude being deserving of respect as an individual.
Because simple tolerance, mere tolerance, is not enough."

"My father looked at me sternly...and said 'Justin, we never attack the individual. We can be in total disagreement with someone, without denigrating them as a consequence...' saying that, he stood up...brought me over to introduce me to this man."

"Breathe. And then? Push. Because if we don’t push we will die. If we don’t push our nation will die. Tonight we will breathe. Tomorrow we will labor in love through love and your revolutionary love is the magic we will show our children."

"When we see these bodies not as brothers and sisters then it becomes easier to bully them, to rape them, to allow policies that neglect them, that incarcerate them, that kill them. Yes, rabbi, the future is dark."

1st Congressional District candidate Matt Morgan introduced at #MDPConvention as “the man who is going to send (U.S. Rep.) Jack Bergman back to his home in Louisiana.”
Great article, @ryangrim. Happy to see some reporting on the importantce of field organizing for progressive candidates in rural districts.
Community organizing DOES still work in a 25k mile district. Crazy thought, huh!?!
How bad are things for Republicans? A Justice Democrat got 30,000 write-in votes in rural Michigan, enough to get on the general election ballot https://t.co/TMekZ3Qqsx
If you live in the 1st Congressional district in northern Michigan, please write in MATT MORGAN today in the Democratic primary. The Republicans in Lansing, long-time pros in voter suppression, disqualified the signatures on his petitions due to a technicality. Pls vote today!
Michael Avenatti to @TheLastWord: “I sincerely hope that we have not reached a place in this nation, and I don’t think this to be overstated… [that the president can] stand aboard Air Force One on audio and video and lie to the American people.”
When I was in Michigan recently I met up with Matt Morgan for coffee. He makes me proud and he’s a great American. I hope everyone like this gets the attention they need. Thank you @MorganforMI for stepping up. https://t.co/hKbgabkcXw
One last favor for me in 2017– help me get rid of the Trump-loving Republican who represents my Michigan district in Congress. We’ve got a progressive who can WIN. He needs your help. Even if it’s just $5 or $10. Help me end this year with hope for 2018. https://t.co/CqKopwrYzM
