This first Sunday of ALS Awareness Month I want to take a moment to remember those we’ve lost to ALS.

The mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, grandparents, family and friends whose stories drive many of you to fight.

Share their name and something about them👇. #WeFightForThem

America’s teachers have gone above and beyond during this extraordinarily difficult year to help children keep learning through this pandemic. Today marks the beginning of Teacher Appreciation Week — so please, find some time today to thank a teacher.

Some 12 million American children still don't have adequate Internet connections for remote learning. I'm in rural Oregon, and some local kids have neither cell service nor Internet. We need Bandwidth for All: https://t.co/HwTAP1mGU2

Somehow we weathered and witnessed
A nation that isn't broken
but simply unfinished
There is always light
if only we're brave enough to see it
if only we're brave enough to be it.
