Well said, senator.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

I am a progressive Democrat.

But I'm friends with Republicans. I frequent businesses owned by Republicans. I root for sports teams full of Republicans.

I've devoted my life to politics, but I'm careful to not let my politics consume me.

Smart message from a talented leader:

"I am a proud capitalist and a proud Democrat"...but we should "make our capitalistic system more fair for everyone in this democracy."

[Stephanie Murphy @StephMurphyFL]

Today I'm launching an effort to listen to Democrats throughout Florida -- to help us regroup, refocus & reenergize. The Trump/Rubio party has left too many families behind. Together, we can put hardworking families first in Florida. JOIN US: https://t.co/EGVn4RioNE. #FlaPol

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

In much of SF, you can’t walk 20 feet without seeing a sign declaring that Black lives matter and no human being is illegal. Those signs sit in yards zoned for single families, in communities that organize against the new housing that would bring those values closer to reality.

[Joshua Lopez @joshualopezfl]

Marco Rubio voted to give away trillions to large corporations and the ultra-wealthy, but he won't support middle and working class families with children. Florida needs a senator with better priorities.

[Jeff Stein @jstein_sun]

!! GOP Sens. Rubio & Lee come out swinging against Romney child benefits plan:

"We do not support turning the Child Tax Credit into ... a ‘child allowance,’ paid out as a universal basic income"

"That is not tax relief for working parents; it is welfare assistance"

Today we commemorate the liberation of Auschwitz and mark Holocaust Remembrance Day. We must resolve to ensure we never see such atrocities as the Nazis inflicted on the Jews, Roma, LGBT people, and the disabled ever again.

It’s a new day in America.

"I believe we should do all we can and seek to lift ourselves by our own bootstraps but it’s a cruel jest to say to a bootless man that he ought to lift himself by his own bootstrap."

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Please don’t act like everyone loved my father. He was assassinated. A 1967 poll reflected that he was one of the most hated men in America. Most hated. Many who quote him now and evoke him to deter justice today would likely hate, and may already hate, the authentic King. #MLK

Economics has moved on from 20 years ago. A $15.00 minimum wage, like the one we passed here in Florida, is more good than bad for the economy.

[Joshua Lopez @joshualopezfl]

@FlaDems How about we focus on what we are for? We already know all three are terrible.

[Joshua Lopez @joshualopezfl]

I am shocked and saddened at the sudden passing of Mayor Coviello. My thoughts are with his family.

[Ayman @AymanM]

I took the liberty of editing the New York Times headline:

[Joshua Lopez @joshualopezfl]

Demand, not investment, is holding the economy back.

Merry Christmas to all!

[Dr. Janelle Christensen @JanelleAnthro]

Honest question: was Mr. Diaz involved in helping Democratic candidates in Miami-Dade in 2020?

[Dr. Janelle Christensen @JanelleAnthro]

Cool! I like the 67 county strategy! That is what the Democratic Envioronmental Caucus of Florida did in 2020. We tried to fill the gaps, even in red districts. We recruited 33 candidates to run for the state legislature.

Looks like Cruz's China-baiting and concern for the democracy activists in Hong Kong is purely performative.
