I try not to curse in public, but... 🤷🏽‍♀️

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The whole conversation about the GND “killing jobs” is a fossil fuel lobbyist talking point that neglects the fact that MILLIONS more jobs stand to be created by investing in building a national grid, installing millions of solar panels, wind turbines, new infrastructure, etc.

Simply put: if you're thinking about coming into Washtenaw to intimidate voters, don't do it. People have fought for generations for the right to vote.

It's a core, fundamental right. Any interference with that right will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. /fin

Scott's wonderful--& hilarious--memory made me smile, and inspired me to share one of my own:

The Time RBG Put Me In My Place re: My Jabot Game.

At the end of each term, there's a little party for Justices and the clerks. The entertainment's a "skit" put on by the clerks. /1

It's trying. It's difficult. Like so many, I feel a profound sense of hopelessness.

But we need to fight like hell to honor her legacy. To preserve her accomplishments. To build a better world.

It's what she would have done. It's what she *did.*

May her memory be power. /fin

I'm just going to put this out there: ballots are not the only thing the Post Office delivers, and if you mess up the USPS, you are messing up seniors getting their medicines by mail; small businesses shipping their products; contractors who still get paid by check.

@EliNSavit I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to work on a campaign I could truly stand behind. Watching the work of myself and my peers play out in a way that I believe will truly better our community has been an amazing experience. I can’t wait for what is to come! Thanks Eli!

Empower young people. Trust young people. Listen to them.

Last night, we hosted an outdoor appreciation dinner for our interns—mostly young people who threw all of themselves into this campaign over the past few months. /1

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

If it’s not safe enough for indoor dining, what makes it safe enough for indoor schooling?

(...and restaurants actually have soap in the bathrooms)

[Eli Savit @EliNSavit]

👏 👏 👏

It’s time to move beyond the era in which DAs and county prosecutors sit in a silo. We need to advocate, and work towards, non-criminal solutions that will make our communities healthier and safer in the long run.

And that’s what we’ll be doing in Washtenaw.

At this time, PLEASE don't rely on the mail to return your absentee ballot. Either return it in person to your clerk, or vote at the polls on August 4!

[Eli Savit @EliNSavit]

Just ONE WEEK 'til the election! Make a plan to vote in-person or absentee. If absentee, consider dropping off your ballot at the clerk's office to ensure it's counted!

Change requires coalitions. And I'm so honored by the broad coalition that's supporting our vision for transformative criminal-justice reform.

We're honored to have received support from so many progressive groups and groups representing a diverse array of Michiganders. /1

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

My wife and I had our two teenage boys watch the amazing speech by @AOC. America is a better place because Representative Ocasio-Cortez chose public service. She has inspired more people than she will ever know.

Thank heaven @aoc is a great soul with great politics and great humanity, because she is also better at politics than anyone I've ever seen in my life.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s rebuttal to Ted Yoho should be studied for its measured cadence, its artful construction, and its refusal of ugliness, David Remnick writes. https://t.co/U1EpZnPdhH

The fact that Jeff Bezos increased his wealth by $13 billion in 1 day during a pandemic, while his employees struggle to make ends meet and 50 million Americans are filing for unemployment, tells you a great deal about how our economy is rigged in favor of the billionaire class.
